We got up this morning, ate breakfast, and headed to church after Ethan woke up. He slept in until almost 10 (he woke up around 7, nursed, and went back to sleep)! He was so good at church today. We went to First Watch for brunch with Grandma and Grandpa, and Ethan slept the entire time we were there! He woke up right when we were getting back in the car, and we went to Stride Rite to try on some shoes. Ryan and I found out on Friday they were having a B1G1 half off sale through the weekend. So, Ethan had his first shoe fitting, and he's a 3.5 (wide) right now. We wanted to get the shoes bigger since he doesn't need them right now. We got two pair of size 4.5 Stride Rite's for $45, which is a really good deal! The shoes we got were on sale, plus half off the second pair. Most of their shoes are $50 each (ouch!!) so we are very happy. And super exciting news!!! Ethan was testing out the shoes in the store, and he was standing up next to Ryan by a bench. He turned right around and took two steps all on his own to me! This is the first time he has ever, ever done this. It kind of took us by surprise, like "did he really just do that??" So today Ethan took his first solo steps!! We are so very happy and proud of our boy!!
We got these two shoes, but we will probably try to exchange one pair for a monkey shoe that we saw on their website! They did not have it at the Tri-County store.
Here are the monkey shoes. How cute are they??? I think Ethan needs them :)
We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa Gabbard's house to hang out and visit for a bit. We tried to get Ethan to show off his steps, but he wasn't interested. He had lots of fun cruising around the family room and visiting, though!
We went home for a bit and Ethan was acting cranky, so I went to put him down for his nap. I ended up falling asleep with him in the rocker, and when I woke up, Ryan had fallen asleep on the couch! I guess we all needed some rest, especially with the yucky rainy weather outside. We got ready really fast and went and met Grandma and Grandpa A, Brad, Lindsay, and Shawn for dinner at Outback to celebrate Ryan and Aunt Lindsay's birthday, which is later this week. The food was so good tonight!! They have a 6oz Outback special (our favorite!!) now, which is perfect, and a really great price for a yummy steak dinner! We got Ethan a sweet potato, and it was HUGE... our little piggy ate about 3/4 of it, plus bread and some bites of Daddy's steak! We were so surprised he ate that much of the sweet potato. It is his favorite!!
After we got home, we sat down to try walking with Ethan. He walked between Ryan and I about 6 or 7 steps!! He would walk back and forth from each of us, turn around, and be ready to take off again. We are so proud of our little guy!! I can't believe he is walking on his own already!!!
