Check out the Vertical!

All the sudden this weekend Ethan decided to take up jumping like a mad man in his jumparoo. I quickly grabbed the camera and put it on video mode to catch the action. Sorry you can't really see his face, I was being lazy and laying on the ground. But, you can see his vertical jump in action! I just hope the poor kid doesn't break a toe - notice he's jumping on his toes instead of his feet. His toes were all red once he got done with this workout!



Other updates and new milestones this weekend with Ethan include:

*He tried several times to feed himself. We took him out to dinner at Outback this weekend and gave him some of the great bread they bring out. We just set it in front of him and he actually reached out about 5-7 times and grabbed pieces and tried to put them in his mouth. We just couldn't believe it! We were so proud. Of course he didn't hit his mouth once because his hand released the bread before it got to his mouth, but he's honestly never tried this before!!

*He's also shown more interest in getting up on his knees to possibly crawl! He pulled himself up to a full crawling position a few times this weekend and then flopped right back down on his belly, but hey - it's progress!

Now, just a few pics I took of Ethan and Dave. If you look closely you'll see two little chompers on the bottom!

The jumparoo - i love it! So, funny thing - but I totally thought of Irish dancing (a la Riverdance) when I watched this video - he's got moves man!

Go, Ethan, Go! I hope your little piggy toes are alright. You have as many teeth as Bella, you are BIG BOY!

Two teeth and jumping. Good work Bud! Keep it up and soon you'll catch up with us grown-ups in both teeth and jumping!

Wow. He really goes to town in his bouncer! I can't believe he has two little chompers already. It is so fun to see all the little things he does that makes him grow. You have an adorable little boy.
