So, I do realize that I haven't posted anything since the beginning of February. I will actually be shocked if anyone still looks at this. Y'all have probably given up on me. I'll try my best to be better about posting, I promise.
Lets see what we have been doing for the past month. You might ask if Ethan is crawling and that answer is still no. I don't think he has any desire to crawl. On the flip side of that, he loves to walk! We will put him in his walker in the kitchen and he goes to town walking around and pulling open drawers and opening cabinets. Its a good thing Granny and Grandpa (Carlene and Ronnie) bought some cabinet closers and safety things. Once we get those put out, it will be a big help!
We have moved onto baby's 3rd foods and table foods. He kept gumming his 2nds and spitting it out, so I tried the 3rds and it works a bit better. Why can't I find anything green in the 3rds? Ethan totally doesn't like green beans with rice and I can't stand the smell of all that mixed food (ie, lasagna, or broccoli and carrots in cheese, totally smells like throw up imagine how it tastes). Therefore we have started some table foods, only the cool stuff though. We've eaten dinner rolls, sweet taters, ooh and Popsicles, he loved the Popsicles. I bought him some cubed peaches and he is so funny when he eats them. He'll put them in his mouth, squirt out all the juice and then the rest of the peach just kinda falls out of his mouth. I found three peach cubes stuck to his pants. I just laughed!
Teeth are popping out left and right! About a week and a half ago Ethan quit sleeping through the night. He would sleep upstairs for a few hours then wake up screaming. We would try to calm him down, but that didn't work. He began this pattern and ended up in bed with us. Yea, I know, I preach to others about letting their child sleep in bed with them and look at me. This seems to be the only way to calm him down! He'll come down here and snuggle up next to one of us and fall asleep. Throughout the night we'll wake up to him kicking us. Nice, I know, but you do what you got to. Anyway, I was feeding Ethan last night and discovered one cutting through on the bottom and was like "YES!!!! Sleep finally!" Boy was I wrong. He woke up screaming again. THEN, I was talking to his teacher at school today and she had concerns about him not eating as much and I said it was probably b/c of that tooth coming in. She said "oh yea, I see it up there on the top." I was like "What? I was talking about on the bottom!" And yep, we have two coming in right now. I can't wait to see what he looks like in a week!
Okay, enough blabbing. Hope you enjoy the updated pics!

Try teething tablets and baby orajel and Motrin. I know it sounds like a lot but we had the same problem with Savannah. She went from sleeping great to waking up screaming. Someone told us to try teething tablets which are homeopathic and safe (Walmart)and Motrin and bedtime. When it was really bad we would add the Orajel. Worked like a charm! She would sleep great. We have since told others about this and they have had great results as well. Good luck!
I'm so happy you updated your blog! I still read it! Ethan has gotten huge! I hope you guys get some sleep soon. Nathan just started teething, but we have yet to see any teeth.
Its about time Mrs. Wade!! I love getting to keep up with Ethan on here! I can't believe how big he is getting!
Good to know about the teething tablets. Maybe the combination that Somer suggested would work! I know you hate for him to be in so much pain - poor little fella. Can't believe he's got so many teeth popping out already. He's just growing up so fast already. :) Can't wait to see yall.
