My 4 month old baby boy Ethan

Okay, so I have been lazy in the blog department lately but we've had a busy household lately. We have been busy making invitations for my sister's wedding, getting our stairwell wall fixed, and preparing for a couple of wedding showers for Miss Lindsay. Pete has been busy traveling to Seattle for a conference at Mars Hill Church and is in Minnesota this week for the Twins playoff games to sell tickets. And through it all we are also adjusting to life without bulldog.

Ethan turned 4 months old yesterday! Unfortunately he had a not so fun day by getting his 4 month shots. :( He is currently weighing in at 17.4 pounds (90th %) and 28 inches in length (way off the charts). His head is 43 cm (70th %). He is such a growing boy! A few things about Ethan at 4 months -
*tummy time is getting longer and longer, usually up to 15 minutes at a time. He still hasn't rolled over but is starting to push up his hip every now and then and so I think we're getting close. He has great neck strength.
*boy does he loves his hands! That is all he seems to do these days - chew away at his hands. He is pulling toys to his mouth too although his fingers usually win out in terms of what he wants to chomp on.
*my boy has some fair, sensitive skin. He's starting to get some freckles around his hairline and he has what we think might be eczema on his neck. He likes to "mutilate" his eyebrows. They get all red and splotchy when he rubs his forehead when he's getting tired.
*he loves to smile, laugh, babble sounds like "goo" and "oh."
*he really loves to sit outside on the porch.

Here are a few 4 month pictures. He was in a "quiet" mood as he had just gotten up for the day. I wanted to take his pictures before we went to the doctor's office as I didn't know what the rest of the day would be like after getting his shots.
