Young Love

Sophie has a very good friend, Ethan, who she just adores. She chirps and goes totally bonkers any time she seems him -- Ethan also usually reciprocates with his sweet little smiles and claps. Since they've spent so much quality time together (and since we have so many pics of the two of them) I thought they deserved a good post. Ethan is about 5 weeks younger than Sophie -- starting early on the older women. We joke that Sophie and Ethan are dating and here are some pics of the two of them through the years - er, months.

Some background music to set the tone...

"Through the years... through all the good and bad, I've loved the life we've had and I'm so glad I stayed right here with you through the years..."

September 2006
Their first walk together - chaperoned, of course.
Don't they look just positively thrilled to be there?!

October 2006
Sophie shows Ethan her mad rolling skills... Ethan is not impressed.
Their first Halloween - not too sure how either of them feels about participating in the Halloween parade, but their moms sure thought it was the best. :)Ethan as frog and Sophie as ladybug
January 2007
One Boy...
One Girl...
Two hearts beating wildly...

Whack! Sorry about that, Ethan...!
The Happy Couple
(My fave photo of the two of them)

So there you are. Sophie and Ethan may roll their eyes some day if they see this but for now we sure think they are sooo darling and make the cutest baby couple! Who says arranged marriages are a thing of the past?? Sophie + Ethan = 4ever. ;)

soooo baby cute! and what a fun post. I love that you have all those pictures of them, and that you have a fun friend with a baby the same age. That must be so nice for you to get together. I agree, that last picture is adorable!

Our Sam has a baby boyfriend, John, but he's a year older than she is. First he was always mauling her and smothering her with kisses, but now, he's kind of lost interest... maybe they're breaking up?

Hilarious post! The pictures are great. Caroline has a few more months to go before she develops a boyfriend crush--plus we need to get some boy infants in our Ward! Almost everyone has girl infants.

Embarassing blog posts are the rite of passage for kids of the 21st Century. Clara has a boyfriend, Michael, unto whom she is betrothed. There is a great picture of the two of them click here that captures Clara's feeling for Michael.

Here's to hoping it works out!
