Ethan: Six Weeks Old

Oh how I love this little boy!

At six weeks:

Ethan loves looking at ceiling fans and the white/navy contrast in his room

He's not a big fan of his car seat, unless he's tired then he can snuggle in and take a good nap

He is sleeping pretty good at night, at least a 3 1/2 to 4 hour stretch...now we just need to work on going right back to sleep rather than wanting to party from 2 to 4am!

His acne has all but cleared up and his furrowed brow seems to be getting a big better...the baby botox must be working.

Has intense gas and poops...tight tummy, lots of screams

He rolled over from front to back at 5 weeks.  He has a very strong neck and can pretty much hold his weight on his legs.  My CrossFit peeps like to attribute this to CrossFit. 

He eats a lot.  Every couple of hours.  We are trying to give him a bottle a day so I'm not stuck like I was with my girls.  He doesn't love it, but he'll take it.

Just like his sister London, he doesn't love a binkie either.  If he's fussy, I can wrap him up and hold him in close and once he starts sucking that binkie, his eyes roll back and he calms down.  However, he won't just take it otherwise, he'll just pop it right back out.

His sisters are completely in love with him...always asking to see him, kiss him, hold him, etc.  London covers her ears anytime he cries.  She also talks to him in a really high voice and says the same thing over and over and over.  Her latest phrase is, "Hi handsome boy."  It used to be, "Don'tcha" ???  Ya, I didn't quite get that one either.

Perspective on the above picture

 Ethan LOVES baths.  He can be screaming and if I put him in the water he immediately stops.  He just figured out how to kick his legs and splash the water everywhere, so we will not be bathing him on the counter anymore.
