Ethan

So, Ethan is now four months old.  He’s just over 14 pounds and about 27 inches long.  For those of you not sitting in front of a baby growth chart, that is about 50th percentile for weight and 90th for length.

I’m still breastfeeding him and plan to continue until I get pregnant again.  Ethan is a very quick and efficient eater, so it’s actually more convenient to breastfeed.   I’ve learned so much these last few months and can’t wait for baby number two because I’ll actually know what I’m doing right out of the gate.

Every day he seems more aware and able to communicate with us.  He has been a joy to have around since day one, but he is especially fun now that he can sit and stand up (with a bit of help .  He seems much happier now that he’s more independent.  We found a carrier he likes, which is wonderful.  He’s not the type of kid to just lay around, and he isn’t big on daytime naps, so it is very helpful to have him in a carrier part of the day.
