So Many Changes...
In such a short amount of time. It will never fail to amaze me how fast Ethan's growing up.
We've hit so many milestones in the past month it's been crazy.
He now has FIVE teeth. And I'm sure number six will be any day now. He's eating pretty much everything. He loves his veggies, his fruits, his meat...All of it! This morning he had some diced up pear. That went over quite well. He seems to really enjoy the small amount of food he gets to pick up and chew for himself, ie: banana, carrot, pear.
Well the days of his little "bunny hop" way of crawling are well over and done with. He's crawling away at full speed now. But I can almost guarantee that by this time next month he'll be walking. This revelation came to me two days ago when I went into my sweet little boy's room to get him from his nap and I got there just in time to see him try and pull himself up from the top of his crib, lose his grip, smack his head and scream. No problem...Mommy kisses and fixes. It's all better.
Off we go downstairs, have a change, a bottle and some playtime. E's on the floor crawling around - playing with his toys, Mommy's toes, whatever he can get at. His exersaucer's in there - he grabs the top and just as nice as you please...PULLS HIMSELF UP and STANDS ALL ON HIS OWN. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. I'm so proud of him but...why do they have to grow up so fast?
Well it's just gone on from there. Last night he was in his playpen, I went in to see what he was up to and found him standing up, proud as you can be, looking over the side. Then this morning as I went in to get him from his crib, there he was standing straight up, playing with the blinds! Hands on the side of the crib just bouncing away. It's a good thing "Daddy" lowered the mattress the other night, but it sure won't be stopping Ethan from standing up.
Of course now that he knows he can do it, it's all he wants to do. Yup, all fun and games from here.
I'll post a pic soon for all to see. :o)
In the meantime, a certain little boy is up from his nap, standing up I'll bet. But...later today I'll have some pictures posted from Christmas and will be adding to the photo album on the original "Mommy Blog".
