Our little cutie pie is now 3 months old! It is so hard for me to believe how quickly time seems to be flying by. Ethan is such a great baby. He is happy and snuggly and looks to have Dad's humor like Ryan already. He has the sweetest smile and a precious laugh. I already love him so much and can't imagine him not being a part of our family. He overall seems to be fairly laid back and can be put off some unlike his brother at this phase. He has slept through the night a handful of times, but isn't consistent and seems to change up his schedule weekly. We had the biggest changes to his sleeping schedule after I dealt with mastitis again this month. An average night is going to bed around 7:30pm and sleeping 6-8hrs to his first feeding and then will nurse again in 3-4 hrs. He is usually up between 7:30-8am each morning regardless of feeding times. He typically naps around 10am for an hour, sometimes two, then either two more 1 hr naps throughout the afternoon or one 2-3hr nap starting around 1/1:30pm.
Accomplishments for Ethan this month included rolling over from his tummy to his back (Dec 13), laughing (week before Thanksgiving), and grasping his rattle and other toys on his bouncer. He is really aware of the people around him and follows us around the room. He has great neck/head control and has started to enjoy tummy time a little more as well as pulling up to a sitting position and even standing some. He is especially fond of his big brother and is already finding him amusing and will smile or laugh when he sees him. I am thinking these two boys will be best buds as time progresses. I am a little nervous that Ethan's laughing at Ryan may prompt some unwanted behaviors though. Ryan is going to LOVE all the attention Ethan gives him, I can tell already.
Regarding sizes, Ethan is wearing 3-6 month clothing and 6 months in his sleepers. He is finishing out our last bag of size 1 diapers and then we are switching to our size 2's. On Dec 18th he had an outpatient surgery at USMD FW where they performed his circumcision with a small correction. He did great and is currently still recovering with some fussiness, but overall is doing good. During pre-op they took his measurements and he was 15 lbs with his clothes and diaper on and 25.25inches long! Our sweet boy is growing fast and is sure to be tall like brother and his Daddy! I am trying to soak in each moment with our sweet boy, but I also look forward to watching him grow and change each month. What a blessing Ethan is to us. Thank you, Lord!
