Ethan Turns 2

Wow, 2 years already gone! I can't believe how fast he's grown. It's amazing the difference in development over the last year. Since his first birthday, Ethan can now walk, talk, drink from a cup, color pictures, help dress himself, knows when he needs his diaper changed, help brush his teeth, and many, many more things. Ethan is very independent and is a big goof ball. He has such a silly, lovable personality.

Tiffany and Mark came to visit for Labor Day weekend, so while they were in town we threw Ethan a birthday party a week early. The party was a "Cars" theme. Ethan loves the Disney movie Cars and loves, loves, loves to play with cars. Or I should probably say anything with wheels. Cars, motorcycles, trucks, you name it. Anyway, we invited over family and friends to the house and celebrated Ethan. He got a lot of gifts! Mostly clothes, which he needed. He also got a basketball hoop and some Lego type of toys. We also bought him a Power Wheel. Something Gene and I always wanted as a kid. He got a tractor Power Wheel. We bought if off the classified ads for a great price. The cake was delicious. White cake with raspberry filling. Mmm! I'm not sure if Ethan understood that the party was for him, but I think he enjoyed it anyway.

People weren't kidding when they say kids grow fast! It truly blows my mind that he is already 2. It is so fun to watch him learn and grow. He is an amazing kid!
