7 months old

Well we can hardly believe that Ethan is 7 months old! He is becoming so much more active and expressive and I'm sure soon to be mobile! A few things about Ethan at 7 months:

-He is learning to sit up by himself very well.
-He really likes rolling over in his crib and has finally learned how to roll back. For a long time he would just roll over to his tummy and stay wedged against the side of the crib. Now he is rolling back which makes our job a bit easier since we don't have to go and roll him back over.
-His fine motor skills are developing. He picks up smaller objects and is very good at getting them straight to his mouth.
-He has teeth! The two bottom teeth are slowly moving on in - very sharp, but very cute!
-He is loving solid foods. Right now he eats a good breakfast and dinner and we will be adding lunch probably over the next week or so. We have taught him to keep his "hands down" when he eats but he often will have just one hand raised as if giving a testimony or asking a question - it is too funny!
-He laughs and laughs, especially when Papa tickles his tummy with his nose.
-He is gaining strength in his arms and pushes up a lot when he is on his tummy. No crawling yet but he's getting there little by little.
-He is still wearing 12 month clothes but he is getting ready to move on up to the next size pretty soon.

Here are a few pics from our 7 month photo shoot on Jan 6th:
