update and pictures!

Sorry for the delay in any posting lately. Things have been going great and we haven't had any doctors appointments lately so not really anything to update. Ethan continues to do well sleeping at night - sleeping on average, 12-13 hours a night, plus several long naps throughout the day.

We are continuing to work on getting him used to non-thickened bottles by doing one bottle of regular formula when he is most alert (usually first thing in the morning or after a long nap). He is also enjoying trying new baby foods like pears, carrots, and even chicken (all pureed thanks to Gerber!).

Ethan's still not sitting up on his own, but we're almost there. He can finally roll over and has started doing it nearly every time he's on his changing table so we have to keep a close eye on him!

We had our first little "accident" with him last Wednesday. We decided to go for a family walk after dinner but somehow forgot to buckle him in the stroller. Next thing I knew, the stroller felt a little lighter and I looked down, and there was our son - face down on the road! What a scary sight for all, but fortunately Ethan came away without a scratch! After a brief moment of cuddling with mommy, Ethan calmed right down from his screaming and we put him back in the stroller and continued on with our walk. We've put Ethan in his stroller several times since then and he hasn't seemed to be traumatized by the even, so that's good!

Below are some recent pictures of life in the past couple of weeks for you to enjoy!

Tipping over!

Are we done yet?

Oh Julie~ He is just precious! I love those big chubby cheeks. We continue to keep Ethan in our prayers. He has our beautiful little angel watching over him, too.
