Baby Ethan: Week 23



Weight: 13 pounds 8 ounces...which is 1 pound and 6 ounces over what he weighed at his 4 month appointment.  I am one happy mama over here!  :)



Health: Still happy and healthy!



Sleep: We had a couple rough nights in our transition back from Thanksgiving, but we're getting back into a routine.  Usually waking up twice a night {around midnight and 4-6am}.



Social: We've been happily decorating for Christmas and listening to Christmas music!  While I'm not the best at singing nursery rhymes, I have NO problem belting out Christmas music!  Ethan will like all things Christmas...oh yes he will!



Diet: Still breastmilk...about 6-7 ounces when he gets it from a bottle.

Clothes: 3-6 months in most clothes...though some 6-9 too!



Baby Gear Love: With baby becoming more and more interactive...we're getting lots of use out of his toys.  He really loves his activity mat and jumperoo!  He also likes the Lifefactory teether {I think teething is in our near future!} and really any hanging toy that vibrates when he pulls on it.  Maybe we need to look into vibrating teethers?!

Crying: Just when he's tired.




Likes: Smiling and laughing!  He cracks up at practically anything.  And I can't lie...little man lights up when he sees me when I pick him up from work and I just love it.  He also LOVES to kick.  And baths.

Postpartum: I think the hair loss is starting to lessen...thank goodness!



Milestones: Ethan's getting close to scooting when on tummy time.  Other than that...the constant and hysterical laughing is pretty new!  And he'll lock eyes with me across the room.  His hand-eye coordination has developed immensely!
