Ethan is 5 Months Old

He's rolling over from front to back, back to front, multiple times, and is ticked off whenever he gets stuck up against furniture. He's also sitting up straighter (still with support) and jumping like a maniac in his jumperoo. And perhaps cutest of all... he's figured out how to grab both of his feet by hooking his chubby little fingers under his toes. Mommy loves this little chubber man.

And Big Sister can't get enough of him either!

Gems

Here are a few darling things I don't want to forget...

"Come back, wubbie duckies! Come back!" (Katie calling her rubber duckies back as they float away in the bath.)

Ethan giggles and smiles SO big when I put him down and say "Night. night."

Every time Ethan wakes up from a nap he smiles at his big sister and she says "Hode 'em" (Hold him) as she reaches out to him.

When we drove separately from Travis, the whole way home Katie said "See yater." (See ya later.)

Little Bookworm

This is how Katie entertained herself while Mommy made dinner.

Mommy's Helper

I'm sure you can guess the name of the helper...

Happy Boy

I love it when Mommy and Daddy help me stand up like a big boy. It's so fun!

There's a First time for Everything

Last Friday Katie finally sat on her own at story time. She actually listened to the first couple of pages with undivided attention. Then, she started looking over at me (which is what she's doing here). So cute!

What a big girl! (That's her bff Charlotte next to her.)

Entertaining My Little Bro

I have so much fun "helping" my little brother play in the jumperoo! (Excuse the crazy hair. I just woke up from a nap.)

Just Chillin'

Mommy can't get enough of these cheeks!

Guess What Ethan Learned to Do?!

Here's the little guy rolling over for only the second time in his life!

First Tats

Mommy found these temporary tattoos in a drawer yesterday. We picked out our faves and stuck em on.

Giant Coloring Pages

One of the many new things I came back from California with. Thanks, Grandma! By the way: I'm 23 months old now. Watch out, 2. Here I come!

Eating My Toys

While Daddy and Katie were away I learned how to put toys in my mouth- sort of. (Hopefully soon we'll be able to post pics of Daddy and Katie's trip to Cali.)

Big Boy's 4 Month Check Up

Even though Ethan has been 4 months old for a week now, we waited for his doctor to return from maternity leave to have his check up. She said he's doing great!

Weight: 19 lb 11.5 oz (> 97%)
Length: 25 in (50%)
Head Circumference: 16 3/4 in (50%)

Busy Little Boy

While Daddy and Big Sister are away, Ethan and Mommy are running lots of errands and having fun shopping. This was Ethan's first time riding up front in the double stroller. He loved it!

He had so much fun checking himself out in the dressing room mirror.
