Stuck

I had to take the bumpers down in Ethan's crib because he kept pulling up on them. But now he gets stuck in between the bars. His little legs are too "Michelin Man" like to pull back out. He is also almost crawling. We still just put him in our room on the floor for naps, (space restrictions of our one bedroom condo) but now that he is more mobile he gets excited when he is left alone to roam free on the floor and explore the room. So now we have to cage him in a little bit. Everyone thought we were crazy for having a baby in such a small space. But being within walking distance to everything and right in the city it definitely worth it. Arlington is so much fun in the summer. There are concerts, markets, and movies in the park almost every night of the week. Last night we went a couple blocks down to a new hotel where they were having dance lessons and a concert on the rooftop. The view was so beautiful, and Ethan of course got a ton of attention. That is another fun thing about being here. Rosslyn (our neighborhood in Arlington, named for the metro stop) is sort of a business district filled with professionals. So you don't see many babies.

Ethan loves his dad so much. Even when he heard Matthew's voice while I was playing this on the computer, he was smiling and looking around for him.
