Ethan is 11 months old today! He mastered so many things this past month. He now is a true walker, spending more time on his feet than his knees and getting around the house very quickly! He also loves to hold just one of our hands and walk like a big boy... He has four new teeth which he uses to bite off pieces of his favorite cereal bar. His new favorite restaurant is Gramma Sharron's (a local diner type place here). He can eat off the buffet for free, and eat he does. He loves it there. Tonight Grandpa Duke bought us dinner there since when he said it on the phone Ethan stopped whining. Ethan was a happy boy having eaten; spaghetti, chicken, mashed potatoes, pasta salad, cheese, toast, peas, potato fries, and carrots. He was so big we had to loosen his car seat straps to take time home lol. He also learned to drink through a straw taking advantage of the famous kid's cup! He is still on a nice schedule, going to bed at 7:30, waking at 8:30 and napping for an hour at some point during the day. He enjoys a big breakfast, lunch, then snack followed by dinner. We go to two different play groups, have kids over for Bible study, and take lots of walks since the weather is so nice. Although Ethan prefers that I run with the stroller and he bangs on the bar like he has horse reigns until I start running! He can say daddy, loves to talk on the phone, plays very well with his toys, and enjoys listening to his worship CD, he sways back and forth. His cutest thing is still silly baby, where he shakes his head back and forth back and forth... I can't believe it has almost been a year! We sure are enjoying our little guy, I can't wait to rake leaves at Grandma and Grandpa Koeser's house so I can take pictures of Ethan playing in the piles!
