Ride 'em Cowboy!

Ethan loves to be held. He likes to be up high where he can feel like he is in the action. He's getting good at sitting on Daddy's shoulders (although he still does need a little additional support from behind). Before we took this picture, Ethan was holding on to Daddy's ear. We failed to get a picture of it, but still managed to get a few we like.

One of his favorite things to do while he is on Daddy's shoulders is slobber in his ear.

Ethan is growing up more and more every day. Lately, he has found more interest in his toys. They can keep him occupied for minutes at a time (for those of you with kids, you know that any time they are occupied is precious). Some of his favorite "toys" are his burp cloths. He loves to feel them with his hands and his mouth.

Just another one of his wild hair days. This is what happens when he doesn't get his hair combed after his bath the night before.

Ethan has a question...So it seems. One other thing: There have been two occasions when we have been either preparing or eating food while he was watching and he starts laughing. We have no idea what he finds so funny. The first time, Mom was just eating dinner, and he laughed whenever she took a bite. The other time, Dad was grilling some chicken, and Ethan thought it was funny whenever Dad put a new piece of chicken on the grill. His little laughter was a nice Father's Day present. He has such a hearty laugh for such a small kid.
