Ethan is 15 Months!



Yesterday Ethan turned 15 months!


What's New:
Ethan's gotten really good at following direction.  The other night he was playing with a toy and since it was time for bed, I asked him to put it away.  Not expecting much I was so surprised when he put it back where he got it.  And yesterday, he picked up a crumb on the floor and put it in the trash.  Amazing I tell ya!  We've also gotten him to blow kisses {which is very familiar to thank you in sign language...}


Wears:
We've officially moved to 18 month jammies, but he's still fitting in his 6-12 month jeans.  Everything else is 12-18 months.  OH and he's still a shoes size 3...


Eats:
While we still rely pretty heavily on hearty purees, Ethan is starting to adjust more and more to pastas and other solids.  He also loves avocado and fruit.  


Teeth:
I think we have a total of 6 now...with more on the way.  The second two have popped out on his upper left hand side.


Talks:
Lots of baby babble but some decipherable words, a new one being "up".  He can mimic the sounds of what we say, but it's more inflection than actual words.  He also can sign more, please and thank you.  Smart boy!


Loves: 
Ethan loves pushing buttons and seeing what happens.  He's very mechanically inclined.  He also grabs for the door handle {and is dangerously close}.  Another thing he loves is sweeping, vacuuming or some combo of both.  We really need to get him a play vacuum.  He would love it!  He still loves his music and pretty much dances anytime he hears it, whether on the radio or commercial.  He just can't help by feel that beat!


Another new "love" is his blankie.  Every morning when he wakes up, he insists on taking it with him and drinking his morning bottle with it.  Sweetest thing ever!


Hates:
Ethan hates having anything taken away from him...like it becomes a total melt down scenario.  


Goes:
It's been nice that we've gotten to stay put this last month.  Ethan enjoys getting outside more and more...which sadly won't be much of a reality once the snow hits.  It's been SO cold these last couple days...but it doesn't seem to phase him.


And of course, anywhere Wilson is...you're sure to find Ethan close behind!  ;)

  1. We just ordered Noah the play dyson vacuum and I can't wait for it to arrive. He still stares when we vacuum and I never know if he will cry so I hope having his own will help.

    Ethan is so cute and I love all the standing and walking pictures. He looks like such a big boy now!

  4. He's looking like such a big boy! Isn't this age just the best?? Your mind will be blown how fast he sponges everything up, it's incredible! And such little feet!! As 4s are all right but 5s are too big, we have major shoe dilemmas here, just ordered 2 pairs with two more on the way hoping some will work!!! Girls and shoes I tell ya!!

  5. He could not be any cuter!!! My kids have always had small feet. At least they were able to wear the same shoes for a long time! Let's hope he continues to like cleaning. Major score there!

  6. He's so cute!!! I am still amazed at how similar our boys are. Clothes are a struggle right now because the 6-12 month pants are too short, but the 12-18 are way too big in the waist! Overalls have been our BFF lately!

    Isn't it amazing to watch them learn? I love that he is following directions...it makes things so much more fun (and easier sometimes)!

    Happy 15 Months, Ethan!!

  25. Isn't it so neat seeing them 'get' things..?! Like completely understanding what you're asking/saying to them?! Smart boy. We're right there with you and the melt downs if you take something away too - thankfully we've been able to re-direct that attention pretty easily. Hoping it's a phase that passes.. :) Cute boy - I need to get to Target and get those shoes, love 'em!!
