At 2 months check up, Ethan was chubby and short. But now he is long and skinny! He only gained a little over a pound in the past two months, but grew 4 inches! The doctor saw him looking around left and right and said that this slow weight gain may be because he is so observing and can't stop looking around (and also that most energy went for the height than weight). He sure is always turning his head around. They are not too concerned about the weight gain, but want us back again next month just to make sure everything is ok. He did amazing with the shots too. He cried when the nurse was rubbing his legs with alcohol, cried through the shots, but stopped as soon as the bandaids were on. I guess it was not as bad as he anticipated.
We had amazing time at Kate and Will's wedding last night. It's always fun to attend a good mennonite wedding :-) We got to play some mennonite games with bunch of people there, which always amazes me how much connection we can find with one person!
Ethan is turning 4 months old officially on Wednesday. Unfortunately I have something going on at 7pm, but if we can find some time between our work and the evening activity, we may try feeding him some rice cereal. I hope he'll like it so we can pack some weight back on him. I know people tell me not to worry about his weight but I do feel responsible. We'll see what will happen in the next month!
