The Dave Shirt

The Bruiser

Ethan, this month you have really been through the ringer. I must be a bad Mom for letting your hurt yourself so much. But recently you have giving yourself a black eye, along with numerous random bruises and your most recent one is falling into the railing in the living room and gashing your chin, upper lip and gums. Is this a peek at what I am in for being your Mom? You are so much like your Dad already. Constantly I am asking him, why are you bleeding, where did you get that cut. I better keep the first aid kit fully stocked.

You have also leared how to scream recently. It is cute and annoying at the same time. I love to hear you exploring your voice, but at the same time it is a screaching sound, like nails on a chalkboard!

We had our first campfire not too long ago. We sat by the fire with our friends the Strebels. You and Sawyer loved the hammock. You guys thought you were such big boys. You ate your first S'more. Of course you loved it and then you were wired.

I have been thinking about day care for you. But I just can't bring myself to do it. Number one, I will miss you terribly. Secondly, the swine flu freaks me out a little and there are germs all over the place at day cares. But it will happen someday. You are such a Momma's boy, but lately you have been becoming a Daddy's boy too. It is so cute to see you reach out for him. We of course love having you home with us ever day, so don't get too excited to go hang out at day care.

Soon we are going to see all of your cousins and Aunts in OH. And of course "G". She can't go long without seeing you that is for sure.

We are so ready for you to walk. You are so close, but now you know that crawling is easier and you don't fall. So you have given up on trying to walk. Soon you will be walking hand in hand with us and we can't wait. We love you more and more everyday, if that is even possible. You are becoming such a companion and we look forward to each and every moment spent with you.
