Happy 1st Birthday Ethan!

Happy Birthday to our little boy! One year ago today you blessed us with your arrival.
Life is so much better with you!

Mommy took the boys to Irvine Park in the morning... Ethan was not too sure if he liked the train ride

Big brother loved it!



Ethan loved the petting zoo

Ethan's 1st Birthday Party

We had Ethan's 1st Birthday party on Saturday August 28th at our home.
It was a blast & everyone seemed to have fun!

Transforming the backyard into a surf/beach themed ambiance was so much fun!
Pre-people

What an AMAZING cake!

Serious Ethan...

There's that happy smile!

Happy Birthday Ethan!

Little Sneaker

Does this look like the face of a sneaky boy??
He looks a little deceiving doesn't he??

When Ethan isn't throwing his food to Lady, he tries to be sneaky & hide his food next to him. It's usually not until we pull him out of the high chair that we notice his little stash of food.
What a sneaky boy!


Peek-A-Boo

Dominic loves to play around in the kitchen

Boo!

Playdate with Wyatt

Dominic & Ethan had a playdate with their friend Wyatt

As you can see, it is quite the task to get all 3 boys to look at the same time!

Lots of boys! Wyatt even has a little brother on the way...I predict many good times with rough & tumble boys!

Look At Me!

This is a little overdue... Ethan finally started pulling himself up on furniture & has started walking around the table! Hopefully he will start walking soon. He still prefers to scoot on his butt, but we've actually caught him even crawling a few times now too.



This sure is fun!

Irvine Spectrum Fun

We took the the boys down to the Spectrum for some lunch & fun



The boys loved the train

Ethan thought the motorcycle was hilarious


Shooting hoops like a champ!

"I'll Show You Guys!"

Some nights are a little like this...
Dominic refuses to go to bed, keeps coming out of his room, & then eventually falls asleep in odd places. We didn't even know he had fallen asleep like this until we came up to go to bed. Guess he thought he would "show us" by striking against bedtime.

Huntington Beach Pier

We hung out at the Huntington Beach Pier after meeting the Grieco Fam for breakfast

Ethan loved people watching on the pier!
