4 Month Doctor Visit

Ethan went to the doctor on August 27, 2010 for his 4-month check up; unfortunately I had to work so Adam was on his own for this one. Luckily, I had the great idea to have Adam secretly call me so that I could listen in on what the doctor said. :)

Everything is going really well, he was 17 pounds 2 ounces and 26.25 inches long; he is growing by leaps and bounds! The doctor also told us to start giving him fruits two times per day before his bottle. We started with apples and it did not go very well; he made a horrible face after the first taste and then after another he started gagging, YIKES! We decided to try mixing it with some of his cereal and that went a lot better. Luckily, we caught the whole thing on video.......

Since then he has tried bananas, which seem to be his favorite, and peaches. He has even gotten used to the apples and does not need them mixed with cereal anymore.

September 7, 2010 Ethan went to his first full day of daycare; he will be going 3 days a week. I drop him off in the mornings and Adam gets to pick him up after work. It was really hard to drop him off and I thought about him the whole day, I only called once to check in so I think that was pretty good? He did great, Patty said that he was a joy (not a suprise), napped really well, ate really well, and loved to watch all of the action. We are hopeful that it will get easier for us, Ethan does not seem to mind at all.....stay tuned for daycare updates!
