Look Mummy: Hands!

Huggies Boxes: more than just a box!

Ethan's 17 weeks now and he's a real character. Since discovering his hands, Ethan loves handling new toys & textures. Inevitably, these always end up in his mouth! Even Dad's knuckles & hands get chewed. Everything except a dummy though. He clearly has a taste for the real thing and no plastic silicone / latex will do.

Mr E loves to smile and will crack a grin at anyone who catches his eyes. When I took him to our Mother's group, he was even trying to chat to the other babies but they weren't too keen on responding so he started chatting to their Mums instead! Yep, we got ourselves a talker. He's not too thrilled about being on his tummy but in the last week, he's finally started holding his head up.

We took Ethan down to our local pool for a swim to try to escape the heat. It was a brilliant idea because not only did we get a chance to cool off but he also had heaps of fun. It's definitely going to be something we'll do more of until winter arrives. Craig and myself are doing well. For a while, we've been getting better sleep but Ethan's (possibly) hitting the four month sleep regression so life might change. Never the less, we always take it one day (and night!) at a time and most importantly, spend as much time enjoying the good times along with the trickier moments.

Until next time, lots of love,
Demi, Craig & Ethan.
