Here is the Birthday Boy thinking about eating his cake- Grandpa was trying to convince him to pick it up and eat it, but Ethan wasn't buying it :) He wanted nothing to do with touching the cake, so he wasn't a very exciting birthday boy!! Now the big boy is one and is getting better and better at walking all the time. It's hard to believe how fast the year has gone!

Brian is holding both Micah(his son) and Ethan- they both loved his Realtor pens and his 'palm pilot' (his little notebook)
All of the Grandkids playing operation....
Here's Ethan getting ready to open his presents at Grandma Fritz's on Christmas Eve.

Ethan taking a break after a day of hard work, or in his case, playing and getting into things...
Mommy and Ethan at the Stevenson family Christmas....
Here is our most recent family picture, taken at my Aunt Sue's

Here is our blue boy trying on Daddy's hat to keep his head warm in our cold kitchen.Mindy really wanted a good christmas picture of Ethan for his first Christmas.
But getting Ethan to pose is not as easy as it sounds. Ethan at Alison and Nacho house, after his long drive down to Indy to see his new cousin. He was pretty worn out, but that did not keep him from staying up until midnight.

Here is Ethan with Grandma and Grandpa Stevenson and his new baby cousin, Miguel, who was born December 1- he was a month early, but is doing very well and will be home for Christmas now!!














Here is Miguel still in the hospital- just one day old.

Here is Ethan Practicing his drinking out of a glass skill- he presses the glass so hard around his face he'll leave a ring- it's pretty funny and a dead givaway that he's found one of Kevin's glasses sitting on the floor. The other picture is Ethan and I showing off our tongues, as he loves to do often, no matter where we are.
