Ethan's sunflowers that he's planted in May have all grown to a spectactular height of over 180cm and are sooo lovely.

Ethan speak has evolved into complete sentences and entire conversations so the list is waaaaay to long to repeat but I will post highlights when and if I remember.

Yesterday he went to Mama and Papazee's with daddy for some anniversary blackforest cake and supper while I was recuperating from a cold at home. Upon his arrival back home, I asked him what ate,he did and saw.

"I had cake!"

"Oh did you,?"

"YEAH!

"I saw BATS!!"

"Wow and did you see Mama zee?"

"YEAH!"

"And Papazee?"

"YEAH"

"And Bruno?"(Their dog)

"Shut up!"

"Ah.. what did you say?"

"Shut up, Bruno!"

"Did you say shut up?"

"Shut up Bruno, papazee, say"

"Oh" (Laughing silently)

Ethan answers the phone on a regular basis and will tilt his head to the side and say "Hello?"

Then when the other person on the phone asks "Who is speaking?" Ethan will reply, "My name Ethan. My name Zahler. " He will then answer questions with a yes or no and will reply to simple questions usually. He is quite the phone hog and it's a lesson for Adam and I in patience until he is willing to end the conversation with the other person. We do try to ask for the phone, but he turns his back to us and walks away in the opposite direction. LOL.
