3am fun and games with Master Ethan!

Ethan is growing and developing, as it should be, and he is getting more aware for every day that passes. Now, instead of waking up around 2-3am for a quick 2 minute devouring of a bottle and his usual ‘roll-over-to-show-you-that-I-am-done-with-you-and-you-are-free-to-go-back-to-sleep-now-mom/dad’ he has now moved on to ‘I-am-just-going-to-snack-a-little-and-then-stand-on-all-four-ready-for-giggles-and-playtime-then-snack-a-little-bit-more’. As you can imagine, this is putting a little dent our much needed nighttime sleep. So far we have coped with it, we’ve just been a little bit more tired than usual, but let's hope this is just a phase that’ll pass shortly!

What else? We are now starting to see forward motion when he is playing in his cop car (last week he could only chase bad guys in reverse) and Ethan also has a brand new matching set of teeth in his top jaw. He will probably be very proud to show off his pearly whites to the world real soon. At the same time, our little buddy has gotten more sensitive to loud noises and sudden noises (like tonight when I ripped up a new box of nappies or when mommy and daddy 'team burped' after dinner), but that’s all normal of course.

We have been very, very lucky with Ethan so far, he is not prone to colds or colic and ugly things like that, he is hungry like a wolf, playful and happy as ever, and to top it off, he is cute as a button!
