Evan will be 7 months on Thursday! I can't believe it! He's gotten so big. I found out that with Carters Clothing it's 12 months sizing. With other brands it's 18 months, minus one brand called "little rebels." We have an overalls outfit for him from that brand but it's rather big. He's outgrowing his 6-12 months shoes and I bought him size 4 soled shoes so he'll be wearing his first real shoes soon!
He loves to pull himself up on my hands and start walking. At first he only walked backwards, but now he can go forward and turn himself to the side as well! Mostly he just goes forwards or backwards though. He used to bounce a lot when being supported, but it's all about walking or standing now. He rolls everywhere, works on crawling sometimes, but mostly just rolls or pushes his butt up into the air with his feet so that he's in the up dog position from yoga. It's so funny!
His favorite foods seems to be banana and grains. However I took out all gluten so now he's only eating rice grains like Brown Rice Pasta, Brown Rice Bread, and Chex. I noticed he does much better with gluten free grains than glutenous grains. Those caused major gas and constipation for him. Gluten Free grains don't do that to him. I will try wheat again when he's a year, maybe even again at 9 months, but in the mean time I'm not allowing them. It's the same with dairy. I'll try it when he's 9 months, if he has a problem with it then, I'll try again at 12 months. For some reason I'm thinking he'll have a problem with it considering all the problems we've had with formula. But I hope he won't have a problem with it. Same with wheat/gluten. I really don't want him to have all the allergies I have. If he does at least I'll know how to handle it, but it would make me a little sad.
He loves to talk and is very vocal. Especially when upset. He has formed some of the strangest syllable and constant combination's. Joe and I always get a little awed over them. Yesterday morning when he woke up he was laying on the bed as I put on my wool socks and sweater and out of the blue said "OK." It was so cute! He was just laying there holding his feet watching me with a smile. It was like he was saying "OK lets go."
He has 4 teeth in at the moment and 2 more are coming in. The teeth in are the bottom front 2 and then the 2 front teeth that are on each side of the middle front teeth. Does that make sense? If you were to see him smile he'd look like he's missing his 2 front teeth because that space is still empty. But they are coming in slowly. I can see a bit of white on the right front spot and the other is swollen. He's a trooper though. He still sleeps pretty well at night, only wakes up 2 times while teething with the exception of the occasional 3 times that usually happen just before the teeth come through.
Overall, I'm just completely amazed at how much he's grown and how his personality as developed. He's my cutie patootie wild thing. I've decided that for Halloween I want to dress him up as either Max or one of the Wild Things from Where the Wild Things Are! He's been such a blessing, even when I'm completely tired and just wishing he'd go down for a nap (he fights them like they are evil). But I'd never wish he wasn't around.
