Ethan is growing so fast!!

At over 2 months old now, he is growing so quickly! It amazes me so much how smart he already is. I love how he lays there and stares at me. He knows his Mommy, and he shows me each day how much he loves me. I am so in love with these boys. Wow......I have never known I could love so deeply and truely before. These kids have a piece of my heart that I didnt even know existed. Each day that goes by, these boys make me laugh, and our bond as family just grows and grows.

I never thought the day would come where I would say that Zach is finally starting to adjust to Ethan being around. I think he gets that he isnt going home, or leaving... and he has to. So now, Zach calls him "E" and yells "E" all the time. He is always checking on him in his swing, and if ethan doesnt have a pacifier in his mouth, Zach will try to help him. He has not hit him, or tried to hit him recently, which is a good thing. When someone asks where the baby is, he yells "Babyyyyyy" and points to Ethan. So, I think things are going better, as Ethan gets older.

Ethan has come to the age of batting at things infront of him, and grabbing onto me, and never letting go. He likes to grab my hair, and locks on to the point it takes someone else to come unclasp his hand. What a strong peanut he is! He looks at his mommy and just gives me that look like, Hi Mommy............I know exactly who you are, .... and everything about you!! He has studied long and hard! I just love this time as they are small and mighty!

Ethan saw a nutritionist the other day, which said that he is ok to start on cereal. She said if he is tolerating it in his bottles to weigh it down so the acid reflux doesnt come up, then he could try some in a bowl, with a spoon and see how he tolerates it. He has done well!! No throwing any of it up so far. And also seems to have helped him sleep through the night more. 1st night on it, he went to sleep at 9pm, and didnt get up til 5:30am the next morning! Josh was wondering if he was alright!! :) I said Daddy--- those days are coming to an end of being up all night with our little peanut. Awe....................as much as I hate not getting enough sleep.............that was when him and I spent some of our closest moments!! My peanut is getting bigger and bigger as the days go on! Keep up the good work buddy............... cause you are going to be a strong and mighty little boy, just like your big brother! You two amaze me each day!

<3 Mommy
