Birthday & Christmas!

Well it has been a while since I have updated the blog as usual I seem to be so busy and cant ever get on here. Two big events have happened. Ethan's 1 yr Birthday and Christmas. Of coarse Ethan got spoiled and got plenty of clothes and toys, more than he ever needed lol but nothing is to good for my bubba. His birthday party was awesome, cake was amazing, and seeing all the friends and family made it a really good day. My sisters and grandma came out so I was able to spend time with them which was good. At the end of Ethan;s b-day party we decided to write messages to Evan on all the balloons from each of us, then let them go into the sky. That was really really hard, we cried and then had to watch Ethan's slode show again it was just very very sad, but we needed to do it. Ethan didnt understand why mommies were crying but he will later on in life.
Christmas was also amazing, we opened lots of gifts got time to spend with family and Ethan had a blast playing in his paper that his presents were wrapped in. He enjoyed the boxes and wrapper paper more than his gifts lol. He is getting very big almost in 18mon clothes, he goes to the Dr for his 1 yr checkup on Jan 13th as well as his next eye appt with the specialist. He will be going to the dentist for the 1st time as well in Feb since he has 4 teeth. He can now pull himself up and stand holding on to things as well as can stand for about 3 sec by himself without falling. He is going to start drinking whole milk tomorrow so we will see how that goes and we are trying to teach him how to clap he gets very excited and does it a couple times but then stops so thats coming soon to I think. He just keeps growing and growing!! Also I dont know if I put this in my last post but our best friend Dawn had her baby. Little Brett Evan(after our evan) was born on Dec 17th 8lbs 4oz and he came home on the 18th the day that Evan went to heaven. ;o) It must have been a sign or something. Well I am going to attempt to upload pictures to the blog but I have a few to upload. Our snow day, some of Brett and Ethan, his birthday, and christmas! I will get started and try to post more often. ;o) Have a good night everyone and god bless!!!
