So Ethan is really taking off now that he's worked up the courage to take steps away from me, the furniture, and whatever else he can find to pull himself up to standing on. Yesterday he kept walking back and forth between the Xbox and the couch ottoman, a distance of about six feet. He absolutely loves to stand holding on to the television stand and push any and all buttons he can before getting scolded. In fact I just caught him trying to push the buttons on the satellite box (and now he's headed for the PS2...) as I wrote that last sentence. He's definitely David's son. Anything with a cord or buttons attracts him like a moth to a flame.
Anyways, back to the discussion about Ethan and his new skill. It's interesting to watch him learn to walk because he's doing so earlier and differently then Grace did. Grace started walking by standing up in the middle of the floor, taking a few steps, and falling down again. She didn't let go of the couch and walk away from it like Ethan does. No she was way too independent for "help" of any kind. She also learned to walk fairly early a month before her first birthday. It didn't seem to take her very long to master walking either. She was running by her first birthday. Heck, she's STILL running! I think it's safe to say that Ethan will be following in his big sister's footsteps in that regard.
And finally a soon to be outdated photo of Ethan crawling. I don't have very many crawling photos of Grace because we were in the middle of moving to our new house and unpacking when she was in that phase.

Laura's still only doing one step here and there - nothing like as fast as Ethan has picked it up! She's very timid and just sits herself back down instead of walking further. We thought for sure that she'd take off once she got a taste of that kind of independence.
