15 Months

Look what a big boy I am...

Eating with a spoon is overrated!!!

So Ethan is now 15 months!!! Here are his new stats: 31 inches long (50% percentile) and 20 pounds 15 ounces (7% percentile). So you can tell from hearing his stats that he is tall and skinny. We are trying to teach him to eat from a bowl with a spoon, and as you can see it is going great!!! I think we need to feed him outside with a tarp below him. Ethan is keeping us on our toes, he is constantly climbing on everything, he has many bruises all over his shins. The doctor said that usually babies his age have bruises on their heads, and they don't bruises on their shins usually until 2-3 years old. Nope, our little one has them because he is a monkey. But despite his climbing skills he is still a very good baby. Sleeping 10 hours at night and taking naps that total 3-4 hours during the day. I will be off soon from work and can enjoy taking him to the park and other places!!!

Charlee Marie

This past Saturday we went to Orange County to visit my cousin and the new addition to the family Charlee Marie. We had a wonderful time and were so glad to meet the bundle of joy. I was able to hold her for a while, it was so nice. It is hard to believe that Ethan was that small not that long ago.

Gymboree

Singing in a circle

Wrong way buddy

This weekend Ethan started in a Gymboree class. It was the first time he had been around so many kids in such a little room. He was having a good time until he hurt his hand, and then everything went down hill from there. He was trying to leave the gym the whole time, and crying. When the instructor would start singing or an activity he would cry. He was also keeping a close eye on me, he would run to me and hug my leg. This was so out of character for Ethan, hopefully this Saturday he will be more adjusted to the people.
