Little Man's Birthday

Yep! It's official-my baby is no longer a baby anymore. Ethan turned the BIG Terrible 2 on Thursday. It doesn't take much to make a 2 year old happy.

He loved his "Vroom, Vroom" cake and kept sneaking in the fridge so he could look at it-though he didn't care much for eating it.
He kept saying "MMmmmm" as he was shoveling his favorite-mashed potatoes and gravy-into his mouth.
This is his soccer friend Levi who he runs around with. We watched him one day and Ethan and him were like little twinners. Levi was born three weeks earlier than Ethan so they are very similar in their likes, personalities, facial expressions etc.--well, except Levi can say complete clear words and sentences and Ethan still talks jibberish. He loves cars, Elmo, balls, his mommy (and her hair), wrestling his brothers and dad, and being his sisters play pet. He is a monkey and will climb up whatever he can get a toe hold on. He loves to eat hot dogs, eggs, mashed potatoes and chicken nuggets. His sippy cup filled with milk is like a crutch to him-I swear sometimes he might as well just have a bottle. He is the gatorade skifer at soccer games. It's really embarrassing when one of the boys teammates catches Ethan drinking out of their Gatorade bottle. He is a boy's boy!!! The crooked neck squash have become great guns-he loves to find bugs and man handle them or squish them with his fingers. He loves throwing rocks or running as fast as he can from his mom down the road. We love our Ethan and so grateful that he is a part of our family-stinker pot and all. Happy Birthday Ethan!
