20 Months Old Today!

Things Ethan LOVES at 20 months
  • His 2 blue blankets! He loves cuddling with them at night-night time. We can just see the delight in his face when he gets to see them again!
  • Music! We listen to music a lot around here! We definitely have to listen to it whenever we are in the car, and also when we are playing at home. However, he is usually so into listening intently to the music, he can't concentrate on playing or reading at the same time.
  • Food! Our child loves to eat. He loves peas, string cheese, apples, mac and cheese, cereal, toast with jelly, you name it he will probably devour it!
  • Going Outside! The first thing in the morning that Ethan wants to do is go outside - even when it is still dark at 6 am! He stands by the door and really has begging down to a science. He's hard to resist, but we at least wait until the sun comes up!
  • Playing "I'm Gonna Get You!" That game just never gets old. Just tonight we were playing and he was squealing with delight the entire time! Gotta love that sound!

Things Ethan HATES at 20 months

  • Holding Mom's Hand and Being Directed to Walk Somewhere Specific - he has a mind of his own and when we try to direct him he lets us know he is NOT happy. He definitely has his OWN agenda and places he needs to be!
  • Following Directions - This kind of goes along with the first item, but Ethan really has a stubborn streak to him . . . Hmmm . . . Which parent does he REALLY take after?
  • Sitting Still - Church = disaster - even when he is watching his movies he is usually standing up or walking around - Although I do have to say he will sit in his high chair if he has plenty of food available!

We love our little guy and can't believe he will be 2 soon! We just delight in him and love his little personality! He can be quite the comedian!
