Baby Ethan: Week 36



Before I get started...isn't that bowtie cute?!  The sweet and talented Sarah of Krew Arthur sent one along for Ethan...just in time for Easter!  Check out her selection on Instagram @krewarthur

Weight: Unknown but should be well over 16 pounds by now.  We'll find out his official weight on April 1st!


Health: A little runny nose and a cough...could be from teething or a cold, but nothing major.  

Sleep: The last couple of nights have been tough.  He's been waking every couple hours, but he usually goes right back down after nursing or getting a bottle.  He's also been taking a morning and afternoon nap.


Social: Ethan got to see his buddies Beckett and Eden this past weekend.  He is becoming more and more engaged with babies around his age!


Diet: Breastmilk and formula and more and more solids.  He's able to eat whole blueberries now and he LOVES Baby Mum Mums.  It's amazing to see how much he's developed with regard to food.  He can hold his own food so well now and his hand-to-mouth coordination is great!


We also gave him some of the protein pancakes which he wolfed down!

Clothes: 9 month and 6-12 jammies and still wearing 6 month onesies/pants.  Also still in 2 diapers.


Baby Gear Love: Still loving anything that lights up and makes noise.  We just got him the fun keys and parum pum pum drum set and he's loving both!

Crying: When he's tired mainly.


Likes: Baths!  We tried out the big tub and he loved it.

Postpartum: I'm sure this is TMI, but my monthly visitor finally decided to make her return.  Sad day!


Milestones: We're ALMOST crawling!!  He gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.  And he loves to stand.  I predict we'll be crawling by next week's update!

  17. So cute!! Cam is doing great with food, too. We have been giving him Pirate Bootie, waffles and mac and cheese...he loves everything we give him! Oh, he also started pulling himself up in his crib...watch out for that! Talk about scary/exciting at the same time!! :)

  23. He is just so cute. My son Henry LOVES the mum-mums too. We make sure they are always stocked in the diaper bag so we have a guaranteed 10 minutes of distractedness while out to eat or in the car. If he's upset, give him one and he's happy instantly, it's kind of hilarious.

  25. What a cute little man!! Question: was it scary introducing more solid foods (ie non-puréed?) to Ethan? I'm so nervous about it,,,how did you get him to chew it without gagging or anything like that? Thanks!!

    1. For us, it just kind of evolved! The puffs are great b/c they melt right in his mouth. And then you can test other things out in small quantities. Do what feels best...you know better than anyone!!
