Tuesdays with cousins
Every Tuesday my sister-in-law Heather and I take turns watching each other's kids. This means that twice a month we each get a morning to ourselves :) It's been fun having my niece and nephew over every other week, and Ethan enjoys having other kids around. Yesterday I practiced using my 50 mm lens inside (I've only really used it outside) and snapped some pictures.

Ethan has been practicing his walking a lot the past few days. He can make it about 9 or 10 steps now before he falls. Sometimes he falls much sooner than others, thus the bruised up forhead :)

He likes Ethan most of the time... that is until Ethan tries to play with the toys he is playing with :) I suppose Ethan is giving him practice because soon he will be the big brother instead of the baby (Clayton will be a big brother... not Ethan, don't misunderstand me there, haha).
This morning I cleaned most of my house. I had to take Matt to drop off his car at the repair shop, as it's acting up again, and then he took my car to work, so Ethan and I are at home today. That is just fine with me because it is COLD and rainy. It has snowed a few times today but nothing has stuck to the ground. The temperature has been hovering just above freezing.
I also got most of the rest of my gifts wrapped today. I have two more to wrap, but I have to pick them up from the post office first. I realized Christmas is already a week away... yikes! I don't know if I'll do much baking this year... the mood just hasn't struck and my days are quickly slipping by.
I'm still not feeling awesome. I have a mild cold which I probably caught from Ethan. I go back and forth between feeling OK and feeling icky. Hopefully I'll feel good by Christmas.
That's all for now :) I hear Ethan digging around in my cuboards, I suppose I'd better get him out of there. I have yet to get to the store to buy cabinet locks... perhaps one of these days :)
Ethan kept trying to drink out of Clayton's straw sippy so I got his out of the cupboard. I normally never use the kind with straws because Ethan just bites them. Yesterday however he figured out how to drink out of it! yay! He was very proud of himself.
