Ethan turned 1!!!!

This was my absolute favorite picture. He is going all in!! What a wonderful year this has been. It went by way too fast! Ethan has been nothing but a joy for all of us. Yesterday we had his birthday celebration. My brother Bob and his family were able to come. Also My MIL, Ronalee and BIL Kasey. It was so much fun to have them all there to share this fun day.
We wanted to get in some good food before the cake. Ethan loves tomatoes. Once he saw the lit candle on his cake, he started blowing. He was so excited.

He was so excited to eat this cake. (First picture shows it all) :) Ethan grabbed right into the cake and would squish it through his fingers. We had cake everywhere. He even flung it on the walls and his brothers and sis!

Still eating

He ate the cake almost all gone. I couldn't believe it! He loved every bite.

We had Ethan open presents before the cake and he was getting sleepy and didn't know what to think of all the comotion. He was very sober and not very smiley.

Jason and I got Ethan this cute airplane.

He got a phone from Jaycee and a leapfrog magnetic toy from Bob and Janelle.

Jaycee was so excited about Ethan's birthday. She was the one making sure we did everything right. She wanted a party with all the family. She was there for every step of his special day. She even asked me to let her get him out of bed on his birthday so she could be the first one to wish him Happy BIrthday!!

I fixed up some Navajo Tacos for everyone to share. They were way yummy!!!

Kasey, Jaycee, Jake, Ellie and Kaleb.

I don't know what I would do if we didn't have Ethan. He is such a great baby. He has such a cute personality. Ethan started crawling at 11 months. He just had a doctor appt and he is 27 pounds (95%)and 31.25 inches long (85%). He is a big boy but the doctor said he is just right. Ethan can say, "Daddy", "Da da" , Ba-ba (bottle), uh oh, ccccc ca ca (when he doesn't like something) Everytime you say Poo Poo he will say ccccc ca ca. He always says, "whasat" (whats that) especially when he sees the screen saver of all our pictures on the computer. He says Mom but only when he is crying. He loves Dogs and when he sees them he says. "woof woof" He loves to say. "doo dah" a lot too. Jason has been calling him "doo dah" lately.

Ethan LOVES his Daddy and Mommy. He loves his blankie and bottle. Ethan loves to eat (especially our food). He will share if you say "bite" to him. He loves Elmo. He loves being outside and He LOVES Baths and playing in water.

Ethan is a very good boy. I am so lucky to be blessed with the sweetest kids. He is just as sweet as all of the rest of the kids have been. We love him so much. Happy Birthday to my little E!!!!
