Eleven Months Old Already!

So I thought in the spirit of Christmas I would give you a little 11 month update on Ethan in the form of a familiar song. (The 12 Days of Christmas if you can't figure it out. Silly I know, but hum the tune in your head and let yourself get in the Christmas spirit just a little.)

The 12 Update Facts of Ethan:

12. Hours a night sleeping

11. Be nice to Max reminders (per hour)

10. Da Da Da Da's (O ma ma ma ma's mind you)

9. Steps by himself he's taking

8. Digital pictures mommy's snapping

7. Temper Tantrums

6. Central and Lateral Incisors (teeth)

5. Diaper Changes

4. Snacks a day of Gold Fish

3. Feed myself meals

2. Daily Naps (for 2 hours each yipeee!)

1. Happy Toddler Most of the time

Anyway that pretty much sums up what Ethan is doing now except that today he started signing "More" and "All Done" while he was eating. Hopefully we can keep this up and maybe lessen the out bursts he has when he wants something. (Hey a mom can hope right?)

It has been 11 months since Ethan was born and I continue to be amazed by all of the things he is doing. He is such a little ball of energy and we have so much fun with him. In the last month I think the new thing that Ethan has taught me, is to have patience with the mom at the groccery store with the full cart of grocceries and a child screeching at the top of his lungs because sometimes its ME!

I love this little guy more than I can say, and thank God for him every day!

Come on mom this is NOT a real Turkey

I'll ripe your stuffing out you silly bird!!

I love setting up the Christmas Tree!

As you can see Ethan is a little more steady now, but he still

doesn't want to walk unless someone is there to catch him.
