Ethan is 15 months!

We had Ethan's 15 month check up the other day.  He weighed in at a hefty 26 pounds!  The kid loves food and it shows.  He is a "side sipper" because he never wants to miss a beat by having his cup in front of his eyes.  He also loves to play.  He will spend a lot of time playing by himself.  He always pulls out the trains, cars and trucks.  If we ever hear him whining down the hall we know he is carrying the train bag around and wants us to open it for him.  He can nod yes or no to let us know what he wants.  He can say a few more words and it seems that the list is growing longer everyday.  He currently says: mama, dada, Cole, no, all done, uh oh, hulk, more, milk, and car.  He also makes car and train noises, acts like a dog, and is starting to identify body parts.  If we don't understand what he is trying to say he will drag us around to show us what he wants.  He loves to play with Cole and try to do everything he does.  He loves to read books especially the super hero books.  He is very happy and keeps us laughing. 
Ethan also has a special little blankie.  It is one that Matt's sister makes.  If it ever gets dirty I have to find the right moment to wash it because he loves to have it all the time.  Matt asked his sister to send us a new one.  It happened to be a tad different and Ethan spotted the impostor immediately.  Let's hope that nothing happens to blankie!
