Ethan is 6 months old!

Our big boy is just growing like crazy!  He has actually slowed on his monthly height and weight gain, but he is changing so much!  Just one week after he turned 5 months old, he started being able to stay in the sitting position pretty well.  He still rocking on his hands and knees but no official crawling yet.  He is starting to make some forward progress but usually ends up going backwards.  Ethan continues to be the happiest baby we've ever seen.  He smiles at everyone and at everything.  His cry is often a mix between a laugh and a cry because he just can't stay sad!  He LOVES to eat!  He is still nursing about 5 times a day and I think we are mostly over the hump with night wakings.  Occasionally he will get up once.  He is only eating the one meal of solids, and eats about 2 ounces of food at that meal.  He loves prunes and bananas, but we haven't found anything that he will turn away yet!  Ethan loves his big sister and it is such a joy to watch them play together.  He loves any toy that makes noise and especially toys that he can easily grab and shake!  He still loves to hold on to burp clothes and blankets.  Ethan has also started sucking his thumb.  He will take a pacifier but mostly uses them as a teething ring.  I am just loving to watch him grow and learn.  At his 6 month appt, Ethan was 21 lbs and 29.25 inches tall.  He is still above the 95th percentile and is still in 12 month clothes, though is starting to be able to wear some 18 month clothes as well.
