7 months

Ethan has just turned 7 months. Time is flying!

He is doing really well! He sits up on his own pretty good now. He is starting to try and crawl. He can get up on all fours and then he either goes backwards or if he tries to go forward he goes back to his tummy. I think he will be fully crawling shortly. If we put him on the floor, he will roll from one side of the room and back again. He is a mover!

His new "trick" is that he likes to pull his socks off his feet when he puts them in his mouth.

I am still giving him Gerber's baby food. I have put off making my own baby food until I am sure that I am healthy again. I had mono for the last couple of weeks. So I am thinking I will start in another week or two.

Today his daycare had their Halloween party, so everyone brought their costumes. Sandy said that Ethan really likes to chew on a girl, Summer's princess outfit. She kept saying that Ethan keeps getting my dress wet. Too cute.

Last weekend, I took Ethan back to Mankato and he took pictures with his cousin Colton in their Halloween costumes. I think he has only had to put on his monkey costume 9 times before Halloween has even come :o)

So far he is eating rice cereal applesauce, bananas, avocado, peas, carrots green beans, sweet potatoes, and prunes. He LOVES prunes! Just like I used to when I was a baby.

Here are some pictures of him eating recently........it is so fun when I put a little extra food on his tray, he loves to get messy and see what he can get into.
