Ethan has had a very busy month of growing, playing, and
finally rolling over. He's an expert back-to-tummy roller, but has some difficulty rolling from his tummy to his back. So these days his favorite game is to roll onto his tummy and then yell for mom to roll him back over. Hmmm....hopefully he learns to roll back on his own soon. He loves to eat rice cereal with apple juice but isn't too thrilled with his first vegetable - peas. His expression when he tastes it is priceless! Other favorites this month include jumping in the bouncer (without a foot stool!); chewing on his feet; going on stroller rides; chewing on
everything in sight (darn teething); drinking water out of mommy's yellow cup; standing with help; kicking, chewing, and getting stuck in his crib bars (hence the new bumper pads); and staying up all night. Ethan is still up
several times a night (no matter what we've tried...and believe us - we've tried it all), so I guess he is just destine to be our little party animal. But no matter how little he sleeps at night or naps during the day, he is still a pretty happy baby - always, cooing, giggling, and smiling. He was especially happy to see uncle Dan, aunt Mary Jo, and cousins Jocelyn and Chelsey at Easter time!
