Well On His Way to 1 Year


Evan is SEVEN MONTHS old!  Crawling has (of course!) really opened up the world to him.  Or, if not the world, then the house at least.  :)  He's an expert little crawler now and is starting to work on standing up from crawl position!  

Evan is very chatty.  He doesn't have much in the way of words (besides dada on occasion), but he does have a lot of sounds!  Speaking of things he has a lot of, he has a LOT of drool.  No teeth, but plenty of drool.  Enough to supply an army of babies!

Lincoln and Evan are spending more time together now that Lincoln recognizes Evan as a truly fascinating toy that can move.  Bentley and Jake and Viva continue to think he's the cutest little thing around.

And, because when you're the youngest of five you are never really alone, here is the big brother who wanted in on his 7 month photo shot:



Evan has been favoring big flat lip looks lately.  It's very cute.

His sister made some cute similar looks at his age:


But enough about THEM!  This was about Evan.  And we can't believe how big he is already (very chunky thighs!!), and what a cheerful little guy he is.  He's going to be tough as he always has someone (we won't name names, but he's under 2 and blond) climbing on him and knocking him over.  And he normally doesn't complain.  He's very good at waking up happy.  He normally wakes up with a smile and sometimes he just lays in his crib and rolls around quietly for a while.  I think he is enjoying the alone time (which he doesn't get much of.... !).

Evan is also (finally) getting better with eating.  It's taken him a while to decide he wants to swallow food and not just spit it back out.  But he's caught the vision now, I think!

Can't wait to see what month 8 brings!
