Mum started doing this thing called 'work', and she takes me with her. That was great deals of fun in the beginning... I get my own play area, and a whole bunch of new uncles to play with. I stay in Mum's 'office' with her while she does this 'work' thing. I have to be honest...I don't know why they call that room her 'office'... really it's mostly my play area with my TV and my DVD player...and then she has this big structure thing that she calls a desk with bunches of stuff on it. She does a lot of writing, and talking on the phone, and telling her 'boss' (aka my uncle EJ) what to do. But it's been nice going there with Mummy, and everybody who comes loves me - or so they say. :-) By the way... Uncle EJ says to come on down and buy a nice used car! Just come to EJ Auto Sales, LLC in Derry, NH or call at 603-425-2000. Tell 'em that Mummy sent you. I guess she gets some money...and then she buys me stuff with it.
I walk and talk now like nobody's business, and I'm even starting to run a bit! I like it when I have a long hallway to run in! I like to 'go fast' but soon I get tired, or I trip on my feet. Look, my Mum's not too coordinated either so I come rightly by the whole tripping thing. I'm getting pretty good at doing the 2-3 word sentences now. I can say things like:
Here he is
I love you (tubby, towers, mummy, daddy... but that's just mimicking)
I see it
I want that
help, help, help (yeah, I realize it's the same word 3 times but I thought it would count)
I'm getting really good at stacking things and at climbing things. I can climb up on one of my little chairs at Mums office and then climb right into the middle of her desk!! I think she LOVES that cuz she always says something like: OH MY GOD, Ethan! whenever I do that. Yeah...she's totally impressed with my skillz!!
I have really good eating skills now too! I can rock a fork and spoon like nobody's business, and I totally get the whole bite and chew thing! I'm getting more teeth so that may be helping, or maybe it's the weekend I spend with my cousin Conner. WOW... he can do TONS of stuff! And I learned a lot from him while I was with him too, and now I wanna be just like Conner... all spiffy with the jumping and running around and stuff like that. 'Sides, he's just good fun to spend time with.
Besides going to work and having spent time with Conner, I also got me a groovy new friend! Her name is Ashleigh, and Mum and Dad call her a babysitter. But I just love to rock out with her! We play all kinds of cool games, and go outside, and dig in the sandbox (and the stone dust patio sometimes); we play hoops, and blocks, and draw with chalk; and she watches me slide down my slide & she tries to teach me to wipe the dirt off my bum (but I usually forget that). She is loads of fun & I really, really like her!
Last week Daddy, Mummy & I went to Washington DC. Daddy & Mummy say that I'm a born traveler and they think that's cool cuz I guess they like to fly on planes and junk like that. I loved flying on the plane, and I heard some people saying they didn't like something called 'turbulence' but all I felt was bouncing... and I LOVED it! That plane would bounce, and I would giggle and laugh! I thought it was lots of fun to fly and I didn't even mind waiting in the airport for the second flight on our trip down or back. It was all an adventure to me! And when we were there...guess what happened??? My Uncle Cliff and Auntie Kammy showed up!! They live in CT -- it's a long way from Washington DC. I know they said it was their anniversary weekend...but I really think they just came to see me. They loves me a lot! But Mummy and I got to go see some really cool stuff with Auntie & Uncle one day in DC while Daddy was working at his conference. I wish Daddy could have come with us, but we had a really, really good time and I can't wait to see them again! OH...and maybe next time I'll get to see Conner... OH, OH and maybe all my other cousins down there too - you know -- Matt, Chris, Kristen, Stephanie and maybe even Aubrey!
Well here's some pics of me - I know how you wait for them... look how BIG I am!
