Ethan is 3 months

Forgive our tardiness, Ethan....we promise we love you, even though we are very late in posting your birth pictures:)  So, here is 3 months and at some point I will get to 1-2 and others, but for now I want to document this before I forget.  Ethan remains a very mellow, happy little guy.  He is content in any environment, some of his favorites are:
*activity gym (the purple disc moves around and he giggles at it)
*ergo rides (aka morning naps since Eliana is on the go!)
*lights (especially in Eliana's reading corner)
*changing table
*napping with Mom and Dad and sleeping in their bed:)
*Eliana's voice

He does not mind the car seat (Eliana hated it!) and is truly a wonderful little boy. When we have time to sit down and play with him, he is so delighted that he spits up in excitement. Total second child. He also does not mind tummy time and in fact, will just lie there and not even try to lift his head up.  I remember Eliana grunting to get her head up.  Their personalities and demeanors are already so different; she the spicy, determined and crazy one.  He the mellow, sweet and easy-going one.  We'll see if these carry through in the coming years.  

Eliana's love for him is growing as well.  She now wants to lie down to do tummy time with him and wants to help when I change his diapers.  The other day I had to give him an emergency shower as he had a huge blow out and after that, Eliana kept saying, "I need a shower because I pooped all over."  She makes me laugh. 

Speaking of bodily functions, Ethan has sporadic ones so we tend to have a lot of big messes as he will go 3-4 days without a BM and then wham!  I'm sure he loves that I'm sharing this with you all.
