One Month

DSC_0285-1edited

Ethan turned one month old on Wednesday.  We celebrated by having Shauna, Lily, Eli and Mom over for a playdate.  It was chaotic with the four kids but it was fun too.  I’m curious how it will work out without Mom there to watch Luke and Lily while Shauna and I take care of Ethan and Eli.  There’s no telling what they will get into. 

Ethan is still a good baby.  Naps seem to be our one weak area.  If he is being held, he sleeps great, but we are working on putting him down for naps so I can get stuff done and have time with Luke.  At night he gets swaddled, eats and goes to sleep easily in his bassinet.  He will go almost 4 hours for that first stretch and then it is 3 hours every time after that.  Can you tell that I am obsessed with his sleep?? :) But it could be a lot worse.  I am still just thankful that we can put him down at night instead of holding him all night like we did with Luke.

Overall, he is a happy little guy and doesn’t cry unless he is hungry or over stimulated.  He is not a big fan of his carseat….yet….I’m hoping that will change.

Here are some photos I took of him at one month:

Sweet, sweet little Ethan. I love his hair and eyes. I know he takes after Mark in that last picture. Mark ALWAYS hated to have his picture taken!!

Keep those pictures coming.
Much love to my newest little angel,
