Our little family

Once again I lost my info

Ethan is almost 2 years old. He is doing great and growing like a weed (but cuter). He has been learning so much in the last few months that it blows my mind to watch my baby grow intelligence. He was slow to start and I was worried about that, but he seems to be catching up. He has started the NOOO phase and knows what he is saying NO to.lol. When he would hit or throw a tantrum I put him in time out. I was surprised it only took 3 days of holding him in time out for 1 minute for him to learn that he has to stay in time out the whole time. Now I can sit him in time out and he will stay there the whole time. Of course that didn't stop the tantrums though. Does anyone have a secret to get those to stop?

Tyler and I are doing great and love what we have in life. I have lost all the baby weight and love it. I got sick for about 2 months in June due to some medication I was put on that caused liver damage. Everything is healed now but it was not a fun road to go down. My mom was a life saver; she came down here for about a week to help me with Ethan. It was hard to get out of bed some days and contently feeling sick. I am happy to have all my energy back and not feeling crappy all day long.

We are in the processes of looking to buy a house and getting all the paper work in and going. We have found some good ones and in our price range. There is one I LOVE but I think a million dollars is out of our price range, a girl can dream, right? I have been trying to find a hobby that doesn't take a lot of time and doesn't test my patience's, so far no luck.

We have gone back home 2 times this year and have one more trip to make in December for Christmas and can't wait. A lot of family is coming up here for Ethan's birthday party on Nov. 19th so excited for that.

Final got in

For the longest time I have been unable to remember my login info. One day I just remembered it.

Ethan has turned One and it went by way to fast. I am not ready to lose my little baby(although he weighs 28.5lbs and is 33 inches long) so I guess not to little now.

I went to see Traci and my nieces and nephews for the first time in Indiana, it was a blast. I got to know my sister again. I haven't lived with her since I was about 16 years old and I only got to see where here and there over the years. So it was very nice to just be able to sit down and talk to her. I loved hanging out with my nieces and nephews and they are a blast of fun. Tabitha and Ethan has so much fun together. Ethan had a lot of fun crawling around after his cousins and followed them around everywhere. He slept great while we were there, it was a nice treat.

That was his first plane ride and I really don't want to do it again until he can seat in the airplane seat. LOL. It was a long flight but SO worth it.

Tyler, Ethan and I are coming home for Christmas and can't wait. I can't wait for everyone to meet Ethan down there!

Here are some pictures of Ethan.

More at Kelli's 7-9-10

We went to Kelli's again yesterday and I took the camera that I like. So the pictures came out better.

Went to Kelli's again.

Ethan has been enjoying going to his cousins. He has fun playing with everyone there. Here are some pics from our trip. Ethan just needs to learn that it is ok for mommy to leave the room.
