Ethan's First Boo-Boo

Well, not really. At least, I don't think it is. He does have an older brother, after all, who likes to "play" with his little sibling. But it is certainly the first visible bump that is self-inflicted.

We were all playing in Jacob's room this morning and Ethan was rolling around on the floor as usual. He can't quite scoot yet, but he's an expert roller and can be surprisingly fast. This time, however, the closet door got in his way. He rolled over very quickly and smacked his face right into the corner of the opened door. Ouch!



It's hard to see in the picture, but he has a line over his left eyebrow that is raised and red, which slightly reminds me of John Locke's eye from Season 1 of LOST.

However, as you can see, he's not any worse for the wear. Despite my fuzzy picture-taking (something is wrong with my camera lens), it is quite obvious this is one happy baby!



P.S. The poor kid just got ANOTHER tooth yesterday at not-quite six months old and the only thing that gave it away was an inability to nap. Ethan is the definition of laid-back!

Ethan cut his first tooth yesterday! He was 5 months, 1 week and 4 days old!

I've been waiting for this. The weeks of unending drool, the last few uncharacteristically fussy nights, the constant chewing on everything in sight....and last night, the proof!

Ethan's got his older brother beat on this one. I checked the baby book, and Jacob's first tooth didn't arrive until he was 7 months old.

Bye, bye, toothless grin! We'll be sad to see you go...but I'm glad I had those baby/sibling portraits done a few weeks back!



(Notice the copious drool on his chin! Such a cutie. I should remember to take more photos!)

Next up: solid foods, baby!
