Houston, we have a walker!

I was so tired today, so I took a nap while Ethan did too. He slept through the night last night, but was up at 7:30, and we were up until 2 hanging out and working on the blog, so I had a little lack of sleep :) Ryan made us some grilled cheese for lunch and Ethan ate half of a grilled cheese himself. It is very fun giving him table foods now! He is ready for the next bite as soon as he is finished.

We have a walking toy that we have been trying to get Ethan to walk with. He is supposed to stand behind it and push it to walk. Today, he actually started walking with it!! It has seemed like his legs have been stronger the past few days and not buckling as much when you try to get him to take steps, so I got the push toy out and he just took off!! He had a few crashes, but as soon as we turned the toy he took off walking again!! Check back for the video!

Today is Simeon's 19th birthday, so we went over to their house for a family dinner. Aunt Sheila made delicious chicken and dumplings (Mammaw's recipe) and they were fantastic! Ethan had his first taste of our family favorite, plus peas and mashed potatoes. So, now Mammaw can stop saying that Ethan gets his chicken and dumplings from me :)

Simeon's daughter, Rylee, is one of Ethan's favorite people. She was napping when we got there, and after she ate she was sitting on the floor in the family room. Ethan spotted her and made a beeline for her crawling completely across the family room floor and gave her a big kiss!! We were all cracking up. I so wish I could have caught it on video! They had a lot of fun playing together, and Ethan showed off his new walking skills with Rylee's push toy.
