5 Months Old

Monday, Nov 3, 2008

Ethan is now 5 mos old! Time has sure flown by. He had a great time on his 1st Halloween. We didn't dress him up this year. Not going to until he's a little older & can enjoy trick or treating. Ethan just sat outside on the porch with us & helped to pass out candy. He conked out for a half hour around 7:00. He has had a few milestones already. Sunday Ethan sat in his high chair & ate some rice cereal for the 1st time & later on in the day actually held his bottle w/o assistance for about 15 secs. He has gone beyond the cuddling stage & is more into sitting up & trying to stand. He likes to watch Spongebob during his meal time & has a blast playing with the baby in the mirror (he really thinks that's something). Ethan is full of smiles now. He has the cutest smile that just lights up his face. We keep him on a regular schedule now. He gets up with his daddy every weekday around 4/5 in the morning for a bottle, gets his mommy up about 8/9 for breakfast, plays on his play mat, naps about 10/11, has his lunch around 12, more playtime, naps around 1/2 & when he gets up he's all excited to find that his daddy is home from work. Getting up in the morning is always worth it because Ethan always greets us with a huge smile on his face. He has become quite a busy little boy.
