Big Boy: 7 Months

   

WOW! Look at that handsome little man...I know I'm the mom and see him everyday, but I can't believe that is my baby. So grown-up. Such a big boy.

Last week Evan looked so adorable with his snappy plaid shirt, fohawk hair and skeleton hightop Chuck Taylors that I couldn't resist taking a couple of photos. He is such a stinker and refuses to look at me when I get the camera out, so I had to haul along the sisters to jump up and down behind me. He ALWAYS smiles at his sisters.

I love that I was able to capture pieces of his personality right now. He is sweet, bright eyed, happy and still has some serious eyebrow expressions (check out photo #2).

**************************

He is growing and developing more and more everyday. Here are a couple of 7 month achievements:

• Wants to be sitting up ALL THE TIME. And once he is up, he will just sit for hours. And if he does ever fall over, he only rolls to the left, never the right.

• LOVES to eat. Baby food is okay, but just devours 'real' food. We are constantly trying to trick him by pretending to scoop food off our plates and really giving him baby food. He knows the difference and just spits the baby food back out. 

• Still loves to be wrapped up nice and tight in a blanket to go to sleep. The tighter the better and he is almost always still wrapped up nice and tight in the morning. 

• LOVES to jump. We have an old-school baby jumper that hooks in a door frame and he goes crazy in it. I will have to post a video, it is hilarious. He jumps for at least 45 minutes every time we hook him up and several times he has fallen asleep hanging in the jumper.

• Likes to play the Shy-Guy game. Whenever Evan gets really excited about something or someone he gets 'shy' and buries/smacks his face into whatever is closest (a shoulder, a stuffed animal, the couch, the ground, etc.....) and then immediately peeks to see if the person or thing is still there.  He does it over and over, burying and then peeking, burying and peeking. It is hilarious. He especially loves to play it with Derek.
