Ethan is 8 months

Ethan is 8 months old!!!  I cannot believe how big he is getting!  Ethan is so smart and has definitely started waving to people intentionally and has started to sign "all done" occasionally.  He is doing better and better with naps, though a consistent daily schedule, he has not.  He is mostly very adaptable and will be able to stay awake all morning if we are out running errands.  This sometimes leads to a nice long afternoon nap….but not always.  He is eating 3 meals a day and still nursing 5 times.  He had his first ear infection and a little cold bug, which caused some night wakings.  So there were a couple weeks when he went back up to nursing 6-7 times a day.  He has definitely been able to go longer than 3 hours pretty consistently between nursings, so I think it won't be long before he's only nursing 4 times a day.  He is crawling so fast!  He pulls up to his knees a lot, and tries to stand some, but is still very wobbly!  I know it won't be long before I have to go chasing him to make sure he doesn't go up the stairs!!  Ethan is very playful, loves to laugh, and loves people.  He is beginning to show some separation anxiety from mommy, but for the most part still does really well.  His favorite toys are his activity table, any ball or car, remote controls, and the spring doorstopper behind all of our doors!  He now has 4 teeth, as the top middle two poked through a couple weeks ago.  He is a great little sleeper, and is usually ready for bed between 7:30 and 8, and wakes up typically between 7:15 and 7:30.  I'm not sure how much he weighs but I'm guessing we are nearing 22 lbs and are probably right around 30 inches tall!  He is really fitting well in all of his 12-18 month clothes, and can still squeeze into some of his 9-12 month stuff.  We've had a couple days of nice weather and Ethan just absolutely loves to be outside.  He loves to look around at all the different noises and smile at passersby!!
