Ethan is 7 months old today. I can't believe it. I know I say that every month, but really, where has this year gone? He is now starting to scoot backwards. He still hasn't figured out how to get his knees up and under himself to crawl. He does great rolling over and pivoting around, though. He is still taking about 3 naps a day and sleeping 10-11 hours at night. He is also doing great on foods and will eat pretty much anything we have tried to give him. He even licked/chewed on a slice of lime the other day. He kept giving sour faces, but went back for more. We have also been trying to get him to practice with the sippy cup. He knows where it goes and can get it to his mouth, he just doesn't realize he needs to tip it up to get anything out of it. He is making lots of noises, too. Oh, and I think that the separation anxiety or whatever is just starting to appear. He tries to get up on my lap a lot now and will sometimes cry when I leave the room. I was kind of hoping that we would just skip this little stage, but it doesn't look like it. Anyway, it's cute for now. I kind of like that he wants to crawl into my lap and likes to be close to me.
