Our little man is now 17 months old and is so much fun!! His newest things are having conversations with himself that make no sense to us, balancing on all of his toys, saying night-night, and blowing his nose and throwing the tissue in the garbage! Of course, new things arise each day:) He is going to be an independent boy, that is for sure!
Ethan loves balancing in his car.....but he still needs to work on his balance!
Playing in the leaves...this was the best picture that I could get, he would not stand still he was having so much fun!Ethan loves to read books, especially about animals:)
Mom got him laughing really hard with the pig sound!!
I am not going to lie and say that Ethan is a perfect angel because the fact is a naughty streak has begun to arise. I knew that this day would come and that he was not going to listen to everything that I said all the time. Adventures of motherhood! His favorite naughty thing to do, is take daddy's books off the shelves and tear the pages if he can get to it before mom catches him! He also likes to throw his food on the floor, but we are being consistent with him and slowly he is doing those behaviors less and less. Sometime though, you just can't help but laugh because you can predict his every move!
Jim and I are doing well. Jim just finished his plastic surgery rotation and started his rheumatology rotation today. I am excited that he will have another laid back month with no call because after this month, it goes back to those nasty 30 hours shifts every three days. I have joined a mom's group and have fun with that and I am excited to be going on a 24 hour scrapbooking marathon weekend this month. I need that time to devote to Ethan's book or it will never get done! Ethan and I have several play dates a week and we loves going to the library, parks, and anything else there is to do around Kalamazoo. We are going to have a fun month picking and carving pumpkins with Ethan who thinks every pumpkin is a huge ball! I don't know if you remember but last year we put Ethan inside a pumpkin for Halloween and it was so cute, this year I am afraid that there is no pumpkin big enough to do that:)
Ethan and daddy have been having fun building forts together when Jim gets home from work at night. At first Ethan was scared of them, but soon learned that they were fun to go in and out of and play "boo" with :) He is our silly little boy!
"This is fun!"
Ethan loved the "balls" at Target!
On Saturday September 13 our good friend from high school Stephanie married Bryan, a great guy that she met while attending MSU. They had a beautiful wedding and it was so nice to see everyone from high school again. Congrates you two....you were meant for each other!!
