Ethan, my little nephew!! (And my brother & sister-in-law, too!)

Posted in Children and Families, Personal

A month ago I flew down to Atlanta to visit my brother, Mark, my sister-in-law, Jamie, and my little nephew, Ethan! Ethan was 13 months old at the time and it was the first time I’d been able to meet him, so I was soooooooooooooo excited!!! I had loved looking at all the photos my brother would send, and the few little videos, and I was so in love with the little guy already, so getting to meet him and get him used to me and play with him and hold him and all that was so wonderful for me, it meant so so so much. And Ethan learned to really walk on his own at the very end of my visit, I LOVED getting to see that and cheer him on, we were all clapping for him and he’d get so proud of himself and clap, too, so so cute!!! I also love all the little expressions he makes, and his big huge smile, and there’s one eyebrow photo I got that I think is so hilarious! And of course it was also so wonderful for me to get to spend so much time with Mark and Jamie as well, it had been over two years since I’d seen them, which is way too long. And I was taking lots of mental notes the whole time on various toys, schedules, etc. – in preparation for being a parent myself soon! Jamie gave me so much helpful advice about being in the hospital, labor, and first coming home that meant so much to me as well. It was a wonderful visit!!! Although it was REALLY hot there, we could barely stand to be outside for any time at all so stayed inside the AC most of the time. I like mild weather!

Here are a bunch of my favorite photos from my visit!!! I fall in love with Ethan all over again when I look at these! I also took a ton of iPhone videos and I need to download those off my phone so I can look at them and make a little video! Also, if you want to see many more photos from my visit, you can CLICK HERE, and the password is “ethan”. Enjoy my little nephew’s most adorable cuteness!!!

I love this one so much, he’s so cute!

This is now one of my all-time favorite kid photos, I love it’s magical quality and how to it speaks to the joy of discovery and joy of life!

Look at that laugh, I love it so much!!!

Ethan loved “blowing bubbles”, sometimes he’d get so into it and be doing it for a few minutes straight. This was a lucky shot, that my camera refocused on the spit coming out! He looks so happy, and now Mark and Jamie have a photographic memory of him loving to do this!
