Well, the month of May has been interesting. Ethan turned 8 months old almost 3 weeks ago, but we are just now getting to the blog post! May has been a month full of sickness for little E. We started with a cold, then developed an abscess, then a double ear infection and sore throat, then hives, then a very swollen abscess which led to a Children's Hospital visit, and then finally a ruptured abscess that is finally starting to heal. Needless to say, I am ready for a month of healthiness!! But through it all, Ethan was a trooper and still very smiley!
8 Months
Despite being sick a lot of this month, we have also had some great developments.
- Ethan loves to give high fives!
- He has also been starting to pull up to a stand. He starts in the sitting position and then will grab your fingers to pull himself up. He thinks it is hilarious!
- Current favorites include: Yogurt, "I'm a Little Teapot", his singing star frog from Grandma and Aunt Katie, his buzzy teething toy, rolling around on the floor, and playing with his blocks
- Ethan really loves to read books. He especially loves Five Cheepy Chirpy Chicks right now.
- Ethan and I took Parent/Tot swimming lessons which I think really helped Ethan get comfortable in the water. He even went underwater a few times!
Grandma came out to visit this month too! We had a fun week even though the first few days she was here, Ethan was feverish with his double ear infection. Grandma got to babysit for a little while Zach and I went out to lunch. Grandma also got to be here over Mother's Day!
I am sure there is more that I am forgetting, but Ethan is on the floor trying to eat the cat, so I probably should go!!
