Here is the latest video of Ethan, walking out in the driveway with his walker toy. He's getting very good. Last week, he couldn't do it without somebody providing a kind of brake for him so it wouldn't go too fast and fall. Then, earlier this week, he pulled himself up and walked across our play area no problem. He does seem to drag his left foot a bit and turn it out to the side. We're going to have his physical therapist take a look. It could very likely just be a balance thing for him.
We also went to the doctor this week for his 9 month appointment. He weighs 20 pounds and is 28 inches. He continues to be in the 90th percentile for height, but he's moved to the 50th for weight. Both Will and I were surprised to find he had only gained 2 pounds in the past three months. It sure feels like he's gained a lot more! It makes sense, though, since now he's crawling and walking around so much. He's slimmed down.
And his sleeping is slowly but surely getting better again. I've had to let him cry at night, which hasn't been easy but last night he finally slept 11.5 hours with no waking! Unfortunately, his wake up time these days is around 5. But he seems to be resisting his naps lately and taking very short ones, making him tired very early in the evening. It's all a trial and error game. Quite frankly, I'm tired (literally) of playing.
Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!
