Just a quick little update on how things are going in the world of Ethan:

He started crawling a few weeks ago and now he hauls little buns all over the house! He's learned how to crawl up and down the stairs into our sunken living room. He regularly has bumps on his forehead due to his adventures!

He's learned to pull himself up onto everything: couches, tables, Mommy's legs while she's cooking...

Just last night, he discovered clapping. It's the cutest thing, because he claps and he cracks himself up, so he does it again! If I can ever get him to do it on camera, I'll have to attach a video to this blog. :)

Thursday will be Ethan's first Thanksgiving. It's hard to believe he's almost 9 months old already. Time flies! And every day he amazes me in new ways.

I am so happy to be his mom. I didn't know that I was capable of feeling more love for someone than what I feel for Jon, but Ethan's opened up a whole new world of unconditional love. I sometimes get all choked up at the end of the day, when he's just taken a bath, has had a bottle, and is smacking his little lips while he drifts off to sleep...just realizing how much I love him. And how beautiful he is. I am so blessed!
