Ethan turns 2!

My baby boy turned 2 yesterday! We had a Monsters University themed birthday party. Thank you to Megan for helping me set up and take pictures! She was a life saver! Ethan LOVES Monsters University and asks to watch it at least once everyday (I don't always give in to his requests...but lets just say we've probably seen Monsters together 20 times)

We had a couple simple games for the kids to play including Pin the Eye on Mike and Mike Ball Toss. We gave Ethan a bubble machine for his birthday which was a huge hit at the party. Ethan absolutely LOVES bubbles.

 Mike and Sulley cupcakes. You may have to use your imagination a little bit

Ethan had been looking forward to blowing out his candles all morning, well for the past month really. When I went to get him out of his crib on his birthday I said "Yay Ethan it's your birthday today! Happy Birthday!" And he excitedly proclaimed "Yay! Blow Candles!!!" We lit and relit his candles 3 times...and then 3 more times at night with Chris and another cupcake.

Ethan has great little friends and cousins!

Happy as can be with his trucks and a sucker

Ethan is such a fun little boy. We seriously couldn't ask for anything more. We are truly so blessed to be his parents! 

At 2 years old Ethan:

- Talks like a pro. Communicates really well with us and can say pretty much anything. He is a little parrot sometimes. He recently started saying "grab some tissues babe!" as we leave the house because he heard Chris say that once. 

- Always says "sure" instead of "yes." It's the cutest

- Is super smart. He knows every animal sound, and quiet a few colors. He has an incredible memory and will remember names after only hearing them once. 

- Is too busy to eat most of the time. We battle with him constantly trying to get him to eat and most of the time resort to turing on a TV show or sticking food in his mouth while he is playing...I know horrible habits... 

- Loves candy...what boy doesn't though?

- Sleeps great at night. Will sleep usually from 8 to 8. One day he slept in until noon, which had us shocked and worried. Takes a 1-2 hour nap during the day.

- Loves his binki and blankie.  Will ask for them as if they are one word "binki-blankie"

- Loves Nursery. He was heart broken when we had stake conference last week and he couldn't go to nursery.

- Favorite TV show is Mickey Mouse and favorite movie is Monsters University or Frozen. 

- Loves to play outside. In the snow, rain or shine he wants to be outside. 

- Is the sweetest little boy. He has moments of tantrums but I honestly can't complain he is happy and content the majority of the time. 

We love our Ethan!
