Woah. 6 months! Ethan, you are the pride and joy of my life!
God makes babies so cute for a very good reason, (and of course you are cuter than the average, babe) because when they have a crazy night, cry a lot or are just generally contankerous, you glance over at them and fall in love all over again. :)
Lately you are sitting up on your own for a few seconds, sometimes longer, rolling over multiple times towards an object of interest, laying your head on my shoulder and cuddling in for a bit, fascinated with eyes - you want to touch them!, really 'getting it' when we are being silly or playing a game with you, always trying to grab the bowl, or spoon when we feed you rice cereal, you are curious about everything that isn't a toy and want to touch or crumple it, you love Ellsworth and want to "pet" him (which sometimes ends with a dog yelping and a surprised baby), and you love playing peekaboo! Playing little games with you is one way to get a few precious giggles out of you, which is super cute. Your two bottom teeth are visible through the gums and are coming through any day!
Oto-san (your papa) always looks at you in the morning on his way out the door and asks, "Is it Take Your Kid To Work Day yet?"

Your little guy is such a sweet heart!! Hard to believe he is six months already! And you are right, God made them cute so that when they are cranky you just have to look at them and remember just how much you love them.

Cute pics! Ethan is getting so big - it was fun to see you at Mom's Program this year as well!
I got your comment on my blog about the sock monkeys, and I used the pattern from this site:

I just chose to use fluffy socks instead and did a few things different, but the basic pattern that I used is from that site. I hope that helps you!
