Standing and First Steps!

It's been awhile since our last blog post; sorry about that!
Ethan is growing and brings a whole lot of joy to our family!
He has been standing for a few weeks now, but TODAY he took his first steps!
He took two steps, fell down, and then took four more right toward the couch.
It is sooo much fun to watch him grow and learn new things!
Ethan is so proud of himself when he does something new and exciting, he smiles so big and claps really hard; sometimes screaming for joy!


Ethan hanging out in the kitchen playing.

 He too is amazed at how fast his tummy is growing too!

 Silly boy; Ethan is too tall to fit under the counter anymore.
He kept trying to stand up under the counter despite hitting his head multiple times.
I know this is weird, but it was kind of cute/funny.
It's as though he was determined to fit!


Playing with Dad!
Cute cute boy!

Reading with Dad!

So handsome in a hat!

Steve and I watched our friends' son the other day, and Ethan was sooo thrilled to have a playmate!
He is so excited and happy here!

Ethan was so sweet; he stood next to the swing and pushed the baby.
He was very gentle and smiled the whole time!

We are so thankful for Ethan. He is gentle and kind. He always hugs his stuffed animals and lays on them too. He gets so excited about things and gets crazy whenever we play hard with him. He laughs and giggles so much. He is a very happy boy!
I am so excited for him to be able to run around; I think he will just love life even more!

I read this verse today and was encouraged in my mothering, remembering the goal!
2 Timothy 2:10 NLT
"So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen."
