9 month pictures

I was able to download some of Ethan's pics from JC Penny, so I'm going to see if I can upload them here...

Spring is almost here

Here's a couple shots of Ethan enjoying the outdoors... can't wait to get him in the pool this summer. We were just at my friend's wedding on Saturday in Wisconson and he did GREAT in the car! Took a nap on the way and slept the whole way home (didn't leave till about 9pm - he was TIRED).


And he had his 9 mo check up a week ago. Everything is fine, but I guess he's a little under weight. So I'm doing my best to fill him up everytime he eats. The Dr. doesn't think it's anything to be concerned about. He's a healthy boy and looks just fine for his size. But we're bringing him back in next month to be sure he's gaining enough weight. He's 28 1/2 inches and a little over 18 lbs.

What's new? He's figured out how to wave bye-bye. He stands by himself for short periods of time (5-10 seconds). He loves walking with help from the "walker" with wheels - gets up on it by himself now. And he's becoming more and more vocal. Loves rocking to music and "sing-song" babbling. He's still the love of my life and such a joy - puts many smiles on my face from day to day.

March already!?

So I tried uploading a video the other day and it didn't work very well... so I'm trying yet again. I've been having a lot of fun watching Ethan explore and learn how to get from here to there in many interesting ways. But mostly just hoping I can keep my eyes on him long enough to be sure he's not getting into the many things that he shouldn't :) He's 9 months now!! wow! So hard to believe how quickly it really does go by. so here are some recent videos - enjoy!
