I posted all the most recent pix in the last blog, so here is one of Ethan & his cousin Caleb from a while back!
Ethan is finally rolling over! He’s 4 and a half months & has been doing it consistently for a few days now. Ok, Diella went from tummy to back at 3 months old, and then back to tummy, not until 6 months old. Well, Ethan just still will not go from tummy to back, but he’s going back to tummy, which I thought was the more difficult one! (Although Ethan’s size a few weeks ago is how big Diella was when she was six months, so… ).. yea, He’s getting to be a little champ at it too! Especially today! Was doing it only maybe once a day, but today he has done it over & over!
He’s also reaching for things, and even usually can grab onto what he’s reaching for! Like, I will hold his binky in front of his face, and sometimes he’ll jus grab my hands & pull them towards him with his mouth open, until binky is in, hehe… but other times he’ll go after the binky itself, then I let go & he’s got it in his hand, and then puts it in his mouth, cool! … He also reaches for the remote, which I have found is his favorite thing! He looks at it like it’s the coolest thing he’s ever seen! And he reaches for that too, in fact, that’s part of how he got good at rolling over, we put remote just out of his reach, so he would go after it & he does!
He is such a “simple things” baby! Just the littlest things amuse him, like gasping & smiling…. Or peek a boo… jus little things, its cute!
You can tell that he cannot wait to eat real food! He watches us eat like, “Mmmm, that. Looks. Goooood! Can I have some!!??” hehehe… Ahna said one day he watched her fork from the plate to her mouth, back & forth, over & over, hehehe
A few times when he’s laying on the floor & I’m talking to him, he shakes his head back & forth, smiling… and a few times, its like right after I asked him a question, and its almost like he’s shakin his head no, hehe, of course, not for real, but when it happens and it fits, its just so funny how coincidental it was!
We’ve discovered a few things. Ethan is just not hungry in the mornings. He’s up at around 4:30 in the morning to eat, every day. And wakes up for the day around 8 o’clock. Well, I’ve noticed that if I try to feed him right away, he just wont eat. So I usually wait til 9 to feed him, and he does eat then, but usually only a little bit, like on one side, and then a little on the other & be done. Then he waits a whole nother 3 full hours to eat again! Its crazy!
And Jake discovered that when Ethan is tired, and I have already put him down & he has a binky, Jake will lay a pillow on his belly & he falls right to sleep. He likes that, and now Jake does it to him all the time, I think its cute!
