21 months


Ethan turned 21 months old today and I can't believe that we will have a 2 year old kid soon..3 months left! Ethan is such a joy and usually always a happy toddler. Don't get me wrong he does have his cranky days. Ethan is down to one nap a day when in reality I think he should be getting two , but he refuses and just goes to bed a bit early. On a good note he has been waking up at 7:45am almost every morning!! Yippie!
I've been worried because he doesn't "talk" a whole lot yet ..he does say words just not consistently. He babbles all day and is very smart and tries to be very precise especially when playing with his Choo Choo Trains. He always makes sure the trains are on the track and makes sure they all go the right way. I love watching him play, it's just so amazing to me that Drew and I created such beautiful life. You should see him get up and down the stairs now hes a pro..cruises right up and slides right down. He still loves to jump and has great balance. He likes to dance and twirl in circles which makes me a bit nauseous to watch :)
Here he is helping trim the Christmas Tree.

Such a good helper..except when he takes the ornaments all off the tree and tries to give them to Dewie...stinker .

He's in such awe of the tree as I am too. The look of Christmas Tree makes me feel peaceful inside.

Happy E!

I love how he sticks his tummy and bottom out as well as his tongue. I could just kiss that sweet face all the time. Daddy likes to give neck and tummy blasters and it just cracks Ethan up. Tummy Blasters as daddy calls them are a must have after bath time. Ethan has the best laugh ever!

Halloween Part 2. Oct 31st

We didn't do much for Halloween just carved pumpkins and took Ethan over to G.G's to go Trick or Treating. Ethan isn't old enough to understand the whole concept and probably would get cranky fast so we just did a small family thing. Here are some pictures of all of us on Halloween carving pumpkins!

Ethan really enjoyed sticking his hands in the pumpkins and pulling out the insides.

He must of loved the taste of the pumpkin guts because he kept trying to eat it. He particularly liked the seeds.
