Lordy, it was HOT today. I escaped the house at about noon to get Ethan new tennies and to pick up some groceries. We ended up getting him some really cute Nemo shoes. The fishies light up when he walks. Man, when he saw those he did not want any other shoe!

Here are a few pics:

Ok, he is not picking his nose! I just happened to catch his finger at the wrong place at the wrong time! I love this pic because its just *so* Ethan lately. That look...


































After the shoes we went to Fred Meyer. I wanted some salmon steaks, and I thought it would be no problem to get them since I see them all the time. Well, they didn't have any, but if I wanted to buy a whole salmon, they'd be happy to cut it into steaks for me. Sorry, but if I wanted a whole salmon, I'd just ask my Dad!

I asked Jason to look for salmon steaks at Safeway on his way home, but THEY did not have any either! Jason, bless his heart, headed down to Central Market because they usually will have whatever the other stores don't. Amazingly, they also did not have salmon steaks Why not? I'm so confused about this. I was quite deflated when he told me this, so I asked him to get one of the gourmet sammiches that are at Central Market cuz I had lost my will to cook. I got a muffuletta sandwich (many kinds of meat, olives, vinaigrette, cheese) and Jason got an Italian Grinder. They have some GREAT sandwiches there. Generally my favorite is the NY steak and blue cheese one, but I felt like something different. Ethan was still asleep when J got home, so we got to eat in peace, then when he woke up he had a GoGurt (yogurt in a tube), 2 clementines and some potato chips.

I've put two new videos up... Be warned... One of them is of Ethan peeing in the tub. He can go potty when we ask him now. So, if you don't want to see a boy peeing, don't watch that one :)

Gwendolyn has, out of nowhere, developed massive upper body strength. I had just been getting a wee bit concerned because I didn't think she was holding her head up very well when BAM! she's doing it like a champ. In fact, today she was 'inchworming' a bit... something Ethan didn't do until he was much much older. She can lift her entire chest off the floor now and will push up with her feet and lift her lower half off the ground too.

Here's a pic I took of her today:














Today my breastpump finally came! Yay! I bought it off Ebay at a steller price. It was supposed to be here on Friday, but FedEx messed up and it ended up in Burlington somehow. It came today and its electric and although its noisy, I expect it to work quite well. Now, lets just hope she'll want to take a bottle :)
