Mr. Grabs A Lot

Now that Ethan is older he has become super curious. If he sees something he goes for it. His favorite thing to do right now I grab things out of our hands. He loves to grab for the computers or food. He's also into opening & closing the gate doors. If we go through a gate he like to follow & try to close the door. He can be such a help. Yesterday I was playing with him & looking some things up on the net for some gift ideas of his b-day. he likes to help me look things up. Suddenly he was all about Carmel so I watched him follow Carmel into the dining room. Usually he comes right back but he was intent on getting the cat so I follow him to the kitchen where he tried to follow Carmel to the basement. He was snagged before he got that far & he was not happy about it either. Ethan loves to terrorize the poor cats. Now that he is more mobile he is all about getting around. He covers every inch of the living room & dining room several times in a few hrs. He's all about getting into whatever his little hands can get. Ethan is a very determined little fella. Once he's walking we're really going to be in trouble HA HA HA. He's been getting up about 9 in the morning takes his nap about 12:30 & another little cat nap about 7 then he goes to bed about 9 at night. He is needing less naps & is now staying awake longer between naps. His meals he eats when he gets up then he eats about 4:30. He gets a snack in between. He was refusing to eat when we wold try to feed him before 4:30 so we just made that a set time. He's eating a lot more now about 20oz of food per meal. We are going to be starting him on reguar food once we are out of the baby food. Since he hasn't gotten all his teeth in yet we'll stick to soft foods (bananas, pears, peaches, ect). He seems to be a little more ready for that now. If you haven't noticed I added a b-day countdown to the side bar. I thought it was something fun to add to his blog.

There is no new update on Kayleigh for those of you who might be wondering. There was a post on her site yesterday from a very close friend of Adam & Aimee's pleading with people to donate to the Freemans. They are in a world of hurt right now & have been for a while. Due to Kayleigh's health issues their insurance has gone up along with all her medical bills. They felt that she was more important than their morgage & other bills. Now their house will be forclosed on at the end of this month. They are in trouble of losing their home & other posessions. On top of that they have lost their daughter too. She has not been given a time limit but nature will eventually take its course & they will have funeral expenses to deal with. There have been several fund raisers done to help this family but not much money is being raised. I'd like to encourage those that read this blog to go to Kayleigh's blog & click on the "Donate" button in the side bar to the right. If everyone who follows her blog would donate $5 they would raise over $10,000. Matt & I have made a donation to them I encourage others to do the same. So please help this family out this is an amazing family who needs a little help. To donate go to www.kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com.
