Ethan's Half a year old


Wow! Ethan is 6 months old already. I was thinking the other day how much faster Ethan's first year is going compared to Isabella's first year. I don't know if it is because we are just so much busier with two that it makes the time seem to go by faster... or if it really does. I am starting to think Time just goes by faster! This little guy is such a cutie and such a wonderful child. In this last month I can really see how different his personality is than Bella's. He is a very different child then she was. He is demanding!
Here are the things Ethan is doing these days:
  • If he's in a cuddly mood, Ethan doesn't like it when he is left alone or put down.
  • He still likes his food 5 minutes ago
  • I would describe him as a lazy boy
  • When we came back from calgary, I once again cut him off of feeding at night. It took three nights of him waking up (crying a little) before he got the memo that he wasn't going to be fed during the night.
  • He started eating solid foods. He loves his applesauce, bananas and oatmeal
  • He is starting to sit up
  • Love to take his su su out and put his right index finger into his mouth and chew on it
  • Still drools like crazy
  • Ethan had his first sickness... tonsillitis! Poor little guy, we had to take him to the ER while in Billings because his fever was 102+. HIs little tonsils were inflamed and pussy. It was just a virus, so nothing anyone could do about it. Tylenol and Motrin helped.
  • Is in size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothing
  • Still loves to be swaddled
  • Hasn't rolled over at all this month (like i said... he's lazy)
  • He is getting more alert and aware of his surroundings (he loves watching his big sister)
  • He still loves to snuggle into your chest when he is tired. It is so dear (as Ann my mother in law would say)
  • Still doesn't like putting any weight on his legs (once again lazy)
  • Weighs 15 1/2 lbs
  • I totally and completely loved by his family!
