Pumpkins,Kitties and Craziness

So what have we been up too lately.Well Ethan got to help me crave his first pumpkin a few weeks ago.Kept trying to stick his hands in to help pull out the goop and it didn't bother him when he did either(all boy here).We no longer really want to be held either unless its his choice.
I took him to Beau's softball games the other night and for the first game he was non-stop energy like a battery that wouldn't quit and my dad was running around after the second game so I could actually watch one and he's like that everywhere now.He has to go up and down the stairs himself now with me holding his hand of course.We are seriously becoming Mr.Independent.
With Thanksgiving coming just in a few weeks too he is going to get to sample so much he might come back 30lbs.Last thanksgiving all he could eat off our plates was mash potatoes;-)

Say Cheese!

Such a cute little fan!

He does this thing now where he growls like a bear!

We are into building things now too.Anything that stacks or closes together he's into it.

Beau puts a unpluged keyboard in front of his soo when Ethan' is in his lap he's not pushing all over his keyboard and messing up or closing Beaus down.He beats on it too.

Ethan's Pumpkin that he helped me carve that why it looks a little imperfect,I think it looks good though for something that a 17 month old help do.

Beau's Pumpkin that he was so proud of!

One big Happy pumpkin Family;-)

Little goofball

A mouth full of Puffies there and such a evil look too!

Callie is like a small child she enjoys the bag more then what came out of it;-)

Chatter the big boy,those green eyes will go right though ya!

Noah is still holding strong with a toddler and two other young cats in the house.He takes charge of what he wants too.

Pumpkins and Bubbles!

Last Friday we went to the pumpkin patch with the moms and kids from church and Ethan wasn't out a very happy camper.After he inhaled his lunch we became very dis interested in every thing else and decided to go off and do our own thing.He was hot and cranky and didn't want to sit still for the camera at all which told me he wanted to be somewhere a little cooler.

This is the best picture that I could get out of him that afternoon.Very displeased with the whole ordeal.
There is sort of a smile there!

Can you believe he turned his back on a camera and walked away from me.Sadly for me to he has started what they all call the "2 year old tantrums" too and that is going to be different for me.

I'm tired mommy can we go home now please!

When we got home he was tired yes but he was also sweaty and dirty from playing in the dirt so we got in the tub to clean up a bit.He does love the bathtub too.Plus we have to have bubbles every time too(or as Ethan calls then"bubbies").

Trying to share with me and ask to build something for him so he could knock it over of course;-)

Hehe!! Ethan's bubblehawk.He didn't care he was to busy playing.

He seems to be intriged by the color yellow for some reason too.That may be his favorite color right now you never know.

Oh the Faces we make!

As soon as he hears me pop the cap off the camera he comes running over just like a cat at dinner time.He loves to give me the goofiest expressions and why not.Besides it makes for great memories.Enjoy my little man's pictures as much as he did.;-)Extra note those brown p.j's he is wearing are 3T's (wow).Thought I would share that especially to anyone getting him clothes for christmas.He can't wear anything smaller then a 2T now!
Oh! the dramatics!

Every once in a while he does not appreciate camera,but its very rare.

Give me kiss Ethan!

Something is funny!

Blowfish!!

Don't know quite how to describe this face except I fell over laughing after taking it.

Don't really want to smile mommy,ok here is my best effort!

Its been a year!

I can't believe it's been a year since we brought our two little fuzz balls home.Of course I'm going to say this but they have become such a huge joy in our lives.Nothing can replace what you may have lost but they sure enough filled a hole at least in my heart that I so muched needed especially this past year.

Chatter is the talker,climber and the one who snuggles up with me every night as soon as the lights go out hes up beside my pillow,although last night I found his head and front legs perched up on my side purring away.So sweet!
Callie is the lover and kisser and is always for a handout from Ethan at every mealtime.

Hehe caught him in mid yawn.He still loves to get into Ethan's bumbo seat or wedge himself into it I should say.

We are going to have to get this girl a nice window perch when we get into a house next,as much as she likes to be up high.

Just look at the whiskers on this animal.Hes still growing by the way too.

Why,because hes cute!

Since I've discovered my child loves the camera I figured might as well take advantage of it.We have figured out about only 30 words he is saying pretty clear now.However he is always working on about 10 more a day it seems.When he is done eating he says all umb(all done) and tries to push his tray out.He said water pretty clearly the other day and should since that and milk is mostly what he drinks.We have discovered G2 Gatorade now too and he loves it and I don't mind so much because its half the sugar of Gatorade and I half and half it.

He loves his monkey.This is the one Beau got him his first christmas!Can you say AWE!

Beau told him to smile,we laughed instead.Close enough!

If you look really closely you can see molars popping though on the top!

This is his fish face,too cute!

He oddly doesn't really like to watch t.v,but the commercials interest him oddly,although I have no clue why!

Happy boy!

He's singing away and playing on his keyboard for me!

Daddy Time

Ethan has spent a lot more time these past few weeks with Beau then normal and lets just say hes enjoyed his extra daddy time.As soon as Beau walks though the door every evening I'm totally invisible till dinner time of course.He is coming into a real fun age now too.I wish they could start at this age cause hes a blast and it never ends when you want a good laugh we always wait for it cause right before bed he gets so goofy(not cranky) and it hilarious to watch him act like a little nut.

My life would be boring if it wasn't for my little man!
I'm flying mommy!

I told him to go put his dirty clothes in the hamper and he throws them over the gate,mommy's little helper its a start!

He loves to interact with Beau at the computer!

Watching the Gator Game against Tenn on the couch together.

I need the camera mommy!

Is he allowed to do that daddy!
