Hello From Chicago....

Ethan and I are in Chicago this week, visiting Grandma and Grandpa Ferschl.

We had a pretty good flight (my first alone with him)....and arrived here on Saturday.

731 East Ave is a totally different place for Ethan now that he can walk.....so many places to discover.

He quickly found the stairs, and kept heading up them (I didn't even know that he knew how to climb stairs...), and we quickly learned that we had to get a safety gate to keep him in.

For a not child-proofed house though, we have done pretty well. He did somehow get a hold of a large meat fork today, and was sucking on it before anyone noticed...luckily no damage done.

Sunday, we went out to a favorite pizza place with Great-Grandma Ferschl and Great Aunt Judith. Ethan (not surprisingly) LOVES pizza.

We are having a great time here. Wish we could come more often!
