Ethan is 8 Months Old!

On Tuesday Ethan turned 8 months old! (How is this possible?!) He has had a busy month and an especially big week. He's learned how to sit with no help, go from his tummy to a seated position and vice versa, crawl (not just scoot anymore),sprouted a tooth, and just in this last week he has learned to...

pull himself up on his knees...


pull himself up to his feet...

AND pull himself up to a standing position. (The very day that I took this picture we lowered the mattress all the way down, by the way.)

I checked Katie's baby book to see if my memory has failed me, or if he is in fact growing up faster. Almost every one of these milestones she hit about 2 - 4 weeks later than he has. So unfair! He's supposed to stay little forever...
