Ethan has his 18 month appt. last week Wednesday. He came away with only 2 shots this time, thankfully! He measured 33 inches tall (70%) and 25 lbs, 8 oz (50%). Overall, he was great at the appointment and only cried when the shots came. The doctor was impressed when I told her the large vocabulary he had, and also informed me that his top canine teeth were close to the gum line.
I was hoping to have his pictures up by now, but I just called JCPenney and they forgot to add the internet feature, so hopefully in a few days.
This weekend was another busy one for Ethan and I. Saturday morning I got up and ran another 5K in Aurora. I actually got 1st in my age group, 7th place for women and 27th (of 131) overall in the race. I beat my time by a minute and forty seconds, so I was pretty excited. I guess my competitive side comes out a bit. After my race, I went home and took Ethan to swim class. He is getting better every week and I love it. We do the "itsy bitsy spider" and the kids hold on to the wall and move their hands as we sing. Usually I help him move his hands but he did it all by himself this time. After swim class we ran home for a quick lunch and then Ethan and I headed to Champaign for the night. We had dinner and stayed with Dave's grandparents Saturday night and then we met my brother and family at his church on Sunday morning for service, followed by lunch. Ethan and I were back at home by 3 on Sunday to unwind before the week. Although Ethan doesn't see his great grandparents much, I was so impressed that when it was bedtime, I walked around the bedroom with him for about 5 minutes and then left and he didn't let out a peep. I think it says a lot, that he was comfortable in the new environment to not need me. We were bummed that Dave couldn't be with us, but we knew that he needed this last weekend to study before his test (this Saturday).
I can't remember if I've mentioned, but Ethan can say his name now. It sounds like "Enan", but I'm sure the "th" sound will come. Also, it really surprised me this weekend when he was playing with a bunch of coasters at Dave's grandparents. He kept taking them out and putting them back in and twice when there was just one left on the floor to put back, he said "one more". I didn't even say anything to that effect and he realized there was one more to put away?!!!

Hi! This is Judith's cousin, Bobbi. I did the Longaberger show when I came up to see her in Chicago and met you there. I just happened to click on your blog from her's. Wow! Nice job on the 5k! That's awesome. I'm a runner too but speed is not my strong suit. I see he's growing up quickly but congrats on your baby! He's adorable.
