One Month!!


I can't believe that Ethan is one month old already!!  I don't know what happened to the baby we brought home from the hospital, but this baby is really showing signs of settling in.  So long are the days of newborn clothing.  We've now graduated to 0-3 month sizes.  Goodbye newborn diapers.  Focusing on faces is fun, and sometimes we like to play follow the jangling of a bell toy.  Ethan still loves going out of the house, and especially loves the fresh air and watching the leaves blow in the breeze.  He his interested in music, and often finds it calming.  He still loves his Lamby, sitting in the Bobby pillow, and sleeping in his special vibrating chair.  He becoming quite the Momma's boy and is getting very cuddly. Everybody says he looks more and more like Daddy every day. Sometimes we nap during the day now (if only Mommy could learn to better utilize that time), and we're sleeping longer at night.  Bedtime is less of a struggle, and more of a quite routine.  Although Ethan is still a bit hesitant about bath time, he sits through it contently, and is starting to enjoy the splashes of water.  He's never more delightful and relaxed than after he's had a bath.  I wish I could bathe him all the time!  These photos are from Ethan's one month birthday!!!

Focusing so intently on that hand....
He always chews on his arm like that.  This week he actually bruised it in the process!

What else happened during week 4?
Spent lots of quality time with Mommy
Hiked the Rail Trail at Mt Gretna for a Labor Day weekend afternoon retreat
Got ice cream at Gretna, and Ethan spent his time mesmerized by the leaves.
