Baby Steps

The event that we have feared has finally come to pass. Ethan took his first steps on Thursday. For the last week or so he has started standing on his own without support. Jen was playing with him on Thursday afternoon when he attempted to walk to her. He only made it a step or two, but he immediately did it again. In the past, we encouraged Ethan to crawl and pull himself up, but didn't want him to walk early. We've heard that things get much harder once they start walking, especially when they are too young to understand the consequences of their actions. Despite our fears, it is so exciting to see him hit this milestone.

This week, the Morrey family went to the polls to vote in the primaries. We gave Ethan both of our stickers.

We tried to get pictures of Ethan standing on his own, or taking a step, but he wouldn't cooperate. He just wanted the camera.
There isn't much new with Kyle and Jen. Kyle has been busy with work and homework, and Jen has been plugging away at getting the walls ready to paint (which is a very slow process when progress is only made while Ethan is asleep). She did purchase a large area rug this week which has taken months to pick out. Next, we hope to find a couch to match. Hopefully it won't take months to find the right one.
