Ethan �
Hey little guy! I can�t believe you�re 19 months old already!! You have changed so much since my last letter. First, you�ve mastered walking and have almost mastered running! You have a cute little run � I�m not sure you actually bend your knees, but it works. Stairs are no match for you. I always make you turn around and scoot down on your belly, but you prefer to walk down the stairs (which scares me). You�ve fallen down the stairs more times than I care to remember, but that hasn�t stopped you. You are very independent. In fact, you hate holding hands and hate being carried. You would rather walk on your own.
You�ve started cuddling more and more, which makes me happy! There�s actually been a couple of times where you�ve napped while I�ve sat in the rocking chair holding you. This never happened when you were a little baby! I love it!
You�ve been signing for some time, but now you�re actually starting to talk and you have the cutest little voice! So far you�ve said -ball (1st word), Mama, Dada, thank you (so cute), more, cracker, apple, car, truck, yes and Elmo (all the time) and your two favorite words as of this week � NO and MINE! Oh the fun we are having!
As for interests � you love books, Elmo, blocks, cars, trucks, and trains. I love that you bring me books and want me to read to you. Again, something I missed out on the first year - you never wanted me to read to you!
Your eating habits haven�t really improved since my last letter. You are picky � fruit (apples, oranges and berries), hotdogs, plain crackers and milk�Oh and ketchupJ. Those are the only things you will eat consistently. You�ll eat pizza about 90% of the time and chicken nuggets maybe 50% of the time. Please, please, please start eating. You�re stressing me out and you�re cranky when you�re hungry.
You are a daddy�s boy most of the time, but you do have your mommy moments! As far as your personality, I�ve always said you are more like me. You want what you want when you want it. You�re high strung most of the time and relaxed only some of the time. You�re OCD about some things, like closing doors and shutting draws ( I can�t even unload the dishwasher around you). You�re a morning person like I am � although, please know, it is OKAY to sleep in on the weekends! You do not need to wake up between 6-6:30am on Saturdays or Sundays- 7am is early enough! You are an adorable little guys and I love you and your brother more that you will ever know.
Love,
Mommy
