Here is Ethan under his Bug Excersaucer, instead of in it- he crawled under there when I was in the kitchen and couldn't get back out because he kept hitting his head- some kids are too cute!
Ethan decided to wear his cookie instead of eat it- he was having so much fun playing with his food- who can stop a nine-month old from having fun?
Here's Ethan and I sitting in the shallow end of our pond- and you can see in the background it's almost full- the rain the middle of September got us started pumping water from the ditch across the road and quickly filled the pond- if only we had gotten that rain back in June before the hot weather....

Here's Ethan a couple days later swimming in the pond- he was the first one to go swimming(and now it's too cold so he might be the only one this year)... hopefully we'll have a warm summer next year so we can use the pond a lot!
