My boy is growing up

Ethan has recently started talking up a storm. Most of it is undistingishable jibber jabber mixed in with an actual word, but he's talking nonetheless. I love to hear him talk. I came back from camp and he spoke so more clearly in just 4 days.

The other morning I was getting ready for work in my room. Ethan likes to try and climb up on our bed. For those of you who have never seen our bed, you need to know that it is a tall bed. If I stood next to it the top of the mattress would hit slightly higher than the top of my hip bone. So, while Ethan has never managed to make it onto the bed by himself it is a continual task to accomplish.

ANYWAY, I was getting ready and he was climbing. He said, "Mommy?" I turned and said, "What bubby?" And he tilted his head, smiled and said, "Bub you!". My heart melted. I said, "I love you, too." And it was truly our first audible and understandable conversation.

He is growing up so quickly. I can't believe he'll be 2 in a few short months. Someone said something the other day about just wait til he starts college. UM! HELLO? I'm not even ready for kindergarten. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
