New Accomplishments for June!

Well, Ethan has been off to a busy start this month!

He is working on his artistic abilities by drawing on...

- Walls
- His baby dolls' heads and faces
- Paper pad
- Coloring Book
- Toys

Guess which of the above are the only two genuine "accepted" drawing outlets for a young tot in the Green household?
Yeah... you got it.

In addition to expanding his artistic abilities, Ethan is also working on his vocalization. In May, he said "Mama" and "No," (and no, not together, thank you!), however he really does not feel like repeating himself. He must think I am so dense when I keep asking him, "Who am I? Who am I? Am I 'Mama?'" Lol~

He loves doing his ear-splitting high pitch screaming. My guess is he is trying to communicate with his brothers in utero. I have no idea what message he is trying to relay, but I am thinking it is something along the lines of, "I can't wait to draw on you two when you get out!!!"

He has mastered the fine art of opening and closing the doors in our house, thanks to our usage of levers instead of round knobs as door handles. Guess which Grandma was surprised yesterday when she was in the bathroom...

He also started holding his index finger up now when you ask him how old he is. He doesn't do it every single time, though. I guess he decided that he had better start keeping track of the important stuff like his age and all, given his Mommy's lack of identity retention. Sheesh. He does have to grow up fast, doesn't he?

Ethan is busy working on his gymnastic skills as well. He loves attempting a head stand. He hasn't quite gotten the idea that the legs need to go straight in the air, but soon enough he will be proficient at it and giving Mommy all sorts of scares...

Finally, Ethan is working on his mad dance skills because all the ladies love a dancer.

What a busy 17-month old... and the month is JUST getting started!
