6 months... half of a year. It's amazing to think how fast time has flown by and how much Ethan has changed and developed over the last 6 months. We're having so much fun as parents :)
This month our little guy has hit some big milestones. He can now sit up on his own and roll over both ways. I think this officially is my favorite stage so far. It's so much fun to see him concentrating and figuring things out with his toys and just observing everything around him. I think he's going to be very self amused... which is how I was as a kid... he loves just sitting and playing and figuring out his toys. He has also noticed the dogs recently and I can just see him wishing to be able to chase after them. Watch out Boston and Waldo... lol.
He now prefers to sleep on either his side or back... it's so darn cute :)
A couple months ago he was all about his hands... well now his feet have become his favorite thing to play with and chew/suck on ... but his fingers are still a close second. :)
We've started him on baby food now and he LOVES it. We haven't encountered a food that he doesn't like yet. We're still nursing mainly and the food is just for practice but it's so fun seeing him experience different tastes and textures. Starting solids has extended his feeding time to every 4 hours so that's been nice. But we have encountered the change in diapers... yuck. I know...it's only the beginning.
We've battled some bronchitis this month ... uggg... it was the worst... but Ethan is doing much better now... he's back to his happy self.
We are so blessed to have such a happy baby...I'm SO thankful for that! I hope that doesn't mean we're in trouble... though I do think he's going to be quite a handful once he's mobile lol.
