Baby Ethan: Week 31



Weight: Unknown, but I've got to believe he's well over 16 pounds by now!

Health: Pretty healthy other than a stuffy nose.


Sleep: Hoping not to jinx myself here, but baby man is usually only waking once to nurse and then goes right back down.  I'll definitely take it!


Social: We got to escape to Scottsdale this past weekend which was wonderful!  Ethan's grandparents, great-grandma, and family friends were all there as well, so little man got lots of love and attention.  While it rained most of the time, we still managed to take Ethan in the pool {actually, jacuzzi} for the first time.  And I think Ethan enjoyed feeling his legs and feet for the majority of the trip as he was in onesies most of the time.  ;)

Diet: We've got a pretty wide variety of fruits and veggies going on.  Especially with being in Scottsdale, we depended on the Plum, Earth's Best, and Ella's Kitchen pouches.  Lots of fruits and veggie mixes...and Ethan likes them all!


Clothes: 9 month and 6-12 month pjs and 3-6/6 month onesies and pants.  And we're starting to move him to level 3 overnight diapers.

Baby Gear Love: We've started introducing the walker more to Ethan.  He's just able to touch the floor and scoot backwards.


Crying: Usually only when tired and fussy.

Likes: Pretty much the usual...putting all things in his mouth.  He's even mastered the art of taking out his pacifier and putting it in our mouths and then taking it back to put in his mouth.  Pretty darn cute!  :)

Postpartum: Still pumping and nursing when I'm with Ethan...still have about 5 pesky pounds to lose. But loving every minute of it...I NEVER thought I would nurse this long, but I really love the bond and since Ethan still takes to it, I think I'll continue to keep it up.





Milestones: First swim in the pool!  He loved it, of course.  He is our little water baby!  ;)  And Scottsdale marked his fourth plane ride...he's pretty well traveled!

  12. I always look forward to Wednesdays, so I can get an Ethan update. : )

    So glad you are still nursing too! I made it 14 months with my little guy, and I probably could have gone a little longer. So happy you all are healthy too!

    Have a good week.

  14. He looks like he had SO much fun in the water!! You don't look like you need to loose 5 lbs!! I've got 10 to loose, & they are hanging on for dear life lol. I LOVE his little red sweater!! It really brings out his skin tone :) He is so full & long now!! Like looking at a little boy instead of a baby, I can't believe how fast our little ones are growing up!! Matthew will be 6 months next week, AHH.
