5 Months

Ethan is 5 months old. We keep looking at each other and wondering where the time has gone. He is growing and changing daily:

Weight: 17 pounds 3 ounces (last week)
Height: 26 inches or so (this is a guess)
Clothes: 3-6 months but mostly 6 months and needing 6-9 month onesies
Diapers: size 3 and cloth. We have been fighting a diaper rash so have been on a break from them.

Ethan is changing so much every day and is so much fun. He started scooting backwards over Thanksgiving and gets around that way easily. He is also rocking on all fours and wants to go forward so badly. Its a matter of time. He giggles and smiles constantly. He has a lot of energy which is not surprising to most based on his parents. Everything goes in his mouth for tasting and he particularly loves to taste everything that we are holding. Ethan, we love you so much and enjoy your sweet personality. Mommy and daddy can't wait to celebrate your first Christmas next week.

Proof he will suck on anything including the side of his play mat
