big milestones

Ethan has decided that, even though he doesn't like to do it, he can crawl. He actually does more of an inchworm, using both elbows at the same time. Yesterday he crawled from the dining room, into a nearby room to get at two figurines that he really likes to look at and touch. He whined the whole way, but he made it there, probably around 10 feet total! And it took him quite a while to do it, too :) And then today, he figured out how to get from his tummy, back up onto his hands and knees and get back into a sitting position. He did it 2 or 3 times today. He's all set to go now! And now I just need to make sure I make him do it a few times a day to get good practice, and to get faster and faster. Also today, he finally started to side step a little and get from one end of the coffee table to the other. So fun!
