Ethan is saying a million new words!!! I'll list a few, but really, by now, he'll try almost any word you ask him to! Well, he'll usually get at least the first two letters, here. Door, me, teeth, sister (dit-da), keys, flower, bug, moon, boat, bed, peas, dog. And some of the ones that impress me the most- I LOVE when he says woah, its so cute!, he says Bell very clearly, as well as happy!, also turtle, ice…. oh and my mom taught him how to say 'I poop' ha, thanks mom. There have been a few times recently he's put two words together! Like bye dada, and 'all done wawa (water)' !!! Oh and we were at the doc, check up for Diella, and they were checking her hearing, asking her to say beep when she heard the beep. Well she wasn't very interested in cooperating with that, so I was showing her how, saying "Beep", then we all cracked up when we hear little Ethan shown his big sis how, he calls out "Beep!" HAAHHAA!
He's also doing a few new animal sounds. Like the sound for monkey, horse, and owl!
My last blog talked about the ABC books that he looks through, and how he's started to recognize & point out certain pictures to me. Well one night he did it with a TON of them all of a sudden! He's picking up on LOTS lately!
The other say he snorted when he laughed, HHAAAHA!
Ethan loves to play under things, like endtables n stuff… its s cute, like his lil hideout! Even the other day was plain under my bed! Fun!
I. Love. the way this kid walks. Its with such confidence & manliness! Ha! Chest out, stomps his feet a bit, and swings his left arm… it. is. adorable!
He loves bellies, huh! He loves to lift my shirt & poke my belly, and hug it, and even lately blow zerbets (or smurbs) on it! Then we found out its not just my belly, but anyone's… he does it to Ahna too! here, fun!
When Diella was around Ethan's age, and when I'd ask her to sing, out would come these two little notes, one higher one, then one lower one, back to back. Well now that we ask Ethan to sing… no joke… he does the SAME thing!!!!
These kids, even though sometimes they don't get along perfectly, one thing that i love is that when one is taking a nap, the other will ask for them. Diella asks for Ethan, and Ethan does the same when she's asleep. Aw! Like, "where's my play pal!!??"
Oh and this kid, quite the charmer he thinks he is, lemmie tell you! … he does this ADORABLE inflection in his voice when he says Hi, its kind of like 3 notes, goin up & common back down… well…. he's done it a few times when he's being told No. Its like "hm, if I sound cute, maybe I'll get out of trouble… Hiiiiiiiiii" haha
I was gone all day a while ago, shooting a wedding, and made it home before the kids went down for bed. Ethan greeted me with enthusiasm, as usual, and as I hugged him, and neither of us let go for a minute, I was swaying back and forth, us enjoying being with him… and he starts humming! like a satisfied, content, with his mommy tune…. wonderful moment!
Oh, and he has officially, just the past few days, gone from two naps to one. And then next week we start going without a binky. THEN after THAT... we're gonna put the kids in one room, so they get used to the idea before the baby comes. Lots of changes! Ah!
