Ethan 7 Months

Had to share that Ethan boy is now 7 months old. Today he had his first haircut and it was needed. It was bittersweet though, him losing his 'crazy professor' hair. No more comb over for this little man. He did fantastic, was so, so good about it. No pictures as I was holding him while he was getting it cut and daddy was getting his hair cut at the same time.

Cade, at the same time was filling his pants with pee and poop!! ARGH. He has done so very well. Went poop yesterday on the potty for the first time. We went out of town for the afternoon, no accidents and he was letting us know when he needed to go to the potty and he even slept with big boy undies on all night and woke dry. Then today... oh well, what can you do?? He is back on the band wagon and doing well.

Ethan at 7 months is still a delight. He is doing better at night, a lot better, but I hope not to jinx myself with that statement. He is trying to self ween from breast feeding and I don't know how I feel about that. He was always so good about it but lately I seem to not be satisfying him as I use to. Not sure what the go is there, but I will persevere. He loves his food. Breakfast and dinner he has baby food and he just gobbles it up. He still loves the water, if he hears the water running he breaths heavy with excitement and anticipation and kicks about trying to get in there or if he is on the floor he is in the bathroom in a shot! Pretty funny. He is really getting around, he is army crawling, left, right co-ordinated. Just a matter of time before he is putting it all together and is up on his knees doing it. He really is a beautiful little boy and we just so love him and enjoy his pleasantness. Cade adores him and they are so excited to see each other after naps or being apart for any period of time. What a blessing.

The Date Is Set

I had my 32 week ob appointment today and all is well. I am much relieved to say that we have a date set for the birth of this little boy. Monday March 23rd is the day! My doctor said he will be there so we are all a go on that! I don't know why it is such a relief but it is and I am glad I no longer have to think about it, I will be all too busy with all this nesting I have been up to. It has started a little earlier this time around. I didn't really have as much time to nest when I was pregnant with Cade as I was still working but it came in waves and I tried to do as much as possible before 36 weeks so I could relax as much as I could in those last uncomfortable weeks. I have been having such baby hungry moments this week, especially today, unpacking totes with itty bitty clothes that I just love!! Cade thinks it is dress up and tries to wear the babies things, little spunk he is.

We have had some success and progress in the way of potty training. Cade wore his big boy undies for 3 hours this afternoon without an accident and then when we went to dinner we put a diaper on him and when we returned home he stripped off his pants and wanted to wear his undies again. This is definate progress as he HATED his undies before now. I am so in awe of how big my little boy is getting.
