Lots of milestones!

Ethan is getting close to lots of milestones! He is sitting with less and less support. He loves to stare at and chew on his giraffe ring stacking toy. But he is still a little unstable at sitting on his own. He almost folds in half sometimes and occassionnally still falls all the way over!

Last night we think Ethan officially started teething. He's been drooling and chewing on his fingers all the time now. But last night he actually stopped chewing late in the evening, and didn't even really want to nurse much. So I wondered if something was bugging his mouth. Then he wouldn't go to bed...and just kept screaming like he was in pain. We got him a cold washcloth to chew on and that helped temporarily. Then I went to the store at midnight to get teething medicine since I knew I couldn't manage being up all night long. As soon as we applied it to his gums he went to sleep and slept well! Today his mouth still seems upset, but much better.

I'll keep ya updated on when the teeth actually break through and when he can sit really well!
