Grabbing his feet...

Ethan has been grabbing at his feet for awhile now, but he is becoming really good at holding on and is almost able to bring them to his mouth. Between this, rolling, and twisting, diaper changing is becoming an adventure!

He still likes to put everything into his mouth, but sometimes he licks it (which is a new thing), instead of trying to bite. It's really funny to see him stick out his tongue and lick a blanket, your shirt, your fingers, etc. Here he is playing with his tongue...

Losing his hair...

Our little one is losing his hair! He has more in the back, but it's pretty bare up top now. It almost lightened up from black to light brown. I can't believe how different he looks now compared with the day he was born. I am definitely loving the chubby arms and chins!

Dad the "Lounge Chair"...

Ethan decided to use Dad as a lounge chair. It's so cute to see Ethan light up whenever Pat is near... I love watching the two of them together!

Cousins...

Ethan and his cousin, David Jr., hung out for the first time on Thanksgiving. He is a few months older than Ethan and can sit up. Neither one of them see other babies very often, so they just kept staring at each other. I love seeing babies a few months older than Ethan, so I know what to expect and it's fun to picture him at that age.

Sweet sleeping baby...

I love watching Ethan sleep and it's so hard not to take pictures (which usually wake him up). It seems like we've finally got him on a good nap and sleep schedule. He now sleeps great in his crib, which has always been a challenge at naptime. He sleeps through the night about 80% of the time and from what I hear, thats pretty good for this age. He'll be 5 months old in just a few days!

He had a great 1st Thanksgiving and was hardly fussy at all (something I am VERY thankful for!). I've been doing lots of Christmas shopping and it's been fun planning out his Christmas presents.

Rolling again!

Ethan rolled for the first time over a month ago, but since then he has only done it a handful of times. We got these foam mats today, thinking it would help him grip better and it must make a difference, because he immediately rolled over again! Here he is hanging out on the couch, mid-roll, and chewing on his hands afterwards. Love this little guy! :)

Dressed in his Sunday best...

We were late for church on Sunday, because we couldn't stop taking pictures of our adorable baby! I got the chance to iron his first button-down shirt and we attempted to take some photos. He is quickly bored sitting still, but loves to stand and jump. You can see the joy on his face!
