I'm a big brother!

Hey everybody! Just thought I would let you all know how things are going...Did you know that I am a big brother now? I really love my little brother! I like to lay my head down close to him and pat him and say "AWWW". I would like to kiss and hug all over him, but mom says he's still too little and I might not be gentle enough.

Guess what? I'm walking now. It is soooo much better than crawling (and better for my knees!) although as fast as I try to go, mom and dad can still catch up to me. I'll have to work on that! Before they know it, I'll be able to outrun them!

Hmmm...what else can I say about myself? I know a lot of words, both in sign language and out loud. I can say MORE, PLEASE, MILK, THANK YOU, CRACKERS, EAT, NITE NITE, CUP, CAR, and of course MOMMA and DADA. I love to sing and dance (you should see my dance moves!) and my favorite songs are The Itsy Bitsy Spider, The ABCs, Old McDonald and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

I am an eating machine and I like to eat whatever it is mommy and daddy are eating (especially all of mom's toast in the morning). Mommy calls me here little monkey because I go crazy for bananas. I would eat one for every meal if I could - but mom and dad say it makes my diapers too stinky, so they only let me have one in the morning. I'm working on using a spoon and a fork - but I think I drive mom crazy with how messy I get. That's okay, because the more mess I make, the more baths I take and I LOVE BATHTIME!

Well - I've got to go for now. Chat with ya later! Love, Ethan
