Andrew is almost 6 months old now and is becoming mobile! He sits on his own, can roll all over the place, though he prefers to just lay on his back and scream at the world, and he does sitting toe touches. He is quite flexible. But he still doesn't sleep very well at night. Kids his age usually sleep 8 or 9 hours straight through, but we are still fighting to get him on a schedule. If he isn't sick, then his first tooth, which has yet to show itself, is hurting or he has a runny nose. It is always something and Mommy and Daddy are wearing very thin these days. Ethan had noticed and demands one on one attention a lot more now. He is constantly calling for me to come and help him do the littlest things. He has made great improvements with his speech and is saying is "F" sound very well. His speech therapist has been using Easter eggs to hide pictures of a fox, face, foil, and foot. So each week he gets to hunt the eggs and practice his "F" sounds. So watch out cousins he has had a lot of practice hunting eggs this year. We even got out our eggs and we hide them in his room just for fun. Ethan has become an artist and has learned to color/paint in the lines. One day during speech he asked his teacher to color his dolphins and he watched so carefully how she didn't go outside the lines. It was the cutest thing how intent he was in his watching. Then he came home and asked for a coloring book and crayons. Off he went coloring pictures for Grandma because she was going to the hospital this week. With every finished picture he had to fold it up and put it in an envelope to send to Grandma. He has one favorite picture that he has been carrying around the house all week that he wants to give her when he sees her next weekend. It has traces of fruit loops on it and popcorn and who knows what else since it has gone everywhere! Watch out Grandma Hannah! We haven't been home since Christmas break, so we are looking forward to seeing our family again.
