Normally, when we find crawfish in the frozen section of the grocery store, it is peeled tailmeat. This time, the frozen crawfish came boiled, seasoned and whole:
While Tommy shucked the crawfish and made the etouffee, I baked mom's famous recipe for chocolate chip cookies and made 7 layer dip. Yum!
You can tell we are all new parents - Stephanie, Doug and Ethan arrived at around 5pm for dinner and left around 7:30 to be home for Ethan's bedtime. Ethan was born last April, so he is a few months older than Jack and already starting to crawl around and walk with the help of his Mommy and Daddy (although Jack does have more hair :) ). Ethan seemed much more interested in Max and Albert than he was in Jack, but that's to be expected, I guess. Max and Albert tolerated Ethan's "pets," but weren't too excited about them. It will be interesting to see how they handle having a crazy toddler around all the time when Jack gets bigger.
Stephanie and Doug have had us over so many times it was great to finally get to repay the favor. We had a great time! (in the future, I'll try to remember to take pictures of the parents, too!)

Earlier in the week, we put together Jack's excersaucer. He's not quite old enough for it yet, so he didn't quite understand what to do with all of the buttons and rattles, but he did manage to find a few buttons to push. It will be fun to watch him as he explores and what everything can do. Thanks to John and Jennifer Davis for the excersaucer - many hours of fun to come!!
His feet didn't quite touch the ground yet, but they looked so cute, we had to take a picture!
