Milestones

Ethan has been in his Big Boy bed for about 3 weeks now and is doing fabulous. I waited so long to move him over from his crib because I thought that he would always be trying to get out, but it is just the opposite. Ethan does great in his car bed. He has only fallen out once which was sad but pretty hilarious at the same time.
Ethan even helped his daddy move the crib bed up in anticipation of our new arrival. He was so excited to help Daddy that he got most of his tools out and started working on the crib too. It was very cute to see them working together.
Ethan is starting to climb everything on the play ground. It is fun to see him growing up that way. We go to the playground with Ethan's friend Coulson on the days that I don't have to work.
The boys love to swing on the bars above the slides and then slide down. It is fun to watch them be silly.

Ethan is also potty training. The first week was awful, but he is doing great now. I would have to say that potty training is not always the most convenient thing especially when the park locks the bathrooms and when we run lots of errands on my days off, but given those things he is kicking booty, and it will be nice to only have one baby in diapers.
We have also started to teach Ethan to say his personal prayers. It is so hilarious that it is hard not to laugh while he does it. He loves to bless everyone and everything, and when we finally get him to say amen, he asks to do it again. Hopefully his enthusiasm will continue through his whole life :)

Let the Season Begin

The Football season has begun and we are so happy that it is finally here. Aaron and I are playing fantasy football again and I am hoping to do well this season.

Aaron's Birthday was today. We gave him a new Broncos Jersey, had barbeque chicken tortillas, watched part of the Broncos vs. Bengals football game, watched Iron Man, and ate icecream cake. All in all I think he had a great birthday. Ethan loved celebrating with his daddy. Instead of saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Ethan says HAPPY DAY!! He gets so excited to say it that all day I would tell Aaron Happy Birthday just to hear Ethan say Happy Day.
Aaron wore his new jersey to his early meetings this morning. Everyone thought it was pretty hillarious.
Aaron was nice enough to let Ethan blow out his candles three times. Thanks Daddy.
Happy Birthday Aaron. We loved sharing your special day with you and hope to have many more.

Missing You!

My wonderful husband has been gone this week. He has been hiking the Grand Canyon with my Dad, and won't return until late Saturday night. The first couple of days were ok, but last night was not a good night. Usually when Aaron is out of town I can call him a million times during the day, but there is no cell phone service where he is so we haven't been able to talk all week. I have missed him very much. I know this is strange, but I felt last night like my heart was hurting. I guess sometimes you never know how much you really love someone until you can't see/speak to them anymore. So needless to say Ethan and I are very very excited to see him.


While Aaron has been gone Ethan and I have been keeping ourselves entertained. We have been going to parks, and playing with Coulson (Ethan's friend). We also went to see Lizzy today. Before Aaron left he introduced Ethan to the movie Star Wars, so this morning Ethan insisted on watching it. He was totally zoned out that I had to take a picture. Ethan is truely a mini Aaron, even though his daddy doesn't agree.
