I asked Ethan last weekend if he wanted to help me make some brownies. I wasn't even sure if he knew what a brownie was, but nonetheless, he was able to sit up on the counter, so he was intrigued. After I mixed it all and put it in the pan to bake, I let him taste the batter....that was it, he was gone.....I believe his exact words were, "MMMM Mama, dat good." and of course his ever so famous, "Mere". A picture truly is worth a thousand words....
We are big stuff at our house...Hannah has been standing for a few weeks now, a little wobbly at first and now she is a pro. The thing that cracks me up is she will be crusing with the little crawl she does, she will stop and sit up in mid-crawl and then put her two hands on the floor lift her butt up and just stand. She gives herself quite the workout and I am convinced is already doing some sort of yoga poses in her whole standing routine. My mom thinks she will be walking by Christmas...we shall see.
Every year, okay for the past two years, I have taken Ethan to the pumpkin patch to take pictures for what was going to be our annual Halloween card. This year, I was so excited and dressed both Ethan and Hannah in cute Fall clothes. We were off...our mission, to get a great picture or two of the two of them in the pumpkin patch. Tired and hungry, probably wasn't the best set up for our photo shoot. Ethan refused to smile or to even look at the camera, and Hannah was more concerned with the hay all around her. She had this blank look on her face in all of the pictures and was more into the hay she was sitting on, picking it up and trying to put it in her mouth. Needless to say, there were no Rass Halloween cards this year!
Here is our little bat and cat! Hannah was supposed to be a pink poodle and wanted nothing to do with her costume. We tried two separate times to put her in and no dice...she was not going to wear it. So she wore her cute little cat hat, which she loved!!!
