Ethan went to his 9 month check-up on Monday and is right on track for his age. He is 20.5lbs (47%ile) and 29.25 inches tall (81%ile). He's come down quite a bit on his weight percentile because of his new fat burning exercise called crawling! But he's still our baby giant on height.
Because Ethan is getting so big, we needed to get him a new car seat. His old one only went up to 22 lbs and our new one is a convertible car seat (rear or forward facing) and goes up to 65 lbs! He looks so little in this monstrous car seat. He still does a great job in the car and has plenty of room to grow!
The last 2 1/2 months I have been running 3 times a week with my friend Lauren to have some much needed girl time and some great exercise. On June 4th, we ran a 4 mile race at the Belton Research Hospital and supported a new dental clinic in Belton that will offer free or reduced dental services to thousands of kids in Cass county who don't have dental insurance. We felt really good about all our hard work, especially because we were the 7th and 8th place finishers! We sadly didn't take a picture together on race day, but we captured a running moment just last night! We didn't have time in our day to run until after 9pm and our loving husbands were fearful of our safety and provided us with super cool running gear (that we didn't wear!!). We just took our trusty mace with us!

Ethan met our friend Jesse who happened to be our waiter at Ruby Tuesdays one night. Ethan helped him rake in some tips by meeting everyone else in the restaurant!!
