Its Wednesday. At least its not Monday. Its FREEEEZING in Fayetteville. Ethan lets out a little "buuuh" when we walk outside. So, we can't play outside, its dark at 530, and its gettin on my nerves.

This morning, Ethan told me ALL about his night.



He LOVES to brush his teeth on his new stool.

And is finally sticking some veggies in his mouth on his own.

Happy Wednesday. E

Hey hey. Long time no post. We've been busy. Ethan got to ride his first WalMart Quarter Stealer on our way to Shreveport. He liked it just as much when it wasn't moving. Mental note taken. We finally got to MoMo's house, played in the yard, became Godparents to Julien Alexander, went to his party, met another kid named Ethan, got back in the car and came back home. It was a good trip.

Ethan still prefers 4 wheel drive over 2. He's making up for it all with his little new words that are popping up daily. Momo asked him "Did somebody push you?" and he pointed to his shoe. He's funny. He has also overgeneralized all things round to "ba!!" Tomatos, apples, acorns, actual balls,oranges, you name it. If its round, its "ba!!" and he has to hold it. He's got his signs down pretty well, but milk is starting to get mixed up with bye bye, and nap is getting mixed up with hat... he does add a little " haaa haaa" choking on a hairball kinda sound to the hat one...bath is getting mixed up with hug... BUT, we have a yes nod and a no shake, so after 8-10 questions, we understand EXACTLY WHAT HE'S SAYING. We're no picture of efficiency.

Other new tricks include throwing fits in stores (I was that mother... we had to leave), refusing anything thats not yogurt, and running away from diaper changes. We wouldn't have it any other way.

I have to go fix this kid some... um... yogurt. Talk soon. E

Loves his new Grover book from Eli. He's learned that cows say moooooooo.









I don't know what he was planning...oh and look... a christmas present that is STILL WRAPPED... we'll get to them all eventually. Now THAT is the meaning of Christmas...





He was a razorback fan on Jan. 1... he'll be a tiger fan tonight.

Here's a snippet of today:
Them (daycare): " Oh! we didn't know he could walk!"
Me: I didn't either.
Them: Well he just stood up today and walked across the room!
Me: Oh good... I missed it.
THem: Yeah!!! He walked all over the place today!
Me: Alrighty.. thanks, bye.
I have yet to see it. Perhaps this is his ultimate independence struggle to date... he's just fine to walk away from Ms. Daycare worker. Walking away from mama is a little more involved. Right? Yeah? Psychobabble. We hold him too much. He'll show us when he's ready. :) E
