7 months...

nothing better than a happy baby!

the day his tooth broke through~ loving the cold teether

Seven months old and seven million new things! Wow, lately everyday accompanies a new "first" for Ethan. Just 3 days into his seven month, "What is that I see....a tooth?" So we celebrated by giving Ethan something to chew on...puffs! Puff similar to cheerios but made for babies. However, he hasn't figured out how to feed them to himself quite yet, but he sure can open wide! Life with a baby just gets better and better!

Ethan Wyatt at 7 Months:

~can now sit in a highchair and shopping cart while out and about

~starting to wave, but not on demand (loves to watch his hand)

~starting to eat more solids and drink less milk

~watched his first snow flakes fall with Daddy

~slept on his belly for the first time

~started moving around in his bed by doing the "rolly polly"

~can stand alone (without help from mom) for short time when leaning up against something

~loves trains and tonka trunks

~will give you a nice wet kiss (it will melt your heart)

~still jumps nonstop! He may jump around before walking!

~hasn't rejected any baby food we have introduced (our new food is pumpkin with pear)

~starting to get a mini dose of the mommy-itis clingy thing when sleepy

~taking around 2 naps a day (seems to sleep really well for Daddy)

~David thinks he tried to call Alex...."ahh" and looked for him

~I'm hearing some "momma" noises when we are upset (but no official words yet)

I rang in the New Year with a little hard work! A 4 day stretch of work! Doesn't sound horrible, but 12 hour days make for loooong days. I would literally feed Ethan and walk out the door at 6am and come home at 8pm to find him sleeping. Boy did I miss him like crazy. I missed him so much I would get him out of bed while he slept and just hold him. They say never wake a sleeping baby...but it was tempting! However, props to his Daddy for taking care of him all four days! Not all Daddy's can do that. I knew he would be a good Daddy, but sometimes he amazes me. He even made Ethan homemade carrots and sweet potatoes.
