He got a "half birthday cake" today and proudly proclaimed that it was his birthday. He is getting older, talking nonstop, and repeating everything until you agree with him or convince him to do something else.
He's finally started saying "yes" and "yeah" instead of "okay" - which is adorable, because he's growing up, and sad, because saying "okay" to everything made it seem like he convinced you to do something.
He's a tall thin reed - 2T pants fit the waist but are high waters. 3T and 4T pants are the right length but fall off or gather strangely when we tie or adjust the waist. It's safe to say that the short jeans are in his genes.
He is the world's best big brother. He cares if Hannah cries or "spills" (spits up). He wants to play with her and hold her. He loves entertaining her when she is crying - usually as we try to leave the house. He is well-trained at turning her sound machine on for naptime.
He's an amazing puzzle-maker, cleaner, and dancer; he brings so much joy to our lives. We miss him when we are without him overnight. He is so fun!
Ethan, you're a joy to us and we are so blessed to be your parents!
xo,
Elizabeth
