5 months!

Our little Man is 5 months old. Can you believe it? I once again cannot believe how fast time is going...
Ethan is getting to be such a wonderful little boy. For the most part he is an easy little guy. Really only cries when he is hungry or tired. As soon as he's swaddled, he knows its bed time and snuggles into his blanket and falls asleep. He still refuses to nurse sometimes... mostly in the afternoons, when he wants his food NOW. While up in Calgary he met all of his relatives for the first time, even his 93 year old great grandpa.
We just love this little guy so much and have had a fun time watching him grow... Its going too fast though!
Here is what he is doing these days:
  • Still drools like crazy
  • found his hands... he has started chewing on his knuckles
  • doing much better at holding his BIG 92% head up
  • loves to hold his fingers in a point (as you can see in some of the photos)
  • likes to cross his legs at the ankles
  • loves being tossed in the air... he giggles like crazy
  • rolled over for the first time in Calgary
  • from 2.5 months to 4 months Ethan was sleeping through the night... but after his 6 month birthday he got a little cold and started waking up hungry once a night... and then we went home... and oh my! He started getting up 3-4 times a night. What the heck!!! Not only that, but he was literally nursing me out of house and home during the day!
  • fits in size 3 diapers
  • grabs toys and brings them to his mouth
  • still loves bath time
  • loves to snuggle into your chest
  • took his first plane ride and did awesome
  • still loves to be swaddled
  • this month he totally lost all of his hair and now its growing back faster... still the same color
  • is very interested in his big sister. he watches Isabella very intently when she is around
  • likes playing on his play mat
  • takes a good morning nap and afternoon nap
  • goes to the nursery like a big boy for Bible study on tuesdays and church on sundays
  • you can always tell when Ethan is tired because he either rubs his eyes or rubs his nose into your shoulder
