I am so bad at keeping up with these monthly posts.  Ethan will be turning 4 months old on March 22nd, so I need to get this one posted.  It will be short and sweet.  I have been doing a great job at taking his picture with the monthly sticker on the correct day.

- Weighs about 11 lbs

- Size 1 diapers

- Size 0-3/3 months clothes

- Cooing A LOT!  The little man loves to talk like his momma!

- Started sucking on his left thumb (maybe a lefty like daddy?)

- Sleeping through the night more often (9pm-7/8am)

- LOVES to stand on our laps

- Very much a Mommy's boy

- Not so much a fan of the paci anymore

- Still loves bath time

Ethan was not too happy during our photo shoot

2 months...

...better late than never!

Ethan turned 2 months old on January 22nd!

He is the sweetest little boy ever and so full of personality.  At his 2 month well-baby visit he was 9lbs 14oz (7th %) and 21.75" long (8th %).  He got his shots at this visit but was a trooper and didn't cry for very long after.  I'm so glad that he didn't spike a fever or had any reaction.  He wasn't even fussy that evening (his appointment was at 4pm).

 Love those big blue eyes.

- Size 1 diapers

- Size 0-3 months clothes

- Eating every 3 hours during the day and getting up once at night

- Nurses about 20 minutes on each side at each feeding

- Takes a 4 oz bottle for his middle of the night feeding while I pump

- Great napper and sleeper at night

- Still loves sleeping on his belly (we have an angel care movement monitor)

- I left Ethan with Dean for the first time while I ran to Target

- Forced to leave him for 3 nights while I was in the hospital :(

-He has become such a better nurser which makes this Momma so happy!  I'm still taking Fenugreek to help with my supply and it seems to be very helpful.

- You never fuss unless you're hungry or sleepy

Dean picked this onesie up from Walmart. It took us a while to see the typo. Daughters is not spelled correctly. Oh Walmart...


Little Man loves sitting in this bumbo seat that we borrowed from a friend.
