February is gone...

where did it go? 28 days seem like 2 lately...

I dont have any recent pictures to post, but i will throw in a quick update..

Seth and i continue to be busy with work, but try and make time weekly to spend time together with the help of some really great babysitters.. We are both involved in worship team at our church and really enjoy it. Seth started the "biggest loser" contest at work and has already lost 22 pounds in just 8 weeks! unbelievable! i got back into pottery, joining a local co-op that i go to weekly..we both are love being a mommy and daddy. Speaking of Ethan, he is growing rediculously fast.. changing every day, his personality, mobility, and vocabulary. He likes to say "dope" a lot. real cute. not sure where he picked that up.. his favorite activity is taking baths, which, he will try and crawl in at any time.. along with "fishing" for toilet paper when we forget to put the seat cover down. oops.

he is walking easily with assistance, and will take 1-2 steps alone before sitting, but he's on the move for sure! he is just starting to show signs of seperation anxiety and shyness around people, which i realize is a normal phase, but i thought for a while it wouldnt come.. he was always so chipper and sunshiney around people. When i took him in for his 9 month well child check, the poor kid panicked when they were measuring and weighing him. understandably so, as they stripped him naked to put him in the scale. poor fella... speaking of measurments, his current height is OFF the charts, at 30 and 3/4 inches long, however he did lose a pound since his last appt topping off at about 19 and 1/2 lbs. so tall and skinny dude. :)

alltogether, a happy and healthy Holmes family, very much looking forward to the summer. :)
