Walkin' the Walk!

Ethan is officially walking!

He took his first step on September 18th, but today he's been walking all over the place. He's still a little shaky, but it's so cute!

Here's a video - sorry it's sideways:

Good Morning!

I just bought Ethan these adorable Monkey Football Player pajamas. Aren't they the cutest? Well, maybe it's just because the model is sooooo cute!

His First Step!

Friday night Jason and I were getting everything together for our trip to Central Illinois for Emily's wedding. A little before we left, Jason was holding Ethan's hand so he could stand. I squatted down, and...

HE TOOK A FEW STEPS!!!

On Monday, we went to a church event and I went down to check on Ethan (they told me he was crying, but I found out when I got down there that they got the wrong mom!). When he saw me, he speed crawled over to me.

When he got to me he pulled himself up on my jeans, and he squeezed my knees harder than he ever had. He didn't want to let go! So I grabbed his arms and unwrapped him, then took a step back. He stood for a second, took two steps to me, and wrapped his arms back around my knees.

I felt so bad leaving him, but I was so excited that he walked...again!!

Happy 9 Month B-Day Ethan!!

In celebration of Ethan's 9 months, I wanted to post some videos of his first days.

Ethan just loves my phone. He gets so excited when he sees the pictures, so we have lots of fun taking pics!

Here are some of the recent phone pics:

Some fun shots of Ethan from a month ago.

We're Back!

I've been horrible about blogging lately. It has been extremely busy lately with our new home, my new schedule, and Ethan's new daycare. By the time we get home, we play, then it's off to bed. On the weekends, we just try to get things done around the house.

Plus, I keep forgetting my memory card to upload new pics and videos. I promise, this week, I will have more info.

Just to keep you up-to-date, with what's going on in Ethan's world. Here's some info:

• Ethan is 8 months old!!!
• He has his bottom two teeth, but we think the top two are trying to breakthrough for their big debut.
  
• Ethan has been crawling for a while, but he is really starting to move out.
• He is pulling up on everything, so he can stand and walk around.
  
• He dances to music (so cute!)
• Ethan really wants to talk, he's trying really hard!
  
• I believe he can say "baba" for bottle and if I ask him if he wants a baba he will start whining and say "bababababababa!"
• He's a giant baby (like always, but he's like 22lbs+ already)
• Ethan is eating more and more finger foods - he loves eating.
• He does not have a sweet tooth! (Lucky guy!!)
• His "strawberry" is still there, but it seems to have stopped growing.
• Ethan loves music! He was dancing away to Frank Sinatra!!

Okay, that's it for now!
