Ethan's first shoes

This was taken sometime in early to mid August, shortly after he started walking. He'd just been to Walmart with Debbie to get his very first shoes.

Ethan, advanced walking

This was taken just last night, when Ethan surprised me by walking all the way across the living room from the TV to me. I'm hoping I can get a video of him crawling before he completely gives that up, but it might be too late already. I'm happy he's walking---he's so excited!---but I'm also kinda sad to see him stop crawling. He was/is such a cute little crawler!

Ethan practices walking

Here is Ethan, practicing walking three days ago (June 26):

Drinking and Walking

Abigail recommends a good drink after dinner. Walking helps to settle the food, too. Walking and drinking at the same time increases your efficiency by 12%!
