I always feel bad when a month has gone by and I haven't been on here! To start, when we took Ethan back to the doctor to get his ears looked at again his infection was gone woo hoo! We had wanted to ask the doctor about his teeth but she was in such a hurry that we didn't get to. Everyone has something different to say about when he should see a dentist. Right away or when he is 3. I want to go soon because for one, he has an ity bity chip on his front tooth, and he seems to grind his teeth so I am wondering if that is what caused it. And two, his top two teeth seem a tad dark, not like they are rotting or anything like that, it just seems like they're a bit darker and I am not sure why. I am a little ocd about people's teeth so that may have to do with why I am so concerned. Ethan also throws the biggest tantrums when I try to brush his teeth so that worries me a bit too. I want his teeth clean but it's hard to brush them when he fights me! I basically have to pin his fussbutt down and clean them by force, which makes me feel bad, but it's for his own good!! Anyway! I hate that I wait this long to write on here because then I forget everything that has happened this month! One thing we did was go to Jungle Java! Jungle Java is kind of like chuckecheese but they have a toddler area and serve healthier food. Nick and I took Ethan and a girl a know brought her son so they could have a play date! Ethan had a great time! He climbed up the playscape part like a little champ! He was a bit scared of the slide though haha. The little stinker also stole another boy's chair! Ethan was dragging chairs all over the place in the toddler area and even tried to take one up into the playscape! He then decided that the only chair he wanted was the ONE that a boy was sitting on. Ethan was literally pulling the chair around with the boy still on it! At one point the little boy went to adjust himself in his seat and lifted up a bit and Ethan took the chance to pull that chair right from under him and ran off with it!! Such a stinker. Another thing I noticed was how big Ethan is compared to the other kids! At Ethan's last appointment he weighed 25 pounds (a pound more than he weighed at his appointment 2 weeks earlier!). I am not sure of his height since they only take that at his actual checkups, but he was in the 96 percentile for height. Ethan towered over the other kids in the play area! Ethan the boy he took the chair from, who was 1 1/2 if I remember correctly! Ethan's going to be a big boy that's for sure!! Today we took Ethan to get photos done for Christmas (and just to have pictures of him at age 1..or close enough to being 1 ha) and he was a little monster!! He did NOT want his picture taken. He whined and cried and reached out to us! He would walk away from the props and follow me until I picked him up! I felt bad for him and the photographer!! We ended up rescheduling so hopefully when we go back he behaves for us!! Alicia (the photographer) takes such good photos, I would hate for him to be bad again and end up with nothing!! I feel like I am forgetting soo much that I wanted to write about..hmmm..OH! Ethan got his first boo boo that bled this month :( Ethan was running around after his bath and slipped in the bathroom and hit his mouth on the toilet! I was freaking out because he cried soo much and he was bleeding in his mouth and I had no clue what it was coming from, if he lost a tooth, etc. Luckily it quickly stopped and I could see that his tooth had just cut his lip. He handled it like a big boy and is all better now!! Speaking of teeth, Ethan has another tooth coming in on the left side of his center bottom one! He has been sleeping a lot, been grumpy, and hasn't wanted to eat so I think that may be why. He also is just really picky in general about what he eats now. One day he loves something and the next day he won't go near it! Silly kid! One thing that little stinker has started to do is decide to pee right when I get him out of the bath. I took him out one day and he ran out of the bathroom into the hallway and peed on the wall!! The next day when he got out of the tub he squatted down and peed on the bathroom rug! He hasn't done it since then but I have been keeping good watch on him to make sure he doesn't! Well I think I rambled enough for now, I am sure a bit after I post this I will think of things I forgot to write about like always.
