Toilet Paper!!

It all begins with an excited grin when he sees the bathroom
Aha! He spots the TP
He's making his way to it
Finally! Now he can unroll it!
Look how happy he is (can you tell he just woke up?)

Ethan has always had somewhat of a bathroom fetish. Since it looked so appealing, it was the first room he crawled to, all the way from the living room and he hasn't stopped ever since! He started by loving to fling the spring behind the door, to pulling up to standing on the tub, to opening and closing the cupboard doors, and now to getting wedged between the toilet and wall, unrolling the toilet paper and EATING it!!
I'll often try to distract him in the living room with a musical toy, then quickly sneak into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Well Ethan apparantly has some kind of built in bathroom sonar, and no sooner have I turned on the water, that Ethan is right there with his excited face (scrunched up nose and heavy breathing), with only one thing in mind; "MUST GET TOILET PAPER!" It doesn't matter how much I try to distract him, he is clearly a male and has a one track mind once he has something on it.
As you're reading, I'm sure you're thinking to yourself "why don't you just take the toilet paper off the roll." Good idea, after scooping wads of TP off the roof of his mouth, that's exactly what I did. (j/k, I do actually keep an eye on him and he's never actually "eaten" it, he just tries)

aw, what a little sneak! :) He looks SO big in those pictures! Is he standing up on his own in the middle of a room yet?

No, he's not standing alone yet. We're working on it though. He just plops right down on his bum. We know he can do it though, because Chris balances him on his hand and Ethan uses his arms and knees to balance himself.
