Ethan is 4 months old!!

Ethan turned 4 months today. Boy has it gone fast. We were at the doctor last Friday and he weighs 19 lbs 8 oz and is 27 1/2 inches tall. He is still off the charts for height and weight, but I think we are getting closer.

We also are on a dairy free diet at our house. The doctor thinks he has a dairy sensitivity (getting that through me - he's not drinking cow's milk). We found this out because he has been having blood in his diapers. The thought is that he will out grow it by the time he is one. I sure hope so. We love ice cream in our house. It's more hard on me that it is him. He seems fine otherwise, but I can't eat any dairy, which is hard to determine when you eat out. For example, I found a website that has info on fast food restaurants and lots of french fries are items not to eat. Can you believe it? I can't eat french fries, ice cream or pizza. What else is there?

He's obviously doing well though, growing like a weed. He's not rolling over yet, but has made a few attempts at it. He has a new trick that I will post a video of shortly.

Our Weekend

Being back at work is a little sad, but I think it makes me much more appreciative of the time I have with Ethan. We had a funfilled weekend.
We did some tummy time... making good progress...thanks to Grandma Fuersich.

We got out the highchair - we are getting used to it before the real food comes - and he can watch us make dinner.


And of course he enjoyed his favorite nightly activity.
