Again Thanks for coming over we had a great time!!
Moving on to Ethan’s doctors appt. Things went well I think. I am sure many of you read my other post about my struggles. I brought those up to the doctor last week when we were there. My mom came with me because she watches him alot and knows. She did referred me to a specialist to see about the Sensory Integration. She doens’t believe he has it, and the way she put it I don’t think he does either. But I think she did it to put my mind at ease. I think we are going to put it off as he just isn’t going to be a good eater EVER and he is 2 yrs old!! We will see what happens when we have the appointment.
Ethan showed her all of his little tricks he can do….(she always says he is the smartest 2 yr old in her practice…hehehe) He drew his circle for her and counted some. He can count 1 to 10…only when he wants to..LOL
He really is a smart little boy…just has his own little ways set.
It may be me that needs to change and just go along with what he does….it is hard for me to do when I see other 2 year olds eating just about ANYTHING. But I realize not all kids are the same. As for the potty training she said to not even worry about it….I said OKAY!! I won’t push it. I introduce it to him every now and then and that is it.
His stats are:
27lbs, 35 3/4 inches and 19 in head circum.
He is into 24 month clothes. He has always done really well with staying with his age size in clothes. It has always been right one. Well except in the summer time….he goes back a couple sizes to make them fit right!

How awesome is this???? I know not many of you think your child eating an apple is cool…for me…it is…he ate jsut about the whole apple. This is progress people!!

We had a great time at Ethan’s birthday party on Saturday. There was lots of family and friends there to celebrate with us. It is late so I am not going to say much. The pictures will have to tell the story for now.

Okay I am back now….LOL
Ethan loves all his presents and Thanks everyone.

The lovely cake was made by Sweet Cakes Design LLC. She did a fantastic job. Totally will use her again! How adorable is this cake. I LOVE it!! I was soo excited when my mom brought it over…(the cake place is right down the road from my mom and on her way here she jsut stopped for me and got it.) I just love how it turned out. It was perfect…not to mention that it tasted fabulous!! Thanks so much Barb!! I appreciate it. You will definately get all my referrals!!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY ETHAN!!

November 20, 2008

Getting weighed....7lbs...1oz...21in
I can’t believe my baby is 2 yrs old now. 2 Yrs ago today I becme a Mother. Something I have always wanted. ANd now I have this precious little boy to love. He is so special I can’t even put it into words. I just love him so much. Never thought you could love someone so much.
That day was a tough day. The birth and leading up to his birth did not go as I had planned. None of it. Which is okay…because I had a healthy child.

just minutes after ethan was born This picture was just minutes after having him. I know I look horrible…but what do you expect, I just had a baby…LOL
I was so tired because I had not slept at all the night before. I had ethan at 5:05pm. And then labored the whole night before and that day…I was tired.
Daddy holding his son

I love this picture of Ethan and Josh….such a special memory for me to see Josh holding him and so happy!

Hours old
My sweet precious boy….so innocent.
What happened? hahaha he grew up!
But I am glad to be able to remember these moments.

11 days old

I totally love this picture of him at 11 days old. I know his eyes look a little cross-eyed but I still think it is precious. The blanket he is on is one that my mom made out of that minky and has Pooh on the other side. It is soooo soft..I love it.

11 days old

Another sweet picture of him. I love looking back at all his baby pictures just to remember how small and sweet he was. I am glad that I have so many pictures to remember these precious days. (over 10,000 in his first year, rediculous I know)

2 months old

This is Ethan at 2 months old. I totally love his smile. Just makes your heart melt.
4 months old
He was always so bald. I loved it.

I love when he would grab his toes…just adorable.

6 months
He truely didn’t like to sit in the grass at all…that’s why he has that look. He was not happy…a second after this picture he was screaming. hehehe…Am I mean? He is 6 months old in this picture…=)
12 months
Then jumping to 12 months old….he looks like such a little man…crazy what 6 months can do!!
16 months

16 months old….growing so fast into a little man…by this time he had such a little personality…oh boy!!
23 monthsI can’t believe he is 2
years old. I had to throw in this silly picture because that is how he is most of the time…silly. He has grown leaps and bounds….talking so much…and clear as day…he amazes me everyday.

Like today…he gets up to the kitchen table…we have a pub style table…so I helped him….we put his Bumbo seat on the chair so he can reach….he says..”I’m hungry!” I said “Okay, What would you like to eat?” Clear as day he says, “I want some cereal.” I was like…okay I will get your cereal…it was sooo cute. I will have to show you the picture of him at the table…it is cute..I am thinking the high chair is out now.

eating at the table..

He is sooo darn cute. LOL…I know I always say that…but I am his mom I am allowed to.

I will post pictures from his party. It is on Saturday! Oh here is the invite…I thought it turned out cute!!
