Ethan has been keeping us on our toes yet again. He recently mastered crawling and sitting up. It seems as soon as he masters one milestone, he's on to the next! So, during our Thanksgiving break he figured out standing. Needless to say, the break turned into a baby proofing frenzy!
We enjoyed Thanksgiving day at my mom's home with Joel, Jamie, & John. We also invited Jason's mom to join us so we had a group of 7 adults and baby Ethan. Jason hunted Thursday morning with Justin who got a doe. Jason is still waiting for his!
Friday morning I sacrificed sleep for deals. Jason stayed with Ethan until I got home and we traded off so Jason could get some more hunting time in. I managed to get to Meijer, Target, Staples, & Menards. The weather was wonderful for shopping so it was a fairly easy morning. I have about 80% of our Christmas shopping done.
Sunday we spent at Jason's dad's home for Thanksgiving with Justin & Sam. Ethan was very exploratory and quite the ham soaking up any attention he could get.
Despite our greatest efforts to keep a schedule Ethan still was an overtired, overstimulated, cranky baby by Sunday night. Monday was a welcomed day of normal schedule.
Most recently one of my major tasks has been to pack up all of the outgrown baby clothes and things into storage totes by size to be stored in the basement. Hooray I am almost done!
The Christmas tree went up this week as well and Ethan has a new fascination with it and the pokey wreath in the dining room. We made some changes to our Christmas decorating this year. We have a play area (baby jail) in the corner in the living room where the tree has gone in the past and the tree is now in the dining room. The tree has only scarce amounts of decorations just in case Ethan is drawn to it before I can catch him. We left all of the branches on at this point but time will tell how attracted he will be to it. Right now he is happy being held up to it and touching the needles.
