Baby Ethan: 27 Weeks

Weight: I'm guessing around 15 pounds or so?  We find out at his 6 month appointment on Monday.

Health: Baby Boy has had a stuffy nose, so the Nosefrida is being used in full force, which Ethan hates!  But it usually works.  

Sleep: Eh, we're back to waking up 2-3 times a night.  I'm thinking we need to reassess his bedtime routine, now that the holidays are over.

Social: Ethan got to spend lots of time with his Aunt Lauren and her fiance this past week...along with some other family and friends.  It's a good thing he's a social one, because we've had a lot of later nights and tons of holding and interaction!

 Oo this feels good on my gums!

 Mmm avocado!

Hey lady!  I'm ready for some more food!

Diet: Breastmilk most of the time...with supplemented formula when I'm at work.  And we've started solids in the last two weeks!  So far he's had baby oatmeal, sweet potatoes and butternut squash.  I also gave him some avocado and cucumber to gum on.  He hasn't met anything he doesn't like, so far.  We're trying to hold off on introducing fruits for a couple more weeks, since they are sweet.  I'm sure he'll LOVE them though!  :)

Clothes: I finally packed away his 3-6 month clothes, along with all of his holiday outfits.  It's always so sad packing them away.  He's wearing 6 month outfits and some 6-9.  Can't believe how big he's getting!

Baby Gear Love: Ethan loves anything that has music {some favorites are the musical activity walker, learn and discover driver, and the tried and true jumperoo}.  He also loves the B. blocks!  Oh and now that we're in full-swing solid mode, we're loving our OXO tot sprout chair.

Crying: Oh, you know...just around 2, 4 and 6am.  No biggie.

Likes: FOOD!  This little boy loves his food and it's been so much fun watching him scarf it down.  And...as usual, anything he can fit in his mouth. 

Postpartum: I'm glad the holidays are over and I can refocus on my fitness routine.  No excuses now, right?!

Milestones: Starting solids at 6 months was a big milestone that we're still enjoying!  Also, Ethan is starting to mouth words when he cries or coos.  I swear he said "mama" but it was while he was crying and it broke my heart.  Not ready for that yet!!
