Happy 1st Birthday, Ethan!

Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet little Ethan James! What an amazing year it has been watching him develop his own personality and bonding with his brother. Raising Ethan has been quite a different experience from raising Chase. Ethan is not afraid of anything and is into EVERYTHING. Was originally a very laid back baby but has now developed quite a little temper. He may be small, but he is tough and rough...ALL BOY and the bruises on my legs can prove it :-)

He has learned so many things in the past two months. Ethan can clap his hands, wave bye bye and play peek a boo. He loves to dance if you play music or sing to him and he has the best "evil/guilty" laugh I have ever heard. He blows raspberries all day long and even does it to put himself to sleep at night.

Ethan got his first tooth at 4 months and his 2nd tooth at 6 months. We thought he would have a mouthful of teeth by his first birthday, but no more have popped out yet (however, we think we see one of his top teeth about to pierce the gums). Ethan is no longer walking, he is RUNNING. He is so stinking fast and can pull out all of the garbage before you know it. He has kept his mommy and daddy very busy lately.

Chase and Ethan have become really good friends and it's been so heartwarming watching Chase fall in love with his little brother. He loves to make Ethan laugh and takes pride in helping me care for him. Chase has grown into quite the little gentleman.

Happy 1st birthday, EJ. We love you so very much!!! Love: Mommy, Daddy and Bubbie
