Ethan gets more mobile

Ethan has finally started to crawl "properly". He is now very mobile and even manages to get up the stairs etc. He is quite happy to climb the stairs to Nona's house. Obviously we still follow closely, just in case.

He seems to know that he cannot just go down stairs "face first", but does not seem sure what to do. With a little prompting though he gets it right and goes "feet first".

He also seems mobile with the walker, the same one Riley used. It is fairly stable, just not easy to turn etc.

As you will see in the video, he also manages to move between supports. He is cautious too, which is nice.

The other day he even managed to climb up on to the toilet using the step stool that we leave out for Riley. We found him happily sitting there playing with the toilet spray.

He is still not keen on standing. If you can get him distracted, he will stand for a few seconds, but if he is aware that he is standing, he tries to sit down.
