Easter and Spring Break

So I forgot my camera on Easter sunday when we went to Grandma and Grandpa Cooks house for dinner and the first egg hunt so I tried to capture the "egg hunt" at our neighborhood egg hunt. However Ethan had to wait and wait and wait till the people in charge said "Go" so he lost interest and then when it was time he was just mad and grumpy. (It was around nap time too) Here's what I got:

Attempt two at the "egg hunt" went a little better. When we got home I put some of his eggs on our front yard and got a happier version of him. Next Easter I'll remember my camera the first time.

My sister, Kathryn and her kids came to visit for 4 days during their spring break. It was a quick but very fun visit. To see what we did check out her blog http://www.knatfam.blogspot.com/ because I once again forgot my camera. Thanks for coming and taking pictures Sis!

New Words

Ethan has been talking a lot more. He always says car and choo choo. He likes cars and trains so much that he even spotted them in the store on his new pjs.

He likes to say the parts of his body. Usually he gets them all right. Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, teeth, head, fingers, toes, knee, and belly. We are still working on the rest.

Also we had another weight check. He's 21 lbs 5 oz. Even though he had an ear infection and croup last month he still gained 5 oz. What a relief! We didn't loose any weight while he was sick!

Sleepy?

I know I haven't posted anything in awhile and I thought this was pretty funny. Enjoy!

We just got back from playing at the park (it was a warm day upper 50's) and we were enjoying some chocolate pudding. He was watching Disney's Cars. I don't know if he was tired or something was wrong with his eyes or he was just really into the movie. Either way it was pretty funny.

New Words and Ouchies

Ethan says some new words including: cracker, cookie, cheese, snack, stuck, no way, up, uh-oh, ga-ga, and pa-pa.

Also I'm learning that having an active boy means dealing with more ouchies. For example yesterday he got 2 ouchies within about 15 minutes of each other. The first he tripped over a toy and landed on a lego block (the underside of the block) so he has a cut the shape of a circle on his right cheek. The other ouchie he fell off the toilet. He likes to climb on the toilet to get onto the bathroom counter and this time he slipped and hit his left cheek/jaw on the toilet which left a little bruise. Poor boy. Usually his ouchies aren't that big of deal and don't leave any marks. It's all part of growing up ...right?

19 Months

I have exciting news! Ethan finally pasted the 20lb mark. Hip Hip Hurray! He is 19 months and now weighs 20lbs 13 oz! He has gained 1lb 2 oz in a month! That's really exciting because its taken 7 months to gain 3lbs. He has another weight check next month so hopefully he'll continue his growing trend, but in the meanwhile more Pediasure and more baby food here we come.

Just For Fun

I thought I would post some videos of Ethan doing some of his favorite activities

Basketball....

Watching Little Einsteins.....

He pats along with the show and then raises his hands and says "Go!"

It's REALLY Cold When...

....when you wake up to let your dog out and her water bowel looks like this...

The ice-sickle (sp?) was 9 inches long and 7 inches tall from the highest point. Crazy!
