Sorry for the absence over the last month. Christmas took over in a major way this year.. and keeping up with Ethan is keeping me busier than ever! Now that the holidays are officially over (so sad) I thought I should do some blog updates.. I hope to be able to do several updates over the next few weeks including pictures and fun times from Thanksgiving and Christmas.
But first the most exciting thing happened while we were home for Christmas.. Ethan began walking. When I say walking I mean, more than 4 or 5 consecutive steps with no support!! He has been taking 2 or 3 steps on his own at a time, but never more than a foot or two in traveling distant.. one day while home my mother was watching and she comes running.. "Jen, Jen, you missed it.. Ethan just walked across the room!!!" That was Thursday and in the next day it became a constant part of his movement.. now he does it all the time everyday.. so I guess he is officially a walker. Like all his milestones everything seemed to click all at once and he got it. After less than a week its already becoming "normal" (but its still exciting every time.. for now).
It is so exciting to watch him explore the world around him and accomplish new skills. This stage is so exciting, exhausting, and becoming more challenging with each day.
We are officially in toddlerhood.. ahhhh.. so scary for a first time mom. So thankful I have the Lord walking with me during each new stage to give me wisdom and comfort in my time of need.
