Hurray For Ethan!!


Let's hear it for Ethan! He is now our sweet little sippy cup totin', whole milk drinkin', no more crawlin' WALKER!!! Ethan has pretty much sworn off crawling and has become a full fledged toddler! He is absolutely thrilled with himself - and we are as well! He has been walking since about Halloween - and now he is gettting quite good. He has gotten past the point of total clumsiness, and now can stop, turn around, and crouch to pick things up then stand back up again. Muy impressivo! He will be turning 1 in a littel under a month now (Dec. 10), so we are working on weaning him over to whole milk, and so far so good.
Oh, and the bottle thing - that was SOOO yesterday! Only sippy cups for him now. :)
The little dude is growing up! And the kids are all excited to include him even more in their play - which delights Ethan beyond comprehension! He had dreamed of this day pretty much since he figured out how fun they really are and how much of a barrier his imobility was causing. :)
Good Job Little Bud! Can't wait to see what else you begin to do!

What a sweet boy! It is so exciting that he can walk, and all before his first b-day. My kids were always so slow learning to walk. Congrats on you big boy.

Yea! You are done with bottles FOREVER! Now the countdown until they are all potty trained! Ethan is the cuttest little walker! He was so funny strutting around at Halloween! I am way excited for Twilight! I'm a little lame-o, a bunch of us are going to the premier on Thursday at midnight.. we even got shirts! hahaha

Cute! My boys were pretty slow learners for walking (14-15 months).
We had friends over the other day who had a baby whose been walking since 8 months! The funny thing is she's really petite, and weighs just a pound more than Audrey, who is still totally immobile. It's funny to see this little baby her same size running around.

Wow! That’s amazing Ethan can walk before he turns one.
I did not know you guys were into the Twilight books. Maddie tried to get me caught up in the books but life got in the way. I hardly get any time for myself.
