You might remember the Milk Crate Cart with Isaac.  It was one of his favorite things to play with/ride in as a kid and with Ethan doing a good job sitting, I thought it was time for the Beethmaster to get his shot.  Here is Ethan doing his thing:



Note the look of concern on Ethan's face as his brother unleashes him.  In actuality Isaac did an amazing job with his brother, never pushing him into anything or pushing him too hard.

Here is another funny shot, note Ethan's hands over his mouth as if to indicate pure terror:



Overall, the Milk Crate Cart was a huge hit.  I can see us pushing Ethan around inside the house well into the Christmas season.  

Its been a tradition around here for years, but this is the first trip to the Red Apple Farm for Ethan Joseph.  Its always a great time as the weather is perfect and the destination is great.  Oh, and the company is amazing.

Here is a picture of the boys just after we loaded up on apples:




If you think of Norman Rockwell, its because, they are about as Rockwellian as it gets--short, fifties style hair, apples aplenty. Ethan had a great time watching Isaac play the role of a monkey. He climbed up trees, scurried across limbs, and swung from place to place all in the search for the perfect apple. Here he is, high up in an apple tree:



And finally, here is a shot of Ethan amongst the pumpkins, a shot I am sure will become a Beethan classic:

As September blew away and October came Ethan Joseph found a new skill: sitting up.  Its not perfect posture, more of a very slow fall or a lean on belly chub, but it is still sitting.  Here he is in the safe confines of home:



And here he is out and about:



He is a sittin' fool these days, though it certainly doesn't help him that is brother is zooming around. Ethan wants to do the same thing and often that ends up with a Beethan laying face first on the carpet.
