Trip to St. Louis

We just got back from our first trip to St. Louis to visit Aunt Amy, Uncle Jon and Cousin Ethan. Ethan is a doll and is quite the entertainment. We enjoyed watching him show off. Luke didn't want to be left out so started trying a new trick. He REALLY tries hard to roll from his back to his tummy. He gets over onto his side, but then can't quite get the rest of the way over. He gets very mad and I eventually help him, but it looks like he will be able to do it on his own pretty soon.

The dogs also got a taste of what it will be like in a few months when Luke can crawl and eventually walk. Ethan is about 15 months old and LOVES to chase the dogs around. They don't mind it when he is petting them nicely or giving them food, but they don't like it when he pulls their tails or legs. He did a good job of being gentle with them and by the end of the trip Bailey was even willing to sit by him.


This is Ethan giving Bailey a hug. I think the dogs got more hugs than I did.



Ethan trying on a monkey hat in Gymboree - it is very fitting for him because he is most definitely a monkey.

We had a great time and look forward to our next visit.
