So, I think Ethan may be the smiliest kid I know!  I love it!  He is all smiles (most of the time).  He is also VERY ticklish.  In February, Ethan turned 5 months old!  (See... I have it up before he turns 6 months old... with 4 days to spare!)

5 Months!

Just for fun:

Heehee... 1 Month!

Here's what is new:

- Our little man is very giggly!  He loves to be tickled and other people's yawns are super funny too!

- Ethan went on his first mountain adventure for the annual Bauer/Hanson ski vacation.  He didn't ski this year.  :-)  I am sure he will be skiing sooner than I realize!

- On our way up the mountain, Ethan learned to take a pacifier!!  On a last ditch effort, we tried latex pacifiers recommended by a friend.  Magic!  I think this changed my life.  :-)

- I think we *hopefully* are on the upswing from a major sleep regression around 4 months.  I hear it happens again at 9 months.  I am not excited.

- Still enjoying his "solid" foods.  We are up to two meals a day!

- Swimming!  Zach and I took Ethan swimming for the first time at the rec center.  He really seems to enjoy the water.  We will be taking parent and tot swimming lessons soon!

Also, in February, we had Valentine's Day!  Here is our little sweetheart!

Whew!  Now we are caught up!  Time to breathe for 4 days...
