Well, I've been working on Ethan's room bit by bit and it's coming along! I'm not done yet though, he still has some items from his room that must be hiding in random boxes. I'm mainly still missing things like decorative light covers, nightlight, piggy bank, and a few other things. Plus there are boxes in the corner of the room that I did NOT take pictures of. :-)
Anyways though, here is his nursery so far! It might be like this for a while so I thought I'd take pictures. I'm in no immediate danger of getting his room finished soon.
Ethan seems to like his new room!
I have no idea what he was smiling at. It was just the two of us and he was smiling at everything but me!
I was going through my computer trying to clear up some space when I ran across these photos of Ethan that I took when he was 10 weeks old. I can't believe that he has more than doubled his age since then.
Five Months! Sometimes when I hear those words it sounds a little too close to half a year and I am in disbelief. Sometimes I hear those words (when I'm tired) and think....ONLY five months? Either way you look at it though, these have been five of the most fulfilling months of our lives. We love you, Ethan and are so glad that you are a part of our family!
Ethan, at five months you are:
-Shrieking (at the top of your lungs I might add) with happiness at your toys or just when you are happy
-knocking your toys off your bumbo play tray and then bending down to pick them back up off the floor
- Smiling at everything but you also get frustrated quickly with your toys when they don't do what you want them to do

- No longer sleeping through the night and you are having trouble with naps. We had a week where you were doing great taking naps in your bed but now you'll only take a good nap if Momma holds you. On your own in your crib your naps only last about 3o minutes and its only after much fussing as we try to get you down.
- Scooting around on your tummy
- Reaching out to explore anything that gets near you
- Love playing rocket with Daddy
- Spend a good part of your day blowing spit bubbles
- Weigh 18 lbs, yes that's right, EIGHTEEN pounds! Took the headrest out of the car seat after seeing this photo! When did you get so big? Just two weeks ago you could still see the car seat logo right above your head and you only weighed 16.5 lbs... you are growing so fast!
- So interested in anything we eat or drink! You act like you want to drink from a cup SO bad! You were so interested in my drink that I gave you a cup to play with.
- You like to hold your bottle when we feed you. You still need help a lot of the time though! The eczema outbreak you had on your face was bad but it is starting to get better now!
- You are also starting to enjoy our daily walks in the park again. You mostly play with the toys we bring for you but occasionally you will nap.
- Starting to mimic us. If I stick my tongue out at you you try to do it back! What a fun game!

You also are:
- Saying Oooo, ahhhh, daaah, baaaa
- Love to eat bananas, applesauce, sweet potatoes and pears.
- Wearing size 6-9 month clothing, size 2 shoes and size 3 diapers.
He can't crawl yet but he's pretty proud of his new scootin' around abilities! He can't get far but as soon as he develops stronger upper arm muscles it won't be long until we have an army crawler!
