Ethan is teething lately and has been up very early every morning. This morning he woke me up at 5:30 which is late for him these past few weeks! So I got up gave him some milk and put him in his jumperoo to watch cartoons while I laid on the couch. At about 8 o'clock I figured I should get my lazy butt up and get him out of that thing. Afterall he will never walk if kept in that all the time. I turned to him and said "Do you want to get out?" He grunted "yes" and as I got up to get him he jumped in that thing. Only this time it was different. He jump with so much force and he angled his body so that he could hang over the edge a bit. His feet weren't on the ground, but he kept putting the weight of his body forward. He did it so much that the whole seat flipped over, all while he held on and once the seat was upside down he let go and fell out. He laughed the whole time! He is like Spiderman! Then he proceeded to crawl over to the couch and climbed up. He is only 31" tall I have no clue how the heck he was able to get up. How the heck did he know how to do that? There is no safe place for him anymore. If he can figure that out he surely can figure out how to get out of his crib. It's just a matter of time! Welcome to boys! haha! Emma NEVER climbed out of a crib etc. She was miscievous in other ways, but was never a climber. Ethan can figure things out whithout much thought though, so it's a bit odd but at the same time amazing that he is that smart. For instance cabinets. Emma struggled to figure out how cabinets opened. She eventually figured it out but she would feel the cabinet, but her hands on one side then the other until one day it worked. Ethan on the other hand, went up to the cabinet for the first time and just opened it. NO struggle at all, he just knew how to do it. So strange. The other day he went and picked up Phil's screwdriver and some washers that were on the ground (he is working on putting together a wagon but needs new hardware before he can finishes it. In the meantime everything is in our spare room waiting to be finished). He went over picked up the screwdriver, and washer, lined it up on the wagon wheel, and inserted the screwdriver and began twisting. How did he know how to do this. No one showed him! He saw it once and did it! It really amazes me. ONe other thing he does is when he walks with one of those push toys and gets himself in a corner, he will back up and turn it around and keep on going. Emma never did this! First of all she couldn't walk with those stupid things she always let it get away from her and she would fall. But if she did get stuck in a corner she would cry until she got help! I guess men really are better drivers and they are born with it! haha! It just amazes me the difference between them but most of all how smart Ethan seems to be. Amazing!
