Little things about our little guy

  • Ethan loves to sleep on his side.
  • Our newborn book labels him a "barracuda eater"- fast and furious and impatient.
  • He hates a wet/soiled diaper and won't tolerate it for long.
  • He's peed on us more times than we can count. We have a diaper over him at all times, but it doesn't stop the spray.
  • We can tell he is Stefan's child only when he "smiles."
  • He doesn't spit up much, usually it's on clean sheets.
  • He makes a horrendous noise when he poos...enough to make us jump and pray that we didn't get any on us.
  • He doesn't like clothes changes, which is unfortunate since he pees all over everything often.
  • He is long and lean and has very little chubby on him. Yet another of the many ways he is his father's child.
  • He only fusses for a reason: wet/hungry/tired/burpy/being changed.
  • He is a snuggle bunny and likes to be compact with his ear to our hearts.
  • He sleeps very well on his own.
  • He eats like a champ. We can tell he's done eating when his arms go limp in supreme satisfaction. Otherwise his hands are ALWAYS up to his face and are almost impossible to get out of the way. This causes major frustration for both mom and baby, with mom constantly getting the "naughty hands" out of his mouth so she can feed him.
  • He is really really cute and we can't get enough of him.
