Little bub is TWO!!

 I can't believe it's been 2 years since our little labor day baby entered our world and made us a family of 4! He is such a joy in our lives! He keeps us on our toes and makes us laugh everyday! Here is the lowdown on Little E at TWO YEARS OLD!

-Size 2-3T clothes and 8.5 shoes and around 33 pounds/37 inches. Big guy!
-Won't drink milk! loves yogurt and cheese
-Eats as much as or more than Ayden at every meal! Loves pretty much everything, his favorite foods are cheese, grapes, bananas, pancakes, mac and cheese, pickles (although he only gets about 2 a week), and well, pretty much anything else!
-Graduated to a full size bed 3 nights ago!
-Talking more every day and using some 2 word phrases "Daddy work?" and "Daddy home?" are 2 of his faves.
-When he sees something he likes/interests him, he says with high pitched voice, "Ohhhhhh..." like  in the tone of someone understanding something for the first time. So cute!!
-Just this week he has started saying "No". Up until now he just screamed if he didn't want something ;) No he screams NO! We are working on "no, thank you" :)
-Still 100% the toddler tornado. In the 2 minutes it took me to change over the laundry the other day he had dumped over a pitcher of koolaid and ripped open and spilled a box of macaroni all over the pantry. He also can open the fridge and get anything he wants, climbs up and stands on the tables and counters, and has been carried kicking and screaming out of various public venues. He. Is. A. MESS!!!
-Has adjusted very well to Mom's Day Out and has the best time! All the teachers comment on how sweet and friendly he is to everyone! He won't take a nap  there, but that's not much a surprise, he has always preferred his own bed!
-Naps 2-2.5 hours every afternoon (at home!) and sleeps 7-7 at night.
-Loves playing with big brother and anything that big brother loves, he loves too!(dinosaurs, superheroes, etc)
-Loves to "rough house" with daddy and brother
-Still plays with his belly button when he's tired :)
-Still loves his binky. He calls it his "Beeeee!" Maybe it will disappear soon. Maybe....
-Loves playing the animal sounds game on the iPad
-Loves watching Yo Gabba Gabba, Barney, Calliou, and Wild Kratts (The last 2 are Ayden's favorite shows, luckily Ethan loves them too!)
-Loves watching the trash truck on Friday mornings! He talks about it all day, standing at the window saying "taa tuck? taa tuck go?"
-Has a FIT to go outside and a FIT when he comes back in!
-Loves Choo-Choos! Got a new train bedroom and is having a train birthday party!
-Is a handsome, happy, smart, funny, lovable gift from God!

Happy 2nd Birthday Ethan Jeffrey! We love you SO much!!!
