7 Months

It is time for the official 7 month post! This baby is just growing up too fast but he is adorable so every day is a joy! With the 7 month came some big events including my first spring break as a mom and let me tell you, I am thankful for being a teacher with a Spring Break! :)
  • Cole is breaking out of the 3-6 month clothes and fitting much better in the 6 month clothes. His short little legs won't work in anything bigger...he is challenged like his mommy in the pants department.
  • I would assume he is about 16-17 pounds.
  • He still is sleeping well, napping well, scheduled baby.
  • Everytime I put food to my mouth...his mouth opens. So, he has tried a plethora of real foods including chicken tortilla soup, cottage cheese, bananas, chicken, pickles, cookie, eggs, etc. I was thankful for my pediatrician telling me at the 6 month appointment that the allergy restrictions have become looser. So, we are trying everything but honey now!
  • We went for our first run with the jogging stroller. I ended up carrying for about 1/4 of the trip up and down the lake hills of Oconomowoc...ouch for me! But my view was pretty cute during the run.
  • He has pulled himself up into a standing position...strong boy!
  • SO close to crawling. He rocks and moves his legs but hasn't figured out the hands part.
  • We are beginning to have a bit of seperation anxiety. If I walk out of the room he screams. This has happened with Dawn as well. He just loves us so much!
  • When the kid is tired...put him to sleep! Oh my...he will just scream for no reason as he gets ready to fall asleep. Kind of funny...will not be so funny later in life.
  • He had his first surgery...poor baby!
  • Smiley happy boy!

  • Kyle is officially done with tax season...THANK GOD! So we are all getting reunited.

  • Three words to describe Cole (thanks for the idea Shannon) are ... Determined, Strong, Personality (big one)

This has been a fun month. Still so thankful for the gift of Cole. He is constantly making us smile and laugh.
Pictures of the baby...a bit unorganized but still cute! :)
