Walking soon?

Mel, E & I met up a lot of Mel's family tonight for dinner. Today is Mel's aunt's birthday & we all gather for dinner at Arni's. We had a great meal, good conversation, you name it.

Interestingly enough, before we left -- I was walking with Ethan. He was walking between my legs with his arms up so that I could help guide him. This is a big deal because before, he never really had the desire to even try it. He would get jello legs each time we attempted it, so we have really not done it for some time.

Well tonight before we left we were doing it & he pretty much walked across our living room to Mel standing in the kitchen! Obviously we were super-stoked. Then after we ate & everyone was engaging in post-dinner conversation, I grabbed E out of his chair & wanted to see if he would want to try walking again. He certainly did!!! He, again with my escort, walked all the way across the dining room we were in at the restaurant!

Hard to believe how big our li'l guy is getting. While we're excited for him to start walking, I know once he does -- all bets are off. We'll really need to be on our toes then!

I'll see if we have a pic of some sort so I can post on here & stay tuned for Ethan's REAL first steps!
