Our Little Guy - 1 yr. 1 mo.

Ethan was an active little boy throughout March 2014. He loved to ride Claire's old y-bike, play on the wooden rocking horse, and push anything he was able to. He learned how to say 'baby', imitate what a fish says, and was obsessed with playing in the refrigerator when it was open.

He was a smiley little boy at this age, but definitely knew how to throw a temper tantrum like I've never seen before. He would scream as loud as he could, flail himself onto the ground and kick his feet. The worst part was that nothing could be done to stop it once it began. So, I learned to plug my ears, walk away, and wait for him to calm down. Usually, that was quite a long period of time.

He loves to go down slides. This fearless boy will go down the tallest slide at the park with absolutely no hesitation. He thinks it's hilarious to be chased by someone and his raspy laugh is so freakin' cute!

Ethan doesn't really like to eat meat, he says "book a book a book a" to himself while wandering around the house, rocks against the pack 'n play while in his bed (which for me has sometimes created a fear of him being autistic), and puts his arms in the air when asked "how big is Ethan?". He has become very clingy (to me), loves to find ducks in all of his books, and during reading time (with me) he insists on sitting on my lap while I sit Indian style. Every day he brings us so much joy (and stress) and is becoming such a funny little guy. Love you Dude!
