We are now on constant Etienne watch, he is so mobile and so quick that we can not leave him unattended for a second… When we did, this is what he got up to… We found the little man on his way upstairs…

It is clear that Etienne is what we call a “lekker beck”, he just loves the “sweet / tasty stuff”. I needed to keep him busy while I made his dinner so I gave him a few chips and he just loved them, eating everything I gave him.

Etienne has noticed the stuffed toys in his room and while he has not come out and asked for any one in particular, he has used those blue eyes to extract at least his Disney Donald Duck out and down from the bookshelf. Here the total joy of getting what he wanted comes through !

As he gets bigger the gap between Cezanne and Etienne grows a little smaller. Here the two sit and watch TV while having a snack. Mama was just out of the shot to catch Mr. “I have no fear and just climb down head first”.

I especially love the last shot where Etienne puts his hand on Cezanne’s shoulder, almost as if to say “Hey Sis, please pass the Pirate Booty snacks…”

Etienne and Cezanne playing “smack the glass door” one Saturday morning before Pee Wee Soccer ( for Cezanne ) and Swimming ( for Etienne and Daddy ). I am glad that they are beginning to understand that they are there for one another and hopefully real soon they will completely entertain one another.

Etienne has decided that lying on the floor and sitting on the floor are for babies and he is now a big boy. He only wants to be in a standing position which when combined with his love to be in your arms leads to the human jungle gym syndrome. His huge feet jabbing you in the love handle is actually quite painful, plus the dude weighs about a ton !

Here he stands at the TV with his sister before heading out to Cezanne’s gymnastics class.

Etienne has discovered play and that we have a basement filled with toys. One of his absolute favorites is Cezanne’s Dora tent, he loves to crawl through the door flaps and peep out and then crawl back inside. He is very interested in doors, he loves opening and then closing a door. His crawling is getting better, he is now really quite fast and you can not leave him unattended at all !!

Just too cute not to capture and post, Etienne really loves bath time and when we are not fast enough he waits for us at the bath. If he could climb in on his own I am sure he would.

Etienne and the remains of what was a rather large finger biscuit. He really loves these and inhales them when ever one is presented to him.
