Well, Ethan is one year old. And what an active boy he is too.

He can pretty much walk whenever he wants. That isn't all the time, but when he is in the mood he can really go. So, he was definately walking before one year. I don't know that it means anything, but at least it makes us feel proud of him.

His birthday was a pretty simple affair, on Friday we had Linda over and opened a few presents. He had a cupcake but mostly he just smeared it around his tray rather than his face. It was fun to sing to him and watch him look around at all of us as we waited for him to do something messy with his cake.

On Saturday, David, Chris, and the boys came out to visit. We opened a few more presents and again had a fun day. Ethan loved playing with Bryson especially. We think that Ethan viewed him as close to his own age (5 years apart) and so wanted to be a show off. We have some great video of him wrestling that consists of Ethan standing up and then falling onto him. Very cute.

So, now we officially have a toddler. I'm sure our lives are going to change in so many ways because of this.
