Some Cute Things Ethan's Been Doing Lately

It amazes me how fast Ethan is learning, and to see his sense of humor develop is so much fun!
Some things he's been doing lately:
  • Running around with his eyes closed and laughing hysterically when he bumps into things
  • Learning the names of all of the animals in his Noah's ark and retrieving them when asked. He also brought me Noah the other day and said "No No" (definitely meaning "Noah", not the opposite of Yes!). If you ask him to put the animals in the ark, he'll follow the instruction.
  • He loves off-limits items like remote controls and cell phones. If you walk into the room and he has a remote control, he'll run with it in his hand with his arm outstretched to give it to you (as though his intention all along was just to bring it to you, not to play with it himself ;)
  • If you tell him "No", he'll generally stop doing what he's doing and stay where he is. However, if you tell him a firm "No", he will do an abrupt 180 and start running away from whatever he was making mischief with. It is so cute and funny to see his quick reaction in turning around and speeding away from whatever got him in trouble!
  • He now also knows the body parts: belly, ears, head, fingers, nose, and mouth. His favorite is still toes though.
  • His absolute favorite food is Gerber puffs-He'd eat a whole can if you'd let him
  • While we were in Oklahoma City, I brushed his hair and set the hairbrush down on the floor for a moment. He grabbed it and started brushing his own hair (with the brush flipped over so that the bristles were pointing out instead of down into his hair). It was adorable, and he was so proud of himself for "brushing" his own hair!

We are very familiar with the remote control/cell phone trick.
