The Pride of Being a Parent







Well Ethan, what can I say other than you are so freaking perfect. We fall in love with you more and more each day. It seems I start out each blog entry with how busy we are. But you are really a busy kid. This past month you have been busy growing as well! You have been on the verge of walking all month long. You learn new sounds each day and you love they way your teeth feel in your mouth. You have four of them now, two on the top and two on the bottom. Thankfully, you have stopped grinding them together. That really got on Mommies nerves! You have also learned how to blow spit bubbles. It is super cute even though it is kind of gross at the same time. I think you have learned that I am Momma and you know what Daddy means too. You are starting to call me Momma too. Daddy and I play with you each night and try and get you to walk. You are doing so good! When you took your first few steps I was watching and it was the most rewarding moment to date of being your Mom. The way you play right now is so cute. You are actually playing with your toys instead of just banging on them and eating them.






We traveled to see G and all the rest of the Ohio family. Your cousins thought you were so cool. It was so neat watching you interact with thim. I wish we lived closer. But I know you will be so close with all of them. We went to see G in Cleveland and she gave you your first piano lesson. You need some work, but I definitely see some potential. You were there for Maggie's birthday party, and that was fun. You love grass. Which is weird because I hate it, it makes me itch. You were amazed with it, how it felt and how it tasted as well.






You are Daddy and I's little best bud, we take you everywhere and you are so well behaved. Please keep that up, ok? You are so good at restaraunts, we are so lucky. It is hard for us to be away from you even for a few hours. We finally found a great babysitter for you and we don't want to leave you!






You and your buddy Sawyer are really becoming the cutest! I think you two finally know who each other are and are so comfortable around each other. You went to your first birthday party ever, Sawyer's party of course! It was so much fun. There was a ball pit, a pool and a water table. Of course you were busy flirting with all the pretty girls to pay much attention. You take after Daddy already!






Soon we will be taking you on your first sailing adventure. Daddy and I can't wait to get your sea legs growing! I know you will love it. And you will have your buddy Sawyer there to keep you company when Mommy and Daddy and Auntie Holly and uncle Geoff are drinking rum.






Soooo, obviously you are the light in our life and we swoon over you each and every day. Can't imagine how you are not going to be a spoiled little brat. But, you are pretty awesome and I know you will stay that way no matter how spoiled you are.
