The other night we let Ethan feed himself and it became a real mess. So when he started putting the bowl on his head we decided rather than stopping him we would just get the camera. All the damage was already done by that point in time.
Here are some more of the pictures of Ethan helping Dad wash the car. Though in the midst of it all he managed to eat the soap bubbles and dump the bucket out, it was still fun to watch him want to help. His pants were a little big though so he was sporting a little crack most of the time. Good thing the diaper stayed up.
And for those that didn't know three weeks ago the weather started to get a little warm here so we decided to kick on the a.c. (it was 98 one day and I know that many of you live in warmer climates) only to find out that it wasn't working. So we thought that it was lucky that this happened before our home insurance had lapsed. We called them they set us up with a contractor who came out and told us that our heat pump needed replaced. Apparently the insurance company gave that contractor such a hard in the next two weeks that they refused to work with the insurance company. So after many hours on hold and countless frustrations we will finally are having our a.c. unit fixed on Friday. Luckily some friends let us borrow a window unit that they weren't using so we have been able to survive. The whole family has been sleeping in the basement. I forgot to mention that during this time Ethan also got an ear infection, and had a 103 degree fever. Not fun when the house is almost unbearable. With this ear infection we found that Ethan is not only allergic to penicillin but also third generation cephalosporins (the two main antibiotics for ear infections). One last story to go along with this and then the marathon post will be done. Monday we decided to go to Moes for dinner, they have 5 dollar meal deal on Mondays. We had just sat down with our food and given Ethan a corn chip (Ethan was still taking the antibiotics at this time before we found out his allergy) when he starts to cough and then the cough turns into throwing up. So fun. Countless napkins later we are walking out the door with a child in a diaper and the food in to go boxes. Good times.

Keep him in the highchair as long as possible. Maren has decided that she wants to sit at the table like everyone else and has started throwing fits if I put her in there and there is an empty seat at the table. Man he is cute, and what kind of man would he be if he didn't show a little crack.
Love

Ethan is so cute. The bowl hat is great. They love to start feeding themselves, even though its a big mess for you. What a great helper. I wish you were closer, so we could see you more often. It's great to have your blogs to see how much Ethan grows and to keep us posted on all you news. Love and miss you.
I just watched the video (didn't have time yesterday)- just when you think he can't get any cuter. :) Congrats on being the kind of parents to let him put the bowl on his head. I try and can generally do that on a good day, but you never know. :) He is so adorable. This is such a fun age!
What a story. Man. With kids there is never a dull moment.
Audrey refuses to eat with utensils so the messes haven't come to terribly yet.
What a cute kid.
Oh and I am so glad you have the Ac working now!!!! Hallelujah!
