Happy Half-Birthday!

At six months old, Ethan Leo is the happiest baby I know.  (I may be biased.)  He is constantly either smiling or laughing.  He loves to watch his big sister Elodie and he loves to eat.  Elodie didn't start eating solid foods until she was six months old, but we started Ethan at about 4-1/2 months.  Meanwhile, he now eats 2-5 jars of baby food a day and only 1 bottle at school.  He gets so excited to eat food that he flaps his arms, gasps for air, and sometimes throws up because he eats to much or to fast.  (still trying to figure out the right balance...)  The last couple months since Ethan started day care, he's had quite a few colds, fevers and even a double ear infection.  He's such a little trooper though and smiles at all the nurses and doctors even though he felt so bad.  He loves his teachers and going to school.  He can sit up on his own, and scoots across the floor.  He's really trying to crawl now and giggles whenever I pick up his hips off the floor.  We're trying to enjoy these few weeks before he gets really mobile!  Ethan babbles and screams for fun.  He loves getting his diaper changed and laughs everytime we take his clothes off.  He loves the bath and doesn't even mind when I dump water on his head.  Hmmm.  Is there anything that this baby doesn't like?  Hmmm...  he definitely cries sometimes, but mostly because he's either bored, or tired, or hungry.  Pretty simple... 

Ethan, we love you!
