When we decided to have another baby the first question that came to mind was how old will Ethan be when the baby is born...27 months old was that answer! Now hes 27 months old and "ready" to be a big brother. I can't believe E is 27 months old though. He has learned so much over the last month. We are so proud of him. Although very proud and loving, Drew and I really have to pray a lot because Ethan can really test us when it comes to his tantrums. The terrible two's are in full effect at the Nelson house and pretty much at anyone else's house as well :) Please pray for us in the next month that we can figure this whole new journey out and make sure Ethan doesn't feel left out or less loved.
This past week Daddy gave Ethan his first buzz cut. It makes him look so grown up and so so cute! We just love it and I think E does too. He was a little frightened of the clippers at first but nothing that a little icy couldn't cure:)
And yes that black blurr is my belly ,its kind of hard to keep out of the closeups these days.
Ethan is pretty much obsessed with his blankie and his paci. We have decided to let him keep the paci until he can get used to being a brother first then comes the hijacking of the paci, he can keep his blankie for as long as he would like though :)

A couple things I just want to remind myself of that Ethan says/does at this age
-Bible Book Bop..Owwww ( he loves watching Go Fish). He says this at 5:00am when he jumps in mommy and daddy's bed in the morning.
Bye Doo -translation -Bye Drew. He says this when anyone leaves even if it isn't Drew:)
Bye Bye I love you.
Hey P! Our cat's name is Pippy and we call her P.
Buzz and Woody- He loves them
Batman!
His favorite cartoon right now is Fan Boy and Chum Chum . He knows the intro song:P
Eloise.
I'm sure there are a bunch more but I have to think harder and anyone that has been pregnant knows that's almost impossible at this stage :)

Love this post. I didn't know about "Bye Doo" - funny!
Gloria was 26 months old when Violet was born and Lukey was 27 1/2 months when Isaiah was born - so pretty much exactly the same age as Ethan will be when your new baby is born. The girls, of course, are best friends - and our boys are really starting to kind of play. They'll be good buddies!
It is exhausting and difficult at first, but you'll figure it out. You are great parents! Just remember it's only temporary - the baby will get older and eat less and Ethan will adjust and learn to share you. It all works out. I promise. There is more love than you could ever imagine.
Love you - take care - and keep your feet up in this heat. Uff-da!
I love!! the hair! I just want to rub his head! Haha.
