Ethan at 4-Months

Wow! Ethan turned 4-months old on Friday. It's hard to believe how fast he is growing. It seems like it is happening even faster than it did with Kaitlin. Probably because we don't spend as much one-on-one time with him. It's definitely a lot harder to balance everything with two kids and we are already seeing personality differences between Kaitlin and Ethan.

Kaitlin was a very easy baby and we knew we were being spoiled with such an agreeable first child. Ethan doesn't really like to lay down for very long. He will tolerate it for 15-20 minutes and then he wants to be up so that he can see what's going on. Unfortunately, he spends a lot of time crying on the floor while we attend to other things. Lately, Ethan has been showing his stubborn side and hasn't been wanting to take a bottle. It's very frustrating to me because there are times when I want to leave him with someone else to spend a little time with Kaitlin or Keven. He's also going to be starting "school" one day a week in June and will need to take a bottle while he's there. We've begun bottle shopping to try and find one that he will take more easily.

For the first month or so, Ethan was really quite grumpy! He has started to smile and giggle now though. He loves to be talked to and bounced around and is very ticklish! I bought him a lion doll that hangs on his car seat which he loves! We named him Leo and Ethan usually smiles when he sees him.

Overall Kaitlin is doing really well. She gets a little extra clingy sometimes, especially with me, but she is a great big sister! She likes to get right in Ethan's face and talk baby talk to him. He loves it! The other night, she was dancing for him and he just laughed and laughed; it was too cute! If you're still reading, thanks! I probably would have scrolled down to the pictures already :)
