its the little things...

It seems like Ethan is developing and growing at record speed these days. We have had several new developments in the past two weeks. He has mastered eating pureed foods and a few days ago we started some "finger foods" that he could feed himself. After a few unsure moments he was ready for more. He's still working on getting things in his mouth instead of just on my floor. Bryan is not as excited about this new development...as many of you moms know how messy this can be.
He is also doing a commando type crawl now and I don't think it will be too long before he has this mastered as well. He started with just pulling himself around in the floor with his arms and now he is realizing he can get a lot more places when he gets his legs moving. I'm sure our animals won't be too excited, he is already tormenting the cats by pulling his hair when they get too close.
We also had the first bath in the big tub this week. It's amazing how these little accomplishments mean so much.

That's so exciting! It's so fun to watch them pick up on something - Brooklyn is just now seeing her hands and has learned to grab her little feet and roll all around. Your days of setting Ethan somewhere knowing he'll stay in place are almost over... :)

Oh my...so much so fast. Henry is eatting everything in site. we are down to 3 nursings a day but we are no where near crawling and I guess I have to say I am happy about that. He does love to sit up. I love reading your blog and staying caught up with your family. THANKS
