Ethan: Eight Months Old

Have I mentioned how much we love this little guy?
Still my happiest, smiliest, snuggliest little buddy yet!

Ethan & Gma Carlson


He is eating almost anything with those 8 chompers, including watermelon rinds.

He's become a big fan of the "Jonny Jumper."  

He LOVES his Dad!  Jonathan has been super busy for the past couple months with work and school which means he doesn't see the kids for a couple of days during the week.  When he is home, Ethan will not take his eyes off of him. 
 
Other tricks include a pretty impressive "motorboat" mouth.  He does it out of frustration when I am changing his diaper, but then once the girls started doing it to him, he answered right back. 
He is still nursing but I am working on weaning him...those eight teeth are killing me.
He has good weeks of sleep and not-so-good weeks, usually related to being congested, having an ear infection, getting teeth, etc.
He is happy in his carseat mostly because I've refined the art of reaching my arm directly behind the driver seat to give him something to munch on.  I need to upgrade to a bigger carseat since his legs are way too long for the baby one we have now.
 
He brings us so much joy and I just couldn't imagine our little family without our little (BIG) Ethan!
