"Old" Videos of Ethan

Old being a relative term, of course. With as quickly as he learns to do new things time is just flying by.

This video was taken on Tuesday. He took his first steps about 2 weeks ago (on Jan. 19th.) Just one at a time and obviously he'd plop right down afterwards. When you compare this to the walking video in the previous post it is amazing how much his coordination has improved in just two days!

This one is from December 1oth. This was the day he started cruising around objects and furniture. It's so slow and subtle you might know what you're looking at if you hadn't been told.

Ethan is Walking!

Mommy is both proud and disappointed. He's not a baby anymore.
And we can't wait for the new camera to get here. This was taken on my phone so the quality is not the best.

Learning to Stand Up

One week ago today Ethan learned to stand on his own! (I know, I know, I know. Mommy is behind AS USUAL.)

He can even stand up in the middle of the room, not just by pulling up on something and then letting go. He's so strong!

(Yesterday Ethan took his first two consecutive steps! Mommy's trying to get it on film...)

Yup, That's About How Things Go

This video is a perfect example of how our days usually unfold around here. Mommy trying to do something, Katie having a conversation with herself, and Ethan scurrying away right in the middle of it all. Hilariously chaotic. I love it.
BTW: I love that she's saying "What are my feet doin'?" She knows she not supposed to get in the shower, but her feet have a mind of their own.

Helpin' Out

What a good big sister. Every time we put Ethan in his highchair, Katie comes over and says, "We're feedin' Ethan?" Then she helps me pour chopped food or snacks for him. So cute.

Workin' on That Coordination

Ethan has been bust learning how to hold on and take steps. Every time he stands a little straighter and steps a little faster. I wonder how long till those special first (independent) steps.
