15 months

Ok, Finally have a picture. This is Ethan tonight on the swing at my sisters house. Its hard to get a smile on camera these days.. I got this one thankfully!

I can't believe Ethan is getting so big!!!

Ethan's been doing so many fun things these days.

Examples- Asking me to clip his nails?

Asking to read his all time favorite book, Nutsy the robot

Pushing my head up with his hand to make me see the speakers in the store playing music

Saying a whole slew of words- car, all done, church to name a few

Bringing me the elephant puzzle piece and making the elephant noise-Um so cute!

Signing apple, more and to eat

Pushing himself on his bike

Asking to put on his shoes every morning or whenever his shoes are seen and not on him

Loves the playground. We used to take a good walk everyday and go to playground after but its too hot these days : /

Loves to play daddy's guitar and anything electronic

Makes the vroom vroom noise when pushing his cars

Wow! This last few months have been fun! Ethan is growing and learning a ton! Its so fun as a parent to see him blossom into a little human being :)

He's also been hitting and trying to bite and tantrums galore but all have gone down quite a bit these days.(Fingers crossed!)

He has learned a new talent from Nursery, screaming! We did our new callings as primary teachers of 7and 8 year olds and he was screaming a lot of it. I think he's used to being in me with nursery and playing with the toys the last hour... Well Matt ended up in the hall alot of it but that's ok.. I'll be honest, I am not ready for Ethan to be in nursery so it will take us a while. Until then we'll make it work.

In other news! ... Our AC went out Tuesday night and Wed morning had a guy from my ward try to see what he could do. It was a bigger job and he called his brother to come help us out. Long story but its still not fixed. Lesson learned! Call around when dealing with your AC!!!! Um, we aren't getting one until Tuesday. Its been a huge stress on us and its not really fun when the electricity goes out the next day as well! To say the least this week has been hard on us BUT we are surviving.

Matt's still working at GCU and at Collins teaching 2 classes. He is such a great father and husband! Having him gone hasn't been easy but in the long run we'll be far ahead of where we would have been. He's doing an amazing job juggling it all! Love you babe!
