Sick0

When will it ever end, someone please tell me that next year he wont be this sick - next year being that bit older the bugs out there wont knock him for 6!

Ethan now has his 5th (could be 6th I lost count) case of Bronchiolitis! How on earth can he get so sick!! His chest is all infected, his ears are infected, his sinus’/nose are infected. One ear, his left ear, ended up so badly infected that it burst his eardrum. No wonder the poor little man was screaming so hard, and here I was thinking it was just because he is getting his top front teeth.

I feel like a mouse running on a wheel, doing lots and lots of work but getting nowhere.

I would have never believed just a few weeks would have made such a huge difference on the health front, we have 6 kids and this little man is the one who is truly testing me. Never before have we had sickness all winter long.

Bring on summer, i was wrong we didn’t want spring!

Laughter0

No post is really needed, is there anything better than the sounds (and the sight) of a baby laughing

Lasagne0

Ethan is getting right in on the whole feeding himself his meals business.

Last night we had lasagne and garlic bread. After polishing off his garlic bread (minus the crusts) he got stuck into his bit of lasagne

This was the event!!!

Happy Little Vegemite0

Ethan tested out his first vegemite sandwich today. Wasn’t too sure how he would go with just one little tooth but he ended up eating a whole sandwich (2 slices of bread)

There is no stopping this boy when it comes to food!

He ate lumps!!!0

YAY!!!

I was so over smoothing Ethans food, i was buying the 10+ month stuff and pureeing it a bit more to get the big old lumps out, like chunks of carrot and peas.

Anyway, last night i could not be bothered so figured i would be super ready to rip him out of the highchair to fish anything out that was stuck.

Well knock me over with a feather, he ate it with no issues. I have been so scared to go there in case he choked. To many nursing stories about kids choking and not being able to fish the piece of food out

But it was all good.!!!

Makes my life just that little bit easier come dinner time now….

Clapping and saying no…0

Ethans newest tricks!

Last night Jack decided he might like to sing every single song that they play at dancing

Ethan was sitting on my lap, clapping away with his brothers singing!!!

Then he started shaking his head as to say no…Jack broke out in Hannah Montana songs and i dont think Ethan was impressed
