Time Flies!

We can't believe Ethan is almost 7 weeks old. He is getting so big. At his 1 month appointment he was 11 lbs 11 oz (90 percentile) and 24 inches (95 percentile)! He has settled into a routine and for the most part does a 5-6 hour stretch at night followed by a 4 hour stretch after that. He still sleeps in a bassinet next to our bed, but Ryan has been petitioning to move him into his own room soon since he is such a noisy sleeper. I think all the little grunts, squeals and snorts are cute but I don't hear it at night like Ryan does. Last night, we got him ready for bed by swaddling him and put him in his bassinet where he just laid there contently for 1/
2 hour before falling asleep. We are lucky that he does so well at night, since during the day he hates been put down to sleep in his crib or bassinet and will scream if he is in there. So most morning he takes a nap on our bed propped up by pillows since he likes to be on his side and in the afternoon he takes a long nap in his swing. I guess he has been spoiled by all the visitors and prefers to fall asleep in someones arms. This is something we definitely have to work on. Here are some pictures of Ethan during the last few weeks.


He has already done some traveling, when he was 4 weeks old we took him to Vermont for Ryan's winter break. Rebecca came to visit and got to see him for the first time. Ryan got to go snowboarding while we stayed in the cozy lodge. My cousin and his family came to visit and we were surprised to see that Ethan and Leland(who is 8 months old) had the same outfit on!


His Grandparents from Maryland came up soon after he was born and a few weeks later his grandma came up again with his Uncle Nathan and Aunt Ashley.


Ethan loves bath time, he cries when we take him out (though that maybe because he gets cold out of the water!)


He has gone to visit his great-grandma, Granny with his cousin Jack.


We love his crazy hair!


I finally got around to making his baby announcement and sent them out last week.
