Ethan's Birthday Dinner...all of his favorites....meatloaf and macaroni & cheese

Ethan was so tired at dinner that when we weren't looking he fell asleep in his high chair....he wasn't asleep for long though, he sneezed with a mouthful of food and it woke him up right up!

Ethan got a new sippy cup with his name on it for his birthday.

"Happy Birthday to Ethan..."


Ethan had so much fun with the train Grandma and Grandpa Cour got him!




Turning 1 year old is exhausting!
