Almost Two!

It is hard for me to believe that in so many short weeks Ethan will be 2 years old!!!! It just amazes me how fast time passes by us. All, I know is that we are so lucky that Ethan is ours! He is the strongest little toddler, nothing EVER holding him back. I honestly cannot believe everything Ethan has been going through since March, it's all like a bad dream. Luckily, through everything, we all manage to stay strong and keep going. Ethan is the main reason why Nathan and I can keep going like we do. We are all worn out and ready for his tube to be removed. It has been very difficult to keep Ethan away from water and not go outside as much. Not to mention, we have to watch almost every move he makes to make sure the tube is okay!
 Just today, we were told August 4th was the day Ethan goes back to Riley Hospital for the Whittaker test again. They will then determine after the test if indeed Ethan needs another surgery (please pray he does not). He will also get his tube removed from his back (the tube had been draining his left kidney). We are praying so hard that all goes well on August 4th, we just know what ever happens it's in god's plans, and we trust in him so much!
Ethan keeps growing so fast, and is doing something new everyday. He is talking up a storm, almost sentences. He talks so well, I had no clue that he knew all the words he does. He will be talking to me and say something... Ive never heard before,  I am so amazed! We will tell Ethan he is so cute and he will scream "I KNOW", it is so funny. His auntie Shannon taught him to say that ha!
Ethan has become an expert with hitting his baseball, loving naming off his shapes and colors, and last but not least he is getting in about 5 teeth all at once. Soon, I hope to do a post updating everything Ethan has been up too! Thank you all again for your support and prayers at this time. We are so THANKFUL and feel so BLESSED , we are so lucky to have such wonderful family and close friends!
 Here are some pictures of our Strong Little Man in his Pajamas tonight. It just melts my heart the he is full of life, nothing holding him back, ALWAYS happy and oh so sweet (and oh so busy)! I just love him to pieces!

Ethan's "kick" collection keeps growing and he is only 2 years old!
