Our lazy little one......
Ethan has taken a lazy route the past couple of days. He has slowed down with his nursing. We are still doing every other feeding, but his volumes are not increasing much. The nurses tell me he is still really young for his age to even being able to attempt. I need to learn to be patient, hard though when all I want to do is get my little man home! We have faith that he will turn around here and take off. Here is Ethan being lazy and sleeping during feeding times. Silly boy.Ethan still enjoys taking his baths! Brad and I have so much fun giving him his bath. He is starting to outgrow his little tub as he kicks his legs around in there. He has grown an 1/2 inch and is now 18 inches long and is doing great with his weight gain- 4lbs 9oz today! Hope to be 5 lbs by next week. Here is his fuzzy-wuzzy hair after his bath tonight. The picture doesn't do it justice! It's so soft you can barely feel it. The lighting is bad too- it is still black.

We had so much fun Sunday night getting his hand and footprints. Totally not how I thought they would do them, but way easy and clean!



Precious little prints!
