Seven


Seven months old!
Again, we are late. But getting these pictures done is the hardest ever. This was the best we could do, and thirty seconds later it was this....


At seven months Ethan can: 
*Army crawl. He gets up on all fours and will crawl for a little bit, but he just doesn't like it as much as the army crawl. 
*Pulling himself up on things. Crawling was only cool for about an hour. He needed to move onto bigger and better things immediately, and that means pulling himself up on everything. He is still trying to get used to it, so there is a lot of crying for help when he gets stuck, and falling on his bum. 
*Ethan has one tooth! We noticed it just yesterday, it's right in the front on the bottom. 
*Ethan is known as Tin Tin for his little hair flip in the front. It's too long for all of it to stick up anymore, but the front still tries to stand on its own. We help it out with gel when we want him to be extra adorable. 
*He will be known as the Destroyer2 (after his cousin Eli) as soon as he can walk on his own. He already does a pretty good job, but once he's mobile he will be unstoppable.
* He loves to watch Yo Gabba Gabba. He likes to watch things with music, but really gets into Yo Gabba Gabba. He even dances a little. :] 
*Ethan learned to clap. He claps when he gets something he wants, or when we say "Yay!" We are still working on waving, and he's almost got it. He's such a fast learner, it's amazing. 
*Ethan hates baby food. It think it just isn't chewy enough for him. He will eat a little bit of the ones with chunks, but then gets bored. He loves adult food. His favorite is sweet potatoes and beans. He also likes puffs and yogurt melts, which are a new addition to his diet. He can't get enough of them!
*Ethan has recovered amazingly from his surgery. We were prepared to have a couple of really hard days, but there was nothing. He has not acted like anything has bothered him at all, except for having to take medicine every day. He no longer has the drain from his bladder (YAY) and we have a follow up appointment on March 20th to make sure everything is okay! 
*Ethan loves his mom and dad. He is such a clingy little thing. It's cute sometimes, and not others. He says dad and mom, but not for what they mean. :] He says mom a lot when he's eating, so I believe he thinks all I'm good for is food. And the dad sounds come out when he's playing, so he must think dad is the fun one. :]
