Airport, Auntie Anne's, and Artwork- like my alliteration?

Dan had to go to the Consumer Electronics Show for work for this week, so Ethan and I spent some "Mommy and me" time as well as visited my parents and brother for a couple of days. We went to the airport to pick Daddy up tonight, and Ethan just loved watching all of the people there. For the last month or so he has really been into waving at people and saying "hi". No one is a stranger to him! His eyes light up and he grins from ear to ear when people respond back to him.
Since we arrived at the airport early, we just HAD to stop by Auntie Anne's and get a soft pretzel. I absolutely love their soft pretzels, especially with cheese sauce. So, while we waited for Dan's flight to land, Ethan had his first taste of an Auntie Anne's pretzel. He loved it too!
We waited by the escalator at the baggage claim for Dan to come down, and Ethan kept shouting "Daddy" about every 5 seconds (I had told him to watch the escalator for Daddy). Finally Daddy appeared, and Ethan was so excited. This afternoon we had opened some Crayola Beginnings Tadoodles for the first time (which are basically beginner crayons), and Ethan had colored a "welcome home Daddy" card for Dan, so we gave him the card at the airport. When I have a chance, I'll add a pic of Ethan's artwork from Dan's card. He colored pretty well at first, but then became interested in putting the crayons in his mouth (as mentioned in the previous post, his recent teething has prompted putting everything in his mouth again!)
Here are some pics of Ethan playing at my parent's house. The last pic is of Ethan toting around a spray bottle filled with water. He has caught on that we spray both our dog, Waggles, and my parent's dog, Sasha, when they misbehave. He had fun chasing both doggies around while brandishing the water bottle...
