Ethan, Eva, Food and More!: Ethan at 2 1/2

My precious boy is growing up! Here are the highlights:

Weight - 27 lbs
Height - 35 1/2 inches
Clothes - mostly 2T now, but tops can range between 18 month and 2T. Ethan can fit into 3-6 month pants though (think bike shorts)!
Diapers - no more diapers! Ethan is working very hard on potty training and is very good at telling us when he has to go poop. We are now working on staying dry!
Sleep - he is continuing to be a good sleeper, even with a newborn in the house. He goes to bed between 6:30 and 7pm and we usually don't hear from him until 6 am'ish the next morning. Sadly, he's starting to refuse naps at home.
Eating - with how frequently he eats, Chris and I are quite surprised he's not wider than he is tall. He loves his carbs (breads and cereals), fruits and veggies (broccoli and carrots are his favorites!).
Likes - eating, the taste of plain black coffee (decaf), playing with his trucks and Thomas the Tank Engine train set (he's got quite the little imagination), helping mommy in the kitchen, and more recently, helping with Eva!
Dislikes - blowing his nose, naps, being told to focus (I've been attempting and failing to teach him how to write his letters) and chocolate
New tricks - doing chores for "monies". He will vacuum (with a real vacuum) and then demand that we give him "monies" to put in his piggy bank. Thank goodness a penny or two is adequate payment ;)
