Stop and smell the roses?

Not Ethan. He gets to stop and smell the lilacs, imho the best flower EVER! He seemed to agree with me, and luckily he did not even try to eat it. It is going to rain tonight, tomorrow, and probably Friday too, so I thought if we were getting a picture with them it had to be tonight. It was a quick photo shoot though, it was buggy out. But we got a few good shots really fast.

Ethan is pretty ready to crawl, he's staying on his stomach now without screaming, and will even turn himself over. But to move he still rolls around. He does the rocking on his arms and knees, but the only way he can crawl is backwards.

He's also eating a lot more food lately. Volume, not type. He's still not thrilled about anything but fruit, especially if I don't mix fruit into it. He'll eat the chicken or turkey dinners I found, but only if they are half applesauce or pears. I know, that sounds totally gross, but if he'll eat it that's what I'll do.

Over the weekend Ethan celebrated his first cinco de mayo/ Kentucky derby festival, though I did not think to take any pictures. We also went to a Mexican restaurant on Monday where he enjoyed the real cinco de mayo celebration with some people from the parent's group.
