Outside

Our little man LOVES to be outside. Whether it's cold or hot, he'll stay out there for hours if he could. I'm not too fond of the cold, so we hadn't been outside as much as he liked, but since it's warmed up we're out there at least once a day.

When I uploaded these pictures the other day, I realized they pretty much sum up some of Ethan's favorite things.

Bubbles. He loves them. He'll go to the cabinet where we keep the bubble machine and ask, "bubbles?" I think his addiction to bubbles might put us in the poor house.

He's also learning how to use the bubble wands himself. Too cute.

Running. The kid loves to run. He'll start at one end of the yard, give us a sneaky grin like he's saying, "You ready for this?" and take off, usually giggling along the way.

Sticks. Who knows what's with the sticks, but unlike bubbles, they're free and they're everywhere. He likes to pick a stick as soon as we step out the door and carry it around the whole time. He can find a stick-like object almost anywhere we go.

That's our Ethan. And yes, he's wearing Christmas pajama bottoms in the backyard, don't judge.
