Ethan continues to grow and amaze us each day. He brings so much joy into our lives (and less sleep and free time, but the trade off is worth it!) Here is an update of what we have been up to in the last month.

This is one of my favorite parts of the day...I love seeing him smile first thing in the morning. Here's the normal routine:

He starts by making some noises so I know that he's ready for us to come get him...

We unwrap him and he makes a BIGGGGG stretch...
Still stretching...
Then it's all SMILES! I just love it!
We've been busy learning and growing this month. Despite his despise of tummy-time, we are finally making progress. Now he lifts his head every time we put him on his tummy instead of just lying there and putting his fist in his mouth.

We've also been working on sitting up using the Bumbo chair and anything he can be propped up against. You can tell by his face hear that he's not super impressed by this view of the world...

Ethan has gotten a lot more curious about the things around him in the last month. One day when I was folding his diapers he kept reaching for them...I figured this meant he wanted to help me do the laundry so I let him have at it!! I'll take all of the help I can get.

In the last month, Ethan has also gotten a lot better at gripping, holding and reaching for things, including his toys.

I thought these were so funny because he looked like he was actually talking on the phone...I guess he better get good at that with grandparents who live far away, not to mention good buddies! Pictures from our recent trip home are soon to come!!
