I was home with Ethan for about four and a half months. Wouldn't you know that for my first day back he discovers his toes. I guess it's okay that Josh got to see one of his tricks before me.Oh and this picture was totally staged. This is really from September 8th but I just wanted to show you how cute he his grabbing those little toes.

Ethan's first food on a spoon.We tried rice cereal for the first time on this day. Ethan has been getting some in his bottle for the past month or so at night to help fill his little tummy up. He was not at all impressed with it. I am sure he will catch on soon though.
Random cute shot

Yesterday, he was sortof sitting on his own. As you can see, he is hunched over quite a bit but I think it still counts as sitting. He stayed like this for quite a while. Emma was very impressed with this new trick and kept asking if Ethan could do his trick again.
September 8, 2008Today was quite a busy day for Emma, Ethan, and Josh. I had to work so Josh got to take the kids to all of their appointments today. First up was Ethan. He had his 4 month check up this morning. It was a little late, since he is about 4.5 months now, but close enough. He is growing well. He is now 16lbs. 8 ozs and 26 inches long. He is still a big guy and in the 90th percentile in all areas. Way to grow,Ethan! He also received three shots, which broke my heart that I wasn't able to be there. Josh said he took them like a big boy and stopped crying as soon as he picked him up.
Emma had a big day too. This afternoon was her first ever eye doctor appointment. Josh said that she was not at all excited to go. All the way there she was pitching a fit in the car, kicking the seat and crying. Once in the reception area she was still crying and Josh knew she was scared. Finally when they were in the exam room she began to calm down checking out all of the instruments.
She had to cover one eye and identify animal shapes on the wall. Next she put on glasses and point out pictures that were sticking out at her in 3D. Then she looked a color blind tests and traced the numbers that were in circles. She giggled the whole time and did so fantastic that she received 4 stickers! Josh and Em stopped at Target on the way home and picked out a new Woody toy (From Toy Story) for a job well done. Josh was very impressed with his little lady. When I got home from work today she told me all about it and said she can't wait to go again.
I think you are all caught up now. I will try to do better keeping up, this school thing is really holding me back.
Thanks for reading!
