Movin’ on up

Thursday, Jan 8, 2009
Ethan is movin on up in this world. He no longer sits in his carrier when we go places in his stroller he has taken to sitting face forward. Ethan likes to see where he is going when he's on the move. He is also no longer riding in his carrier in shopping carts he is now riding like a big boy in shopping carts.
Ethan has also started to increase the amount of food he is eating. He was eating 1 fruit & 1 vegetable 2x a day. Each container is 2.5oz. He is now wanting to eat 2 fruits & vegetables 2x a day. We have moved up to the Gerber 2nd foods b/c those are just bigger containers. He won't be eating meats till he's 9 mos. Ethan is closer to 15lbs if not over that & he's growing so fast. It's no wonder that he needs to eat more.
Ethan's bottom 2 teeth have pretty much come completely through now. Let me tell you those are some sharp teeth! He loves to sink his teeth into our fingers of course he knows better than to do that to himself. He's a little bundle of something. Ethan has also started sitting up on his own. Most times he only sits on his own for a few short secs but he has his moments where he goes for a few mins. He is also pushing himself up with his arms when he is on his belly. Not long from now he will be off to the races crawling & getting into all kinds of things. We have already put up baby gates & have our electrical outlets covered in prep for the day that he takes off.
I'll be posting some new pictures soon there are some on the camera that need to be put onto the computer. I have been trying to post some video but have had some problems due to the format of the videos. I will keep trying & as soon as I figure it out the videos will be posted. If anyone hasn't done so check out my links section. I have been following some other stories of some amazing preemies whose stories should be shared.
