hi girls! gosh its been so long since i've posted or even popped my head in here to visit and/or update. i've just spent today catching up on the last thread and when i got to the end, it got locked! hehe.. so here i am

ethan is 6.5 months now is thriving incredibly! we had his 6 month check up on the 4th of may and he was 8.5kgs and 71cms tall. he's quite big compared to the babies we know, he's even grown bigger than his cousin who's 3 months older than him. it's funny considering johnny and i are both quite skinny, we don't know where he gets it from.

we started him on solids about 4 weeks ago and he absolutely loves it. he polishes of the whole 170g jar with rice cereal mixed in it! he current feeding routine is: 6am bottle, 10am feed, 12pm bottle, 4pm bottle, 6pm feed then a 9pm bottle - is this a lot? all of his bottles are 180mls and sometimes he drains it completely and is still wanting more.

we have already turned his car seat because his feet were touching the back of the seats. ethan really hates sitting in it though, he'll only stay put when he's asleep otherwise he'll kick and scream til we stop the car and pick him up. i know it's probably because we don't go out that much so he's not used to it.

ethan can now sit and is almost crawling. i think it's called the commando crawl as he'd slowly inching along, he just doesn't know how to lift his head up while he's doing it. and boy is he bouncy! sometimes i just wanna sit him on my lap but he'll push himself straight and then start bouncing! hehe..

great to hear everyone is doing really well. don't they just grow so fast?? i'm so amazed some days as my girlfriend gave birth to her baby boy last month and i don't remember ethan ever being that small!

gotta run! i can hear him stirring and i gotta catch him before he flips over and crawls off...
