7 months

The little man is just to squirmy and interested in getting the blocks to do our usual poses, so Chris had this good idea!

 

 

Seven months old! Well, Evan is really 7 1/2 months old, because Momma is getting behind in blogging!! Chris has been traveling more for work lately which means that after Evan goes to bed I pretty much get everything ready for the next day and head to bed myself. It's really tiring taking care of him by myself! I seriously don't know how single parents do it!!

 

There have been a lot of milestones hit in the last month or so. Evan is scooting all over the place! He doesn't stick to the living room anymore (where his toys are). He explores into the dining room and kitchen now - and does it quickly too! We have baby-proofed a lot more of the house and installed the gate at the top of the stairs. We still have a little more to do, but it's all in places he hasn't found yet - yet being the key word!! He gets up on all fours and rocks a lot, sometimes moving his knees, but hasn't quite figured out the whole crawling thing yet - again, yet being the key word!

 

Evan is also the proud owner of a tooth! One of his bottom teeth popped out a few weeks ago and he's currently working on the other one. Thankfully it wasn't too much of a struggle. He is a little fussy at times and doesn't like to eat off of a spoon when his gums are sore, but mostly he just loves to chomp on things and drool.

 

He's still doing well with food, trying new things and eating things with a little more consistency now that the tooth is there to help chew! He loves to pick up and eat his puffs and he's also managed to feed himself some banana, carrots, bread and sweet potatoes.

 

Overall, he is still our happy little guy! He loves, loves, LOVES to play toys and read books. He has started talking, even saying "da da da," but we're not sure if he is associating it with Chris or not. We get lots and lots of smiles, snuggles and even some kisses. What more could parents want!!
