Just to let all of you know, Ethan has been developing in leaps and bounds.
He can now:
He is such a joy!

He can now:
- hold his head up and look both ways.
- lie on his belly and prop his head and shoulders up.
- put his butt in the air and make crawling movements with his legs.
- drools a spectacular amount. ( which if could be bottled up and sold would make us rich)
- thrust his hips in the air when he wants to be picked up.
- can turn over from his back to his front but only in one direction
- grasps for things accurately and then promptly shoves them into his mouth.
- can almost hold his own bottle by himself.
- likes to grasp his bottle and pull and shove it into his mouth
- makes tons of noises- (imagine a drool filled mouth and him trying to make sounds- comes out like gurgles)
- laughs when he is tickled
- grabs onto your hair and not let go when you rub your face in his tummy.
- pulls off eye glasses with amazing speed and accuracy.
- hold and throws rattles.
- wears Medium size nappies 'cuz of his chubby butt.
- grab both of his feet at the same time.
- sit up with the assistance of pillows and support.
He also now weighs 7.2kg and is 68cm tall. Soon, his much loved bouncy chair will have to be put away since its maximum weight is 8 kg- so hopefully we will have a playmat for him by then. (The one we had- Ethan has managed to pull off all the dangling toys off their ribbons one by one- Yup he's a strong boy!) He also is so big now, that his 3-6 months clothes barely fit anymore and he is into 6-9 months. HahaHa!
His eyes have turned an almost solid browny color, not as dark as mine. He also prefers to be carried facing outwards so he can see the world freely and not over someone's shoulder.He is such a joy!
