Ethan Turns One!

This last month has just been amazing. About a week ago Ethan starting saying "bye... or buh". My grandma taught him it so he says it when he answers/hangs up the phone. Now he says it when someone leaves. He's so smart. He LOVES blueberries very much right now and he likes carrots, but not broccoli or cauliflower. He also obsessed with his gigglebellies. He says movie everytime he sees the computer or when he wakes up and wants to watch on my phone. I want to try to get him away from that because at 1 I don't want him addicted to tv, but it's hard because now he's able to sit in his little bass pro shop lawn chair and watch tv and just stay there so I can get stuff done in the kitchen. This is NEW! and exciting! But at what cost? But maybe I'm being too hard on myself. I do need to get stuff done afterall. Anyway, his birthday was yesterday and there was a huge turn out (like 37 people!). So much better than the turnout for his baby shower! I guess people can't resist a tractor/country themed party. He had a Gluten free strawberry cupcake to celebrate. I think the party was a little much for him because he was very clingy and wouldn't let me put him down. Maybe he just wasn't used to so many people in his space. I think i'll go a little smaller next year, with just my/his closer friends. He got a water table which he loves, from his Auntie Kristen & a firetruck which he really loves too from our good friends in Wes' MOPH chapter, Eileen & Dan. He has his 1 year well baby appointment tomorrow afternoon so I'll be able to post growth stats. :) He also does this super cute thing when he's listening to music he sways his index fingers around like he's conducting & he will point at you and smile from far away, like he's calling you out. He's so silly and I love him! xo
