29 weeks!

Happy Thursday! Ethan is 29 weeks old today!

Mommy got put on call today so she got to stay home with the boys. We hung out this morning and Ethan had a cube of pears and rice cereal for breakfast. Yummy! He ate it all up. After naptime, Ethan went to Granny's so Mommy and Daddy could get some things done. While Daddy took Ethan to Granny's house, Mommy made Ethan some cantaloupe cubes from the fresh melon Dadddy bought. Mommy also had to work on reorganizing Ethan's clothes in his room. This boy has a ton of clothes!! It's sad going through his smaller clothes and having to pack them away. He still fits in his 0-3 onesies and most of the 3-6 months clothes, but then there are so many cute summer outfits we want him to get to wear, too! It is not fun doing laundry for a baby because you constantly have to sort through the sizes and weed things out!! Mommy also scored at Once Upon a Child over the weekend - they were having a summer clearance sale where you could get a bag full of goodies for $10 for anything that you could fit in the bag! Mommy got tons of shorts, tee shirts, and polos for Ethan, mostly for next summer. So Ethan's room currently has piles of clothes in all different sizes waiting to be put away... we need to get some spacesaver bags for all the small clothes we'll save for Baby G #2 in the (far) future!

Ethan was a bit fussy for Granny... he's become so much more aware of things, sometimes it's more difficult putting him down for naps without the swing. He's also been more fussy at bedtime - he used to go to sleep on his own if we put him down awake or drowsy, but the past few weeks, most nights he will fuss and need to be picked up and consoled or rocked before he will go to sleep. Mommy was reading today about 6 month olds having night-time separation anxiety, so that explains why this might be happening.

We went to the Village Green tonight after picking Ethan up to hear a Beatles tribute band, 8 Days a Week. We spread a blanket out on the grass by the water and the three of us enjoyed the gorgeous weather and fun music!

We've also discovered a new "activity" of Ethan's. He is a lot more active when he nurses and kicks and looks around a lot more. He likes to hold on and is pinching... and sometimes it hurts!! He has also been holding onto the nipples on his bottles while he is eating too. It's kind of funny, but we've got to teach him that he can't pinch!!
