10 Things Ethan Can Do Already

Ethan is 4 weeks old today. It's amazing how much he has grown and changed in the last couple of weeks. Thank God that all is well and he is now a healthy and growing baby. These are the 10 things that he can do already:

1. Cry.

2. Stone.

3. Turn head from left to right.

4. Hiccup non-stop.

5. Coo to his "friends" in the cot.

6. Lift his head slightly when placed on his stomach.

7. Smile (sometimes.. or maybe it's just gas)

8. Poo and drink milk at the same time.

9. Burp very loudly.

10. Fart even louder.

The Meaning of Ethan

Ethan (אֵיתָן "Firm", Standard Hebrew Etan or Eitan, Tiberian Hebrew ʾÊṯān) the Ezrahite, is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It may be that Ethan was a cymbal-player in King David's court. He authored Psalm 89. Charles Spurgeon theorized that this was the same person as Jeduthun.

Ethan means strong and optimistic, solid and enduring, or permanent. The name Ethan appears eight times in the Hebrew Bible (1 Kgs. 4:31, Ps. 89 title, 1 Chr. 2:6 and 2:8, 1 Chr. 6:42 and 6:44, and 1 Chr. 15:17 and 15:19).

Keeping Baby Entertained

It's not easy to keep him entertained nowadays. Think he needs a baby mobile soon as he gets bored easily:

After breastfeeding for one over hour, he still wants more. Head shape has changed from oval to round now.
