7 months old

Has it really been seven months since this guy was born? I feel like it was just yesterday!! 
The past month has been a tough one with him... he has just been fussy and we have had a hard time figuring it out... but the past few days we have given him lots of gas drops and it is back to happy easy Evan. I guess his little body had a hard time with gas once he started solids. Once you have things figured out kids like to throw you for a loop I guess.
He is going through a mommy only phase... I love it and hate it at the same time. It really is awesome to be the best thing in the world to someone... but it is exhausting... especially when that little one is having a really hard time sleeping. 
In these pictures you can't really tell his eye color. We aren't entirely sure that it is settled but they are hazel right now... how crazy is that? 3 kids each with a different eye color... what are the odds of that? Probably a lot higher than having a kid with hemophilia.
Evan loves his siblings right now. He spends a lot of his time laughing at every thing they do. If Ezra is throwing blocks across the room Evan is laughing. If Eve is playing dress up Evan is laughing at her. That is the best part of siblings. Ezra likes to attempt to ride Evan as he scoots around on the floor. Eve likes to carry him... all 17 plus pounds of him... It is enough to give the adults seeing this a heart attack.
Evan is getting around but not classic crawling yet. I think this is because he thinks that he can get up on his feet and walk... he spends hours getting up on his toes... please don't be an early walker. He can get up from his tummy to sitting position no problem right now. He also thinks he is a big boy now and doesn't want pureed foods any more.
Friday Evan gets to go to Seattle for his hemophilia check-up. So far we haven't had to treat him so I think we are pretty good. He has had some good bruises... but I was noticing tonight when I bathed him that he doesn't have a single bruise on his body right now... what are the odds of that? You would think I have been wrapping him in bubble wrap or something. Nope just that lucky. With Ezra I don't think we had a bruise-free time once the bruises started so it is nice that at least for today Evan looks like a normal baby.
