So Many New Things...

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Having a very energetic toddler doesn't leave much time for things I want to do :) Ethan is doing great and is growing and growing. He is so much fun to play with and interact with now. He is running and climbing on EVERYTHING! Some days I think 'well today is the day we will be getting stitches' LOL but he has a very hard head. He is talking a little bit but thinks he can have an entire conversation with you. He will look at you with the most serious face and begin to babble. When he is done he is like what you didn't understand that?! It is too fun to just watch him play. I feel like he is starting to use his imagination when he plays as he is 'talking' to his toys and doing super cute things with them. Just the other day he had his train and was 'flying' it around like and airplane. He is at the point now where he knows when things are bad and he shouldn't be doing them. He loves to stand on his little ride on firetruck. He will put both feet on the seat and hold onto the handles until you look at him. Once he knows you are watching he smiles great big and will let go of the handles and stand up. When he doesn't hear "no-no Ethan" he gets upset that you didn't acknowledge that he was doing something bad and will just move on to something else. If you do say "no-no Ethan" then he will continue to do it. Smart little guy :) He is really into his puzzles right now too. He got 4 new puzzles for Christmas and has mastered 3 of them. He can do his Mickey Mouse puzzles, match his shapes and colors and put all of the car/trucks back in their correct places. I was very surprised at how well he knows exactly where things go. He can also pick out the certain colors and cars when you ask him. If you want the school bus he will bring it to you, if you ask for the blue circle he will bring it to you. If you can't tell I am one proud Mommy :) We are also working on some new sign language. He has known more and all done for a long time now but now we can say please and thank you. Our next words are help (for help me please instead of standing there and screaming) and share. He is not very good in the sharing department but what kid really likes to share his toys :) Well this is pretty much a quick overview of what all E is up to these days. I will really try to get some new pictures posted soon!
