It is that time again...Ethan had his 9 month follow up...he continues to grow like a weed...his height is 29 1/2 inches (75th-90th percentile), weight 20lbs. 12oz. (50th percentile)! So this is the reason he is getting hard to cart around! His personality is budding each day...he can always put a smile on my face & heart! He continues to explore the house...whether with permission or not...he is getting into everything...he has no fear...this is not a good thing! This girl has her work cut out for her...Ethan is all boy!
A quick recap of Ethan's abilities at this stage...he can crawl with no hesitation, on level surfaces, over people & obstacles and up stairs; he is independently cruising from surface to surface; can walk short distances with only one hand support and longer distances with two hand support. Ethan can play patty-cake, peek-a-boo, and say "mama", "dada", and "baba"--bottle; he also can wave on occasions and loves to give people wet razz berries...he is great at giving out hugs too & reaching for "up"! Ethan would prefer to feed himself and mommy is doing her best to give up the control; he does now have 5 chompers to use and a 6th about to surface!
Daddy is one of Ethan's best role models...and let me tell you...monkey see, monkey do...Ethan now crawls under his exersaucer after seeing daddy do it the other night...fortunately for Ethan daddy was able to get out of it after he got stuck in it!
