7 Month Update (Ethan)

I was hoping to get this post done last night, being Ethan's 7 month birthday, but time got away from me with all the videos etc.

Ethan is doing very well and seems to be tracking what Riley did (milestone wise) pretty well. The only difference we have spotted is that he has two teeth (front bottom) almost a month ahead of Riley.

He loves his food (still), but as with Riley does not really enjoy the home made versions with protien. He was fine with the butternut etc, but was not happy when we added meat, so we have resorted to Purity, which he loves.

Even Riley's eating seems to have improved. We no longer fight about food, but insist that she sits with us, if she does not eat that is OK, but no extras; not easy to enforce but it seems to be working.

This is a clip of the kids eating. Note Ethan and his cucumber - and the sound effects when he uses it to teethe.



Both kids also love the pool. Riley had a bad patch after the Christmas holidays. For two weeks she "hated" swimming lessons. On Saturday she went to play with her friend Meg, and came back a changed person.

She is now back to loving her swimming lessons with Joan (who also can't beleive the change). Long may it last.



This one is just a quick video of Ethan loving the noise he can make with the wind chimes.



And finally, Ethan crawlin/scooting. He is pretty mobile, and even comes when you call - if Misty is not too much of a distraction.

He does not seem too keen on the lawn in this clip but is normally OK. It is quite funny to see his reaction to the lawn though.

Lovely videos, especially Ethan practising his "Sky Diving" antics on the grass, he definitely has the right style, arms up and legs up and fly.........
I really enjoy browsing through your blog. Janine
