Ethans Birthday!

We had a little family party for Ethan’s Birthday this year. Tyson decorated Ethan’s cake too, such talent! Branson has been living at our house, so he was there. Grandpa Ed had just stopped by and joined us as well.

Ethan is such a sweet boy, and we are so happy he is a part of our family. He is very shy and quiet, but underneath that he does have a very stubborn and strong personality. He can be quite a brute, but he takes criticism into himself and deals with it eternally. He loves to use his strength when he plays. So unfortunately for Isaac, Ethan wrestles him to the floor all the time! I am always so surprised with the different ways Ethan and Isaac go about doing things. They both love the same things but, Isaac will just use his hands and Ethan has to use his whole body. Isaac loves to be with new people; Isaac would rather be with his family. I love that they have come to an age where they love to be with each other (when they are not fighting!) and find new things to do. Ethan loves his Daddy; he has to be doing everything he does. He loves to cuddle both me and Tyson; he is such a cuddle bug! Ethan still loves his naps and will let you know when he it done and needs rest. Ethan has big growth spurts. He will eat everything in the house for a month when he is on a growth spurt. He also has discovered that he loves sushi this year, and so now I have to contend with him and Isaac when I make a sushi roll! I worry about how we are going to feed these boys when they are teenagers!

I love you Ethan Boy!
