Randomness

This blog is going to be full of random stuff but mostly, of course, Ethan. He's been such a little stinker lately. He's been getting all four of his first molars, which one finally broke through yesterday (YAY!!) which means hopefully the other three will come out soon and he'll be our sweet little guy again. He's also learned to count, sort of, and say go. He'll say "Two...two...GO!!" He was doing that the whole way home from Tara's tonight. It was so cute.

He's been into putting on shoes and walking wherever he can with them on. He always puts them on the right feet too. He mostly puts on my shoes though. Not sure why. Maybe they're easier to walk in...

The face definitely goes with the shoes ;)

These are Brian's shoes, not mine. I just loved the way he was posing.

Ethan decided today to rearrange our chairs in the kitchen. He took all the bar stools and moved them here. Then he started clapping for himself when he got done. I couldn't help but laugh and take a picture. He can be so cute sometimes.

He's also learned how to hug. He kind of just caught on one day and started to hug Abbi like crazy. He loves that girl to death. For the first few days, he would only hug little kids but now he's starting to give loves to me and Brian. I am eating it up too. I love it!! Now on to kisses :)

These two have too much fun together. I love it!!!

On to other random stuff, Brian finally fixed/finished our shower. I'm not sure if I've blogged about this before but our master shower hasn't work for more than a couple days since we moved in a year and a half ago. We showered in it for a few days at first then realized it was leaking. So Brian tried to fix it and it still leaked. He fixed it three times before he just ripped up the entire bottom of the shower to redo it all.

I was actually impressed with how fast he got it fixed. He usually takes a while on projects he's working on (ahem the mantel). He got this finished in about three weeks and we have showered in it for three days without any leaks!! I can't tell you how excited I am! And it looks really nice too. The grout looks funny in this picture because it was all wet from Brian's shower he just took.

I probably won't blog before Easter so I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and a Happy Easter! Oh, and enjoy this video. It shows how much fun these two have together. So funny!

Poor Ethan!

Pretty much the last two weeks, Ethan has been super cranky all the time. And really sensitive. He has some major teeth coming in, so let's hope they break through any second because he's driving me crazy!! He was okay at church today, which was good. Also, he has done really well with the time change. Its like it never happened. He wanted to go to bed at about 7:30, which yesterday was 6:30 because he did this...

See the fat lip and blood on his nose? It was SOOO much worse than this. This is the shot after I was done freaking out and we put him in the bath to get the blood off him. I was going to take the trash out and Ethan thought I was leaving so he wanted to go with me. He started to chase me really fast. Too fast apparently because he tripped on his own feet and totally face planted on our wood floor. I heard the snap of his fall and ran to get him. He had a hard time breathing, he was crying so hard. He had smacked his face on the floor so hard, both nostrils were bleeding and his whole mouth was covered and full of blood. I was trying to plug his nose to stop the bleeding but he was thrashing all over the place. He got blood EVERYWHERE. I mean everywhere. All over himself, me and Brian. Poor kid was in so much pain. His lip swelled up pretty fast. His mouth was bleeding but also he was getting blood in his mouth from his nose. It was disgusting/horrifying/sad. I finally was able to get his nose to stop so we put him in the tub to get all the blood off and he was happy as can be. Super ornery after he got out though. So needless to say, he went to bed early tonight.

What a happy kid. This is before his teeth started to come in:)

He has figured out how to use his ball as a seat. He has to push it up against the wall to get it to stay though. So smart!

Getting ready for bed. He loves to be all cuddle up, in a blanket with no mom :(

Brian thought it was funny to pull Ethan's pants way up, like an old man! It was.

And this is Ethan's favorite new place. He loves to hang out in our laundry room in one of the cubbies. He is such a stud. I love this kid!

Saddest Baby Ever!

So every morning, Ethan gets up and if Brian doesn't get him out of bed, he goes looking for his da da. This morning was no different, except there was no da da to find. Usually if Brian is already working when Ethan gets out of bed, the door to his "office" is shut. We dropped Brian off at my brother's house last night so that he could go to the airport super early this morning for his trade show. So no Brian. Well, when Ethan got up, he kept saying "Da da? Da da?". I started to take him to the kitchen to get some breakfast when he noticed the door was open. He got all sorts of excited because he thought dad would be inside. I put him down so he could check himself. When he first walked in the room, he was hopeful Brian was just behind something, ready to scare him. But when he searched the whole room and no dad, the water works began. It was the cutest sad face I have ever seen. He looked at me with huge eyes and bottom lip poked out. I told him da da had to go bye bye and he started wailing! The tears, the lip and his arms reaching for me almost got me going. I hate it when Brian is gone and now I have a baby who agrees with me.

What's going on in our lives

Isn't all that exciting. But it is busy. Brian is leaving for Colorado tonight for two days. I hate it when he's gone but he has a job, so who's complaining?? He's also really busy with his calling. He went on a trip a couple weeks ago, then had a camp out this last weekend. Then he's leaving this weekend, and has a camp out in a couple weeks. Not so fun but its good for him to be kept busy.

Ethan is being a little stinker lately, I think because he is getting some molars. His gums are super swollen back there and he's always chewing on the pointer finger of both hands. He has also learned how to feed himself. He is really good too. Brian taught him Sunday and he caught on really fast. He makes huge messes of course but gets most of the food in his mouth. Its so funny to see him become more independent. I am just so used to him needing me to do everything, its kind of nice not to.

I joined Gold's Gym and have gone two days in a row. I would go today but I'm not feeling all that great, thanks to being a woman. But as soon as I do, I'm going back. I feel really good the days I work out. And its kind of nice to leave the house for a half hour with no child. Other than that, our lives aren't that exciting. But I am super excited about one thing-Biggest Loser is back on! Yay!! Love that show :)
