19 Months!



Choo Choos!

Ethan loves climbing into the chairs at the table and having his snack like a "big kid"

Our newest toy- the vacuum cleaner!

Hanging out, eating snow

Looks like someone is ready for summer!

If I just shovel all of the snow in the yard, will spring come faster?

Ethan continues to keep us laughing!  At 19 months old, he is quite a little character!  He is extremely affectionate, and loves to just lounge around with us.  He is content to stay in his pajamas all day and play at home, but also loves seeing his friends at story time and playgroup and playing outside.  For the most part, he is a laid back guy! 

He is talking more and more.  His favorite phrase these days is, "Oh no!" It is the cutest thing because he says it with such passion.  He is talking a lot and trying to repeat whatever we say.  It's so much fun to be able to communicate with Ethan and have him communicate back.  We like watching the birds and squirrels outside on the feeders and when they go away, he looks at me, and holds his hands up and says,"All gone."  He is also loving music and has begun doing the hand motions that go along with particular songs.  His favorite is, "The Wheels on the Bus"  He loves to make the wheels go round, the wipers swish and the doors open and shut.  Such a big kid!

Ethan is making connections so often now.  The other day I had the vacuum cleaner out and he was eating cheerios.  He took his bowl of cheerios and poured them on the kitchen floor.  Then he went over to the vacuum cleaner, turned it on, and vacuumed up all of the cheerios!  Now whenever the vacuum cleaner comes out, Ethan needs to take a turn "cleaning".  He also remembers places and things that have happened.  For example, he fell off of a bench in the library last week.  Now, every time he sees that same bench, he points at it and says "boom boom" and "ouch".  Pretty adorable! 

We are anxiously awaiting spring.  We spent three hours outside one day this week.  Ethan played in the mud and snow, on the swing, and in the kiddie pool.  We are so ready for warmer weather and are so sad that we are getting more snow tomorrow! Spring has got to spring sometime, no?

On the bright side, I might be able to try out my new snow shoes during my visit this weekend....

What a brilliant idea to put the pool out for winter fun. Love it! I also love the connections they are making... I can't believe 19 months have already passed. Love this week's photos of Ethan - so adorable!
