Some Random Things That Ethan's Been Doing...

Dan had to go on an overseas business trip for 9 days which unfortunately included being gone over Ethan's eye surgery date. Thankfully my mom was able to go with me to the surgery center, and Ethan and I stayed with my parents for 3 days while Dan was gone. While we were there, Ethan showed Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Mike how he could brush his hair all by himself (again with the bristles facing out instead of toward his hair)!:
Grandma G. and Grandma Q. have been playing pat-a-cake with Ethan. He recently figured out how to do the "rolling" motion with his arms (not captured on film as of yet). It's really cute because he is still getting the hang of it, so sometimes he bumps his arms together as he tries to rotate them around each other.

Ethan likes for me to play his baby Bach CD while I am changing his diaper, and I recently showed him how to press the Play/Pause button on the CD player. He gets so excited and proud that he can push the button all by himself (the CD player is on his dresser, but I hold him up, and he reaches over and presses the button himself!)
