New Trick

Ethan rolled from his stomache to his back for the first time a couple of days ago.  He hasn't repeated rolling from back to front like he did when he was two days old but that should be happening soon.  He did it with such ease and was able to do it so many times that day that it was like he was saying, "I've been ready to do this for awhile now if you guys would have just given me some more tummy time it would have happened sooner."  He also has started to scoot any time we put him on his stomache.  He puts his face on the floor and pushes forward with his legs and manages to move himself several inches.  Right now he doesn't know what to do with his arms though so they end up stuck underneath his body.

In addition I weighed him on our scale the other day and he's up to around 13 1/2 pounds.

She's too smart for my own good

I snuck a handful of M&M's this afternoon and a few minutes later Abigail comes up to me.  "Look at your mouth," she says and I quickly open and shut it trying to humor her.  She persists, "Open your mouth."  So I grudgingly let her look in my mouth.  She then exclaims, "It's all yucky."  She pauses for a second, contemplating what this means.  "Oh!  M&M's!"
