6 months old

Ethan turned 6 months old on July 4th. Today he had his 6 month checkup. He weighed in at 18 pounds 12 ounces (75%) and his height was 28 1/4 inches (95%). He used to be 90% for weight and 75% for height. It looks like he thinning out some! He is such a happy baby, even the doctor commented on him being sociable :)

Ethan still can not sit up on his own. He loves going in the exersaucer and walker. He has two bottom teeth and is working on his top teeth. He still gets up multiple times during the night. The doctor said mommy needs to work on that. Overall, he is doing great :)

Awwww! I can't believe 6 months has passed so quickly!!!!

You know, he'll sleep through the night and do all the other stuff in his own time. :) It's funny but you're getting the milestones in reverse now. I always heard that "boys and girls are just different in their development" but now I see it firsthand. Corben does stuff different than his girl friends and I see it in Nevie with her doing stuff before Corben did at the same age. Ethan will do his thing in his time but try not to stress about it - there's nothing wrong with him. :) There's enough pressure from everyone, do you feel it? Man I do! I always have the friends who compare our kids and it's enough to send me to a padded room. :)

He was so cute in the exersaucer in the nursery on Sunday. He really wanted to spin the clear thing with little balls in it, but he just couldn't reach it. He would get so excited when someone would spin it for him. It was adorable!
