Happy Easter

Ethan's first Easter felt more like Christmas, so many baskets filled with goodies. We spent the day at the Jablonski house had lots of food, lots of toys, and lots of babies.

Ethan's 1st Birthday Party

Our little boy's first birthday party was a hit! Ethan managed to get through the food, cake, and presents in a great mood. Adam's family was in town so Ethan got to spend the day with his entire family. Thanks so much to everyone. Check out the videos of the day....



Check him out trying the cake...and make sure to watch the end, our little Polish boy picked the shot glass just like uncle Ted and uncle Mike!

Happy Birthday Ethan

Ethan's first birthday was on a Saturday so the three of us were able to spend the day together; it was so much fun. Ethan woke up to a house of Batman decor and for his special day he had cinnamon rolls for breakfast; just like his daddy, he LOVED them! That afternoon, Adam and I took Ethan to the children's museum in Glenview. It turned out that he was still a bit young to really understand all of the "exhibits" but since he was already walking he was able to keep busy exploring and watching all of the other kids, I think he really had fun. After the museum we went home for a nap and when Ethan woke up Grandma Pam, Uncle Matt, Aunt Julie, and Kalyn and Brady were there to celebrate and have some cake. The weather ended up being amazing so he got to play outside with his cousins for a while too. Check out the events from the day....

Little Mozart....

Ethan didn't really like the taste of the birthday cake, but that didn't stop him for getting a little dirty! Typical little boy.

He had quite a day and I think his first birthday is well documented! On Sunday we went to Sears for some 1st birthday pictures. Ethan did a great job considering it was 1000 degrees in there, and the photographer did a great job considering Ethan kept trying to grab the camera and wouldn't stay still for 2 seconds at a time! Check out our photo shoot......

It wasn't all fun and games...

Almost One Year Old

Ethan will be a year-old on April 9th and he has been walking for over a month now and is getting really good at it. Check out this video of a typical five minutes with Ethan nowadays and a video of him practicing his kissing skills.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Ethan's first St. Paddy's Day was amazing! Over the weekend Ethan and daddy went to the parade and then on St. Patrick's Day mommy and bushia took Ethan to the park to enjoy the great spring weather. I can't believe how big this boy is getting, he is already 11 months and his 1st birthday is just around the corner. He can now walk across an entire room, he even stops mid walk if he sees something he wants and bends down to get it before continuing on; its unbelievable how fast he changes! Everyday he does something new that cracks us up, check out some of these adorable pictures to see what I mean....

Ethan recently had his first taste of ice cream and he loved it! He could barely wait for us to get the spoon into his mouth....

His new thing is to pucker his lips at you when he wants a kiss
