Ethan is 2!

*oops I started this on January 21st but forgot to post it!*

I can't believe our little boy is two today! Here are some things we love about him:

When we tell him "te amo" before he goes to bed he always says "mamo" back at us.

He is too smart for his own good and we have learned the Ethan-proofing is much more extensive than child-proofing.  He finds new ways to get into trouble every day.

He is learning new words every day.  We are amazed at how quickly he is picking them up now.

He says "hereitis" likes its one long word when he finds a toy or book he is looking for.

He knows the almost all the letters of the alphabet.

He loves trains, he can spend hours playing with his train track.  He has a train DVD which he loves to watch but he also loves to stare at the DVD cover.  He sometimes takes the DVD cover to bed with him!

He loves to sort things.  His trains are always sorted by type, engines, coal cars, passenger cars and freight cars.  He also has a toy that he sorts by shapes, star, triangle, circle, square but not the hearts.  He always throws the hearts on the floor!

His favorite movie is still Finding Nemo or as he calls it "Namo" He also like Tomas the Train, he say it with a Spanish accent, ToMAS.

His face lights up when he sees a hershey kiss, we already know what reward to give him when we start potty training him!

He loves to inspect things, sometimes I swear he is reading the instructions off of packages

He is sneaky. The other night he kept turning on the light in his room which he can't reach on his own. Whatever he was using to stand on he put back where it belonged after the light was on.  We had to take several objects out of the room before the light stayed off for good.

He loves Lilly. He sits on the couch with his arms outstretched to hold her. He holds her hands all the time and gives her head butts (his version of a kiss) with a loud "mwuah"

He loves to run laps around the house.  He can seriously run thirty or more laps without stopping before going to bed.

When he sees a camera he says "cheese" but without smiling. If we tell him we are taking a picture he makes a point not to look but will still says "cheese"

He is a very handsome little dude even with the constant bruises he has from running into things or falling.  He is sporting a black eye at the moment from a run in with his toddler bed headboard.

He loves to hide in our closet and when you open the door he has the best laugh.

He folds his arms before eating to pray (sometimes reminding us!) and loudly proclaims "men" when the prayer is over.

We love our little guy and are glad he is part of our family!
