The good news: Ethan is crawling and pulling up! He started this past weekend and he is already an expert. He is only 7 months old, so I am surprised that he started so soon! Elijah didn't crawl or pull up until he was 9 months, so I thought I had a little while longer. Boy, was I wrong! It is really funny because Ethan can now crawl to get whatever toy he wants, which is usually the one Elijah has. Elijah gets mad, of course, and Ethan thinks it is hilarious, but it nice that they will be able to have more interaction now. Right now Ethan has crawled over to where Elijah was playing with the stack of clean diapers, and now Elijah is putting the cloth prefolds on Ethan's head! Ethan is giggling like crazy! It is so funny.
The bad news: My grandpa is really sick. His heart has stopped beating several times in the past 3 days, and they had to put in a pacemaker. I am praying that the pacemaker works and that he can get back to his normal life. He has been in the ICU at St. John's since the ambulance brought him there on Saturday afternoon. Apparently he was just sitting in his chair, watching the Cardinals game, when he passed out because his heart stopped. How scary this must have been for my grandma, who had to call 911 and watch the EMTs shock his heart back to beating. I will update you all on his status over the next few days, but please be praying for my PaPa!
