Ethan has been growing and changing as usual this month.  We got him to stand on the bathroom scale and found out he weighs 28lbs!  Though I’m still not sure how he keeps gaining weight as his eating habits are not improving.  He seems to be eating even less these days.  We have got him to try cantaloupe and strawberries this month.

Ethan continues to talk like crazy.  The cutest new thing he says is “I love you.”  He will say “I love you Daddy” for a long time after Jason leaves in the morning and will say it before he goes to bed.  He absolutely cracks us up with the things he says and repeats.  He recognizes almost all of his letters and will say them when he is in the mood.  Speaking of mood, he is very opinionated these days and can be very disagreeable sometimes.  Every day he wants to pick out his food, shoes, books and pretty much everything else.  Some nights we have to go through 10 books before he will agree to read one.  And most days it is a battle to get him to wear anything other than his blue crocs!

Ethan still loves reading, music, and little people.  He also enjoys “cooking” in his kitchen and loves making “lettuce soup.”  He loves playing with his musical instruments and insists that mommy and daddy play a song with him several times a day.  He is also currently obsessed with The Laurie Berkner Band, or “tv show” as he calls it.  It is a DVD of songs and he is completely mesmerized by it!

We are trying to get Ethan excited about being a big brother.  We have been reading a lot of new baby books and talking about babies.  He is very interested in babies in general and will now say baby when I ask him what is in my belly.

Here are some pictures of our little darling.

Ethan kept saying “Emo meh” and we couldn’t figure out what he was saying, then he came in the kitchen and he showed us Elmo – with a mint in his mouth!

One of Ethan’s favorite things is riding the carousel (or neighs as he calls it).

Ethan loves playing with the horse stable playhouse at the library.
