8 Months

Ethan turned 8 months old and we all think he is growing up too fast.  He can scoot around on the floor pretty well and get to things.  We are all trying to make sure that things are not left on the floor, this has been a challenge for the girls as they tend to leave stuff lying around.  He will get on his hands and knees for just a little bit and then plop back down so I think he will be on the move very soon.

He is ticklish and I can just wiggle my fingers toward him and make him start smiling and laughing. He is starting to get some teeth on the top and I think it bothers him a good deal.  One day he was pretty fussy and Scott said 'where did you get this baby' because it really is very unlike him to be upset.  We let him chew on some ice and a frozen banana and by the next day he was his happy self again.

The girls are still very helpful and love him so much.  Emma has even changed a few diapers for us lately.
