So what's going on in Ethan-land? First, last weekend Ethan made his first trip to the Bloomsburg Fair!!! He did a great job for such a little kiddo at the fair for over four hours!
And of course, we have watched ourselves more football...
Last week we had some pretty rough growth spurt days. After 4 days of fussy fussy baby, Ethan was a whole pound heavier, putting him at a grand 12.5lbs and once again too tall for those footie pajamas! The next day he literally slept ALL day while Mommy ran errands and got stuff done (most notably emptying out my closet for a bit of a wardrobe redo). Then there was the day of the great flood. Remember that...it was when Ethan was ruler of his own island for a whole day!
Since then, we make new strides every day. Ethan still hasn't conquered rolling over to his side, but he does have successful moments! His head control is greatly improved, his head rarely bobbing forward. Ethan's gaining control over his hands as well as they make their way into his mouth successfully more and more often. Night time sleeping continues to improve (hallelujah!) If we could only learn to nap well (one step at a time)!!
What does Ethan like to do? He likes to play "get the piggy toes" as Mommy helps him grab his feet. He lies on his tummy and pushes his feet off Daddy's hands to "scoot" across a blanket. He likes to be held in a standing position and push with his legs. He likes to look at our new ceiling fans too!
As for Mommy, I recently had my follow up appointment. I am now officially "healed" and my physical restrictions are lifted. First on the agenda?? I went out and got myself some new pants. You know, the kind that don't have elastic at the waist! Fabulous!! I still have some minor incision pains, but I can honestly say that I'm finally feeling just about back to "normal."
All in all, we're all enjoying our time together, and having ourselves a lot of fun!
