Enjoying the great outdoors

Well, I'm 22 weeks pregnant today, so over halfway there.  And we have decided on a name for this little guy.

His name is Ethan Charles.

We wanted to use another biblical name, like Caleb, for this little one, and to be honest ... I had no idea that there was an Ethan in the bible.  But my husband suggested it, and told me where to find him.  Psalm 89.

Things are still going well.  This pregnancy has been easy so far and hopefully will stay that way.

Little man is all over the place.  Growing bigger and learning new things every day.  He now says "yea" in response to everything, and is walking all over the place. He still loves reading books, and playing with anything that has buttons.  He's figured out how to turn the TV on and off, which he thinks is lots of fun.

I'll leave you with a few recent pictures of the little man.  And I'll try to update on here more often than I have been. 

We spent some time outside the other day enjoying the beautiful weather. 

Looking at leaves.

Tasting leaves.

Finding magnolia seeds under the big tree in the front yard.

Studying those seeds.

Showing mama what you found.

And then tossing them when you're done.

We're really looking forward to fall around here.
