First tiny step, First plane ride, and First "mom-mom"

We went to Utah over Labor Day and we were very anxious about flying with Ethan - but he did GRRREAT! Much better than expected - even pooped at the appropriate times (in the airport rather than on the planes). Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Great weather, no bumps....one flight attendant didnt' even realize that he was in the back! She made that comment when we got off the plane. Ethan has grown mentally in the past week - he's walking one-handed, even took a tiny independent step on his own, and is starting to say mom-mom-mom-mom a lot. He's also starting to be a "biter" too, not so good. His teeth are bothering him a lot now. While in UT he got to meet and see a lot of family including 2 aunts, one uncle, 2 grandparents, 2 step aunts & uncles, 3 distant cousins (not totally sure about the family lineage there)...and a dog....WAIT, I mean 3 dogs, can't leave them out.
