The Birthday Boy!!!!!!!!!!

I am ONE today!!!!!!

Ethan Samuel Dean is one year old today! It's crazy to think that a year has passed already but here we are!

He's doing great and really getting around everywhere. He's trying to start running-he thinks it's a fun game to run away from us-taught by big brother of course! :)

He's really tall for his age but right on with his weight so makes for a tall skinny, skinny boy. Lately we keep saying that he's looking more and more like his Uncle Jeremy.

He talks all the time and has started to take up "singing". He says "Da Da" and "Uh Oh" (sounds like "Uh No") and sometimes "Nana"

The following pictures aren't the greatest so I'll get more at the party on Sunday.

ENJOY!!!!!

It's Official!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND WE'RE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was day number 1. Not to bad. A few accidents but once he decided that he didn't like peeing on himself he was set. We had a little set back after nap time due to the pull up and I think that the initial excitment and "coolness" had worn off.

He changed my plan for training in two ways. He doesn't fit on any "portable" potties so we couldn't just have a day of movies and drinks. So it was a day full of "Mommy! Pee Pee coming" and "Run Mason!" ;) And he REFUSES and I mean refuses to go around naked! He just won't do it! He has to have his "Handy Manny" or "Cars" underwear on and an under shirt. He won't go without either one. He's such a weird kid. I have a feeling that Ethan will be the streaker!

But when all was said and done the day was succesfull. We made it a successful 7 times and right before bath and bedtime we finally got him to poop! I was close to giving up twice but he's asleep now and it doesn't seem that bad anymore. Tomorrow is a whole new day and we are both exhausted so we'll see how it goes.

Wish us both luck!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody warned me about how tired I would be! :)
