Month Two

Ethan enjoying curling. He loved watching his first Olympics.

Ethan is two months old now. We went to the doctor this morning and along with four shots, she said everything looked good, and Ethan was doing well. He is 10 pounds and has grown an inch since his last doctor’s visit—thanks to the growth spurt during the last week. Here are a few more things that have happened in the last month…

• Ethan has found his lungs—and he is good at using them. Along with the lungs, he has “real” tears when he throws his fits.


• Ethan is sleeping well at night, an average 5 and half hours stretch before waking up to eat. He has figured out how to put himself back to sleep at night.—which I am really thankful for. He is also sleeping well during the day, lots of little cat naps, but usually a long stretch of time in the middle of the day.


• He LOVES his crib mobile. It is really cute to watch him giggle and giggle as it turns in circles.


• Ethan has also figured out that the fan turns in circles, too. He watches it along with the light—thank goodness we have a fan in each room of our house.


• Ethan is able to hold his head up at least at a 45 degree angle when he is on his belly. He loves for us to hold him the standing position. He is a great “stander”—it is really cute to see his head bobble—it looks like his is dancing.


• He has started “talking” more. He responds to my questions, and we have some great conversations while he is on the changing table.
