Ethan is 7 months old

Ethan continues to grow into such a happy baby boy!  He started taking some "crawling" steps just before his 7 month birthday, so I am certain we are in for it now!!  He has learned to clap and we think he might be waving, though we haven't determined if it's intentional or not.  He can get up to the sitting position on his own now too!  Army crawling is his preferred method of transportation and he has gotten really fast!!  He loves to chase balls around the house.  He has started to take some "steps" in the full crawling motion, so I know he will be hard to keep up with soon!  He continues to nurse about 5 times a day with an occasional day with only 4 times.  He is sleeping great and usually takes 2 naps, but some days will take a 3rd short nap.  He loves food and has increased what he eats.  He eats about 3-4 ounces at a meal now, and I am about to start giving him 2 meals a day.  I'm not sure what his favorite food is, as he eats everything very well!  My favorite to give him is avocado and I'm thankful that he loves it! He eat cheerios very well and has started trying small bits of other soft things like banana and avocado.  I prefer to feed him with a spoon though because it's much less messy!  He loves to go to the grocery store and sit like such a big boy in the cart.  His favorite though is when the "racecar" is available so he and Hannah can ride together.  Ethan loves bath time, peek-a-boo, and his sister!  We didn't go to the doctor this month so I don't have exact statistics on weight and height, but he has definitely grown taller!  He can easily fit into all of his 12-18 month clothes, can still wear his 9-12 month clothes, and has officially outgrown his 6-12 month gymboree/gap clothes.
