It's Not How Many Times You Get Knocked Down...

It's how many times you get up.

That's the quote right?

Anyway, over the last week or so Ethan has grown up a lot. He has officially gotten down crawling on his hands and knees (no longer doing the Omaha Beach crawl), and tonight he learned how to pull himself up and stand while holding onto something. Luckily, we got his second and third times on video.

The sad thing is, he was motivated to pull himself up because he wanted to play with the Wii controller. It looks like we already need to set limits on video game times.

Also, thanks to Grandma Mudrick for the Ugly Doll. Not only does Ethan still love playing with it, it also may have saved his life.

He is such a cute baby! I can't get over it every time I see your blog I just want to give him a big squeeze! Great video, kinda funny at little Ethan's expense.
