Ethan's 13 Months Old

Weight - 18 Pounds 4 Ounces

  Height - Unknown, no doctors appointment this month :)

 

Clothes: Ethan is wearing a size 9-12 months in clothes. 

Food: This kid loves to eat! The daycare says he is the best eater in the class. He'll eat pretty much anything you put infront of him. And for the most part we feed him whatever it is that we're eating at home. Ethan still loves his bottle, but we are also working on switching over to a sippy cup. He thinks its so funny to steal Sissy's sippy cup. And he gets mad when she takes it back, for a little guy, he's got a big temper. I can give him his own and he'll still take hers. It's pretty funny actually. We give him Ovaltine with his milk twice a day to increase his calories. And we are also trying to give him a serving of peanut butter once a day. Some of his favorites include: blueberry muffins, french toast, pancakes, diced carrots, diced bananas, Gerber Cheetos, Gerber puffs, mashed potatoes, fries, Mum Mum crackers, graham crackers, yogurt, frozen gogurt, any of the baby food dinners, arrowroot cookies, ice cream, popsicles, cake :)

Diapers: Ethan is still wearing a size 3 in diapers but a size 4 at night.

Sleep:  Ethan usually goes to sleep between 7pm and 8pm. Some nights he fights it, others we put him in his bed and don't hear another peep out of him. He has started waking up a couple of times during the night to eat a bottle. Usually once around 11 pm  or 12 am and then again around 4 am. We really need to cut this out, but I am trying to pack some weight on him to get him to 20 pounds, so I can turn him around in his car seat. After that it's gonna be time to cry it out. Hopefully we meet our mark soon. But after the second feeding he goes back to sleep until about 7-7:30 am. He usually wakes shortly after Leah does, I wonder why...We are struggling a little bit in the nap time department. Since turning one, Ethan was moved to the big boy class at daycare which means only one nap a day. Really he still needs two a day. So when he's home with me he usually takes short 30 to 45 minute nap in the morning and then goes down for a long nap around 1:00 pm and he'll sleep for a few hours. We're trying to get a better schedule down.

Likes: Momma, Daddy and Sissy of course :) Ethan is still using a passy for comfort and loves his blue Tigger blankie. He still loves to play with Little People and Leggos. Ethan likes his new trucks and boy toys for his birthday,  he likes to play in Leah's kitchen and all the food. He loves to push buttons! Especially his sisters :) he thinks its down right historical to turn off her movies. We tell him no, slap his hands and everything and he just laughs at us. We're seeing a little bit if a trouble maker in him. 

Dislikes: Ethan is still having some severe separation anxiety/stranger danger stuff. He is still very clingy, especially to me. He starts sobbing if I put him down and walk away . And even when I sit down and play with him, he either has to be sitting right in my lap, or at least close enough that he can reach over and touch me to make sure I'm still there. He is very shy. If someone new approaches him he lays his head on my shoulder and hides his face. He wont let anyone other than me or Jed hold him. If anyone else tries to hold him in my presence, he squirms and wiggles trying to get back to me.We're working on it.

*I was awful at taking pictures this month. I'll try to do better next month :)
