Better bath time!

Ethan is finally starting to really enjoy bathtime in the big bathtub. Every time we have been putting him in the regular bathtub, he would freak out and start crying and try to climb out. I thought it was the blow up rubber ducky tub, but we took it out and he was doing it in the regular tub, too. So, tonight he did great... he talked, played with his tub toys and splashed all over the place! He has always loved the water and loved baths in the sink, so we couldn't figure out why he was so freaked out by the tub.

We noticed Ethan coughing today, and with his afternoon nap he was very fussy and kept putting his fingers in his mouth, so his teeth must be bothering him. He was also running a temp of 100.1 then 101.6, so we gave him some Tylenol and Orajel which seemed to help. We also tried a new trick that Grandpa Jim told us about - putting Vick's on his feet and then putting his socks on. Hopefully that will help with his cough, and hopefully it won't turn into anything else! I have read some horror stories about this stomach bug that is going around with a lot of the kids and mommies on The Nest, so we are trying to keep this house illness free :) I am freaked out about it to say the least!!

Donald and Franni surprised us and stopped by for a "drive by Christmas" - LOL :) They came in for a short visit and stopped by to see us before they headed out. They got Ethan this super cute little radio that has little cd's to put in and it plays instrumental music. Ethan took to it right away pressing the buttons and dancing! I think it is a hit :) Thanks, guys!!
