7 months old

I'm only a week late writing this:/ Things have been crazy, between Cole getting over his cold/ear infection, teething, crawling... YUP!! Cole started crawling the exact day he turned 7 months old! He didn't really start going until Monday. And he hasn't stopped since. Seriously!! If I want to show someone how he crawls, all I have to do is put something out that he isn't supposed to have. He is such a busy body. So now I am in the process of baby proofing everything! On top of crawling he has now learned how to pull himself up in the crib. I think I had a heart attack the first time I went in and he had himself pulled up on the rail! So tonight, we lower the crib:( My baby is growing up too fast.

So, back to 7 months. This is what little man can do:
-Eats 3 meals a day ( 3 meals of puree and 2 with cereal)
-Down to 4 bottles a day
-3 naps a day (a short one in the morning and late afternoon and if we are lucky a long ... hour or hour and a half around 1pm)
- He is in a convertible car seat now
-Crawling
-Still rolling all over
-Lots of babbling...lots!!
-Starting to pull himself up on things
-Can go from sitting to crawling position and back to his booty
-Plays with his box of toys by himself for about 10-15 minutes!!
-Wears 12-18 or 18 month clothes

Another thing I learned in the last week is I can no longer wedge him in on my bed while I shower. I had a system. I'd put a body pillow behind him. Prop him in the boppy, then put 2 long pillows on either side and one in front. He would sit there and watch a baby praise and worship dvd a friend gave me. He LOVES this 30 minute dvd. On Sunday, I was in the shower and I peeked out to check on him and he had pulled himself to his hands and knees and was leaning over the front pillow. I yelled to Jared to quickly come get him!! So that was the end of that. I can't believe how big he is getting. Every day he seems to surprise me with something new:)





Go Bucks!!
