5 Months

Our little man is getting big! Ethan is already 5 months old as of last week. Time really is flying by and he is doing all sorts of new baby things.

Ethan is laughing pretty regularly now at and making all sorts of great new noises as he talks to us. He's also figured out that he can just call out to us. Instead of crying he very calmly moans until I go get him. It's like he's saying ' hello... mom... mom... mom.... I want to get up now... mom...". 

Ethan is starting to sit, mostly with a little help but he is starting to figure it out and he can balance on his own for a short bit. He's really excited to sit and be able to get to more things.

He's really anxious to me mobile. He hasn't figured out crawling or anything yet. But he tries to dive for things that are just out of his reach, he'll lean as far as he can to grab things and will roll to get to toys etc. He also wiggles and some how turns himself 180 degrees or so on his back while he's playing to get to different toys.

He's really getting interested in food! He wants to stick his hands in our food and is increasingly interested in what we're eating. He's wanting to try more and more things in his mouth. He loves sucking on different things and exploring new flavors. 

We may have an outdoor adventure kid on our hands. He loves sucking on the mouth piece for our camelback. He's not a fan of bottles or pacifiers but loves the camelback.

He is growing tons, he's at 12 lbs 5.5oz and is still long and lean. He's wearing a lot of 6mo onsies, the fit great length wise but are still baggy in the chest. Although in pants he's in 3mo. Long torso - short legs I guess.

Everyday he does something new that just amazes us. He is growing so quickly and it's an absolute delight to watch as he learns new things he can do and all about the world around him. We are so proud of Ethan and love our little man!
