Ethan is 2 months old

It's hard to believe that Ethan is two months old already!!!  He is a big boy weighing 17lbs even and is 25.5 inches tall.  He already in 6-9 month clothes!!!  His sleeping has gotten better and most nights he will wake twice with the occasional blessing of only once!!  He is still basically napping in the swing, but will take some naps in his bed.  I have not quite figured out how to dedicate the time to get him napping in his bed with a 2 year old running around.  Speaking of the 2 year old, Ethan is mesmerized by his big sister! If she enters the room or he hears her voice, his face just lights up!!!  It is so precious to watch and makes me so excited to see their relationship grow and develop!  He is a super smiley baby, and loves to laugh.  He is actually SO happy that it's hard to tell when he is getting tired....which might be part of our napping problem.  He was stay happily awake for way longer than the "experts" recommend, and then if he gets really tired, he gets fussy and then has a hard time settling down.  He is starting to roll up on his side from his back and I expect rolling over to happen very soon!  He continues to be an awesome eater (as evidenced by his weight!).  He eats about every 3 hours with an occasional longer stretch.  Ethan has really found his voice this past month too.  He coos and "talks" talks all the time.  I love listening to little baby noises!  He has started to enjoy tummy time a little bit more, and can get his little chest up off the floor.  He tends to spit up a lot when he is on his tummy though!  He has also started really liking to look in mirrors.  It is so cute when he catches his reflection and starts to smile.  Ethan is such a precious edition to our family and every day brings us more and more joy!!!
