~A little bit of this and a little bit of that~

This post is going to be really random! I really haven't had the time to sit down and blog as much as I like to these past weeks. We have been extremely busy over here in the badger household. Last week, I accomplished so many projects around the house I've been wanting to get done. If I wasn't working on projects we were out and about doing things that we had going on. Since it has been so nice out, we are outside as much as we can be. Just like last year, Ethan LOVES the outdoors. I sometimes have to fight our lil guy just to come in for the day ha! The good thing about being outside , is it makes him really tired and he will take extra long naps whoo hooo!
Big News, finally at 20 months, Ethan has gotten his one year molars!!! He has been such a champ with getting those teethers in, we are so proud of him. He has a bear and a blankly that soothes him so that helps with teething. Overall, Ethan has been doing great. He is talking like crazy (almost non-stop) and has a very good memory. We can give Ethan directions...such as...I will ask Ethan to get his coat and shoes to go "bye bye" and he will do just that. He will even try to put them on! He can also pick things out of the fridge that I ask for and hand them to me. We had no ideal this kiddo knew where the tub of butter and cream cheese was. Ethan LOVES the fridge and everything that is in it! Did I mention my kid can EAT? Ethan is a never ending eating machine lately. Thankfully with all of his eating , he loves vegetables, this makes Mommy and Daddy HAPPY! Lately, Ethan has been obsessed with mowing the lawn, playing baseball, and golf.

Speaking of those things.... this is what he got for Easter! He plays with these toys ALL DAY! He even wants to go to bed with the balls. Bless his heart ha!

 

  

On another note, not to long ago, Burke and Ethan exchanged goodies for Easter! Check these boys out....

 

Before Ethan leaves bye bye, he has to grab his bear..This is  something "new" he has started just this month! He loves bears and the sound they make. We will be in public, and he will shout out "bear" "roooooar" It is hilarious!

We have had many family visitors this weekend. Ethan has been soaking up the love from them. Nathan and I have enjoyed our breaks here and there with family around. We even got to go on a double date with our friends last night! Thank you to both sides of our family for the special visits! We are so thankful for you all!!!!

Cousins Enjoying playtime together!

Paw Paw and Ethan playing on Daddy's Mower. Ethan throws a fit when you take him off .Definitely somthing we have to work on! It's hard because Daddy has one ride on mower in the garage and one outside, so either way he sees it!

This weekend Ethan got a bad bruiser on his head. We felt so bad. It happened within seconds. He was acting silly before bedtime and ran straight into the wall! Look at our little Bruiser....

And because this post continues to be so random, I just had to share these next pictures before I go prepare for our day tomorrow (if you are still even following all of this ha)!

Okay, so Ethan has continued to show "some,...but not much" interest in using the potty .... Well, when he actaully goes or sit and pretend with his diaper on he screams for toilet paper. He has to put the toilet paper into the toilet and slam the lid. EVERY TIME.! Proud Mama to show this picture right!

                                                  

      And last but not least here is Ethan talking to his "girlfriend" out of our window today. I was cleaning up and heard Ethan laughing and yelling out the window. I just thought he was in a  good mood talking to the birds. Nope he was talking to our neighbor Lexy "his girlfriend".

Once Again we have an eventful week! I sure do hope it contiues to warm up a little. I hope to blog more this week!

Happy Birthday Paw Paw!

Dear Paw Paw,
We LOVE AND MISS you so very much! You are the best grandpa & great-grandpa in the world!! Ethan sends so many hugs and kisses!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo & Such

Last week, we ventured out to Aunt Shannon and Uncle Adam's area with Laurie and Mr. B-man. First we ate lunch an extremely fun TRAIN restaurant , then visited Aunt Shannon at her house, then ended the day with some shopping...whew! Good Times!! Yes, in the end we were all very tired! Hey you play you pay right?

Below are some pictures that I have wanted to post from our weekend!

 Here is Ethan sporting saftey gear for his scooter. These pictures crack me up! Maybe becuase he looks so little with all of that gear on? Or maybe because he is in his pajamas?

Ethan had a vistor....His Paw Paw came to visit! They had a blast together. We love you Paw!

And last but not least.... the baby birds have arrived again this Spring. Above that speaker are two nests of baby robin eggs! Same place as last year, right out our laundry room door.

Back in Action!!!!

We have been busy enjoying family time over here. Ethan has been feeling really good lately. It was almost like overnight, we got our "happy-pain-free" Ethan back. We sure did miss our happy lil man. This past month, Ethan had a rough recovery. If he wasn't in pain ~his medicines were bothering him~ and if it was not those two things it was having to go to the doctor. It almost seemed like even if he was having a somewhat good day by the end of the day he would be so sore with constant pains. Overall, he just has not felt well for a while now. As of last week, Ethan started feeling great. He started to run again, climb all over things, sleep and eat like a champ, play with friends........ you know what I am saying....He has started to feel good and now is back IN ACTION! We could not be happier!! I wanted to share some really fun things Ethan has been doing. I have to say watching Ethan do "new" things for the first time has always warmed my heart. He amazes us each day on how smart he is. Watching him grow through each stage has been so amazing. I always say this....and here I go again..I feel so lucky and blessed that Ethan is my son! Motherhood is so rewarding!

Now here are just some of the many fun things Ethan has been doing~
He can sing " many words out of songs on his favorite television shows, he has a darling voice if Id say so my self !He likes to do the movements that they "aka characters" do on television while singing. He loves to dance!
He can count to 2. He puts his finger up for ONE, its so darn funny how serious he is when doing this. He can do some colors as well. His favorite color to point out is blue.
He likes to point out boo boo's (fake or real) and say "ahh boo boo, iss it" for ahh boo boo, kiss it! He will do this on not only himself, but others as well.
He enjoys naming out his body parts while pointing. Again not only his, but others! He can say many of the body parts like nose, mouth, back(his favorite who knows ha!), toes,teeth, tongue, arm, ear. He is learning them quickly.
He is defiantly a routine-scheduled kind of toddler! Watch out if we forget something in his bedtime routine. He almost flipped a lid tonight when I forgot to pull out his stepping stool for brushing his teeth... funny kiddo!
He continues to love reading books. In his animal books he is very good at remembering what animals say and or what they do. Love this!
His biggest new thing is to carry his "bear" around everywhere. I have tried to sneak the bear to the washer...FAILED! This bear may start to make his debut in many pictures on here.
He loves to golf, and play basketball with daddy and have mama rock him "night night" before bed.. (I truly hope this stage never ends)!!!
Just wanted to share some things our lil guy has been doing. He is growing way to fast..... I cannot believe he will be two in August!

  

Fun With Friends!!!!
