8 weeks

Yeah, Ethan is now 8 weeks old! We went to his well-child visit yesterday and he is now up to a whooping 12lbs. 4oz. and is 23 inches long. He's not having any trouble gaining weight now! He's been doing really well and getting more and more active and alert all the time. He's just starting to show a little interest in toys. The video below shows him playing with a jingly ball while he's sitting in his little bumbo chair. He's also been doing better at night time. Just this past week, we have cut down to only getting up once each night. Ben is now working with a pediatrician and she told him that by 8 weeks 50% of kids are sleeping through the night. Our child seems to be in the wrong 50%! But, at least we are getting better and working towards it.

Near the end of this video I turned the camera, so the picture flips sideways. I'm still learning how to do this video stuff well, so sorry about that.
