Ethan's How Old?!?

Well, well, well.... look who decided to write on the blog. It's a funny thing, I've even typed blog entries on my computer but never got around to actually posting them. I figured people don't really care what I have to say they really just want to see pictures of Ethan. Well, Ethan is almost 6 months old! He's got soooo much personality. He's been such a good baby for us! He loves to be scared and thinks it's so funny. He rolls all around from his back to his belly, from his belly to his back... it's his way of traveling these days. We expect him to crawl away any day now!

About a month or so ago we started to introduce Ethan to real food! We started with the usual rice cereal and oatmeal and after making our way through all of his veggies, Ethan tried his first fruit yesterday - apple sauce! He loves Squash and Sweet Peas and doesn't seem to like carrots, BUT he never spit anything out. So far he eats everything! (unlike his mommy ;-)

We started feeding Ethan in this vibrating seat, but his legs are so strong that he bounces himself all over the place. So we tried feeding him in his Bumbo but he can slide himself all over the dining room table (it seemed a little unsafe). So, we went ahead and graduated him to his high chair already! We thought it'd be a while before he made use of it, but apparently he's a big boy!

Ethan's other "milestones" are....

He's now an "assisted sitter." Yes, apparently that's an "official" stage for infants. In this case he's being assisted by a pillow and mommy's guitar ;-)

Ethan has been crazy strong since he was born... we think he was working out those extra 10 days he's stayed in my belly. I think he's been standing since about 6 weeks. Now days all you have to do is touch his hands and he immediately wants to stand up... at which time we yell "Babyzilla!" He loves to stand, but hopefully he'll wait a while still before he walks because I don't know if I could keep up with him walking about. He's hard enough to keep up with rolling around the floor!

I think that's all the highlights! I think I stopped blogging about the time he was discovering his hands and feet, cause he's been far too busy to walk away from ever since! Here's a quick recap of the last 4 months (starting at about 8 weeks till now) that I've made you all miss cause I'm a slacker....

One happy family!
