What a big boy

Saturday, Feb 28, 2009

Ethan is getting to be such a big boy! Last night he stood on his own holding onto his baby einstein grow with me toy. Matt had stood him up but Ethan held his own as long as he had something to hold on to. Every day it seems like he does something new. It's amazing how quickly he has grown. On Tues he will be 9 mos which doesn't seem possible. This afternoon I was packing away his clothes that he has outgrown into space saver bags. As I was putting his preemie clothes away I held them up & couldn't help but aww. It's hard to believe looking at him now that he was that tiny! Ethan is at least 16 lbs now I'll find out his weight on Tues when the nurse comes to give him his last Synagis shot. Ethan is still working on figuring out how to crawl. He's really good at getting around though via rolling. If I place something a few inches out of his reach he will find away to get it in his hands. He scoots himself across the floor either on his tummy or on his back. He manages to gain a lot of ground somehow when he is on his back.
Later in the evening Ethan was playing in his jumperoo then all of a sudden he just fell asleep. About 5 mins later he woke up & started jumping again like nothing had happened then after a few mins he conks out again. After a quick 15 min nap he startes bouncing again only to fall asleep again a few mins later. Ethan ended up taking a nice little 20 min nap in his bouncer. It was so cute the way he would suddenly wake up, bounce, then suddenly fall asleep. Of course everything that Ethan does is cute.
