St. Louis

We decided to get away for the weekend, so we pricelined a hotel in St. Louis! It was so fun. Our hotel was right downtown across the street from the arch. First thing Saturday morning, we went to Soulard Farmer's market, which was so great. We got some of the best pastries I've ever had for breakfast and enjoyed looking at all the fresh fruits and vegetables. Then we went to tour the Anheuser-Busch facility. The stable where they keep the cyldesdales is the most impressive place there, for sure. Then, in the afternoon we met Lauren, Erick, and Lexie at the zoo. It took us forever to find a place to park, but we had a nice afternoon walking around. In the evening, we took a little stroll across the street and looked around the arch and went down to the riverfront. Ethan did really great, but was so exhausted. Poor kid--we just dragged him all over the place this weekend.

This past week, Ethan finally started scooting. Just today, I think he figured out that he can get somewhere. He's officially on the move! He has also been practicing more sounds and his latest one is "ma ma." He has no idea what he is saying, but it's so cute to hear him say mama. Here's a little video of him in the car on the way to St. Louis.
