Ethan continues to be such a joy!! He is really the smiliest baby
I have ever seen. He cries when he gets tired, hungry, or if big sister
plays a little too rough. But other than that, he is just always
smiling!!! He has started to really laugh a lot! He loves to
watch people and will often laugh at funny faces or loud noises. He loves
to be surprised, so peek a boo is one of his favorite games! He also has
a blast with patty cake! He hasn't been sleeping quite as well as in my
last update. We have had some nights where he gets up 2 or even 3 times!
But most nights at this point he wakes up once, while occasionally still
giving us a full nights sleep. We have started baby food. So far
Ethan has had rice cereal, avocado, and butternut squash. He has really
done a great job eating, and doesn't seem to love the squash but will eat it
fine! He is rolling over like a champ and started to push up to his hands
and knees this past month. On his 5 month birthday he started rocking
back and forth while on his hands and knees!!! He really is growing too
fast, and I fear that we are going to have a mobile child much earlier than
expected!! He can sit for a few seconds, but doesn't mind when he falls
over. He has started loving to hold toys and his favorite things to play
with are his buzzy bee, any burp cloth, or any blanket. He also loves to
grab onto hair!! Hannah and I can often be found saying, "Ouch!
Ethan, let go of my hair!" He has two teeth on the bottom, and is
full fledged into 9-12 month clothes. He is actually beginning to outgrow
some of the 6-12 month clothes from Gymboree. Ethan weighs 20lbs 2oz and
is 29 inches tall. He continues to be "above" the 95th
percentile in height and weight!
