7 Months

Hunter Cole,

...you are 7 months old.

...you weigh around 16 lbs but I have no clue how tall you are.

...you are in mostly 6-9 month clothes.

...size 3 diapers

...you got sick for the 1st time this month.  We still don't know exactly what was wrong with you but it lasted over 2 weeks, so far.

...you still aren't sleeping through the night, but you are getting better.  You also still don't like to nap, but some naps are getting longer.  I had hoped to have you on a schedule by now, but we run, run, run so that's not been possible.

...you aren't nursing as often but I really have no clue how many times a day/how long you go in between feedings.  I feed you when I think you are hungry.  We have given you lots of baby food and you like most of  it.  You love bananas.  You've also eaten LOTS of table food and I think you prefer it over baby food.  You aren't crazy about juice or anything other than milk.  We have introduced sippy cups, but you mostly chew on them.

...you are rolling everywhere and I think you will be crawling soon.  You get up on all fours and rock back and forth.  You are great about scooting backwards but haven't figured out how to go forward.

...you still only have 2 teeth, but I think you may get some more soon!  You are chewing on everything!

...you like to be put down and left alone a lot of times.  Your granny says you will sit and play with your feet for 15-30 minutes when she watches you in the mornings.  You truly make her day!

...you LOVE your Aunt Cole.  She watches you while I work and takes great care of you.  AND spoils you rotten!

This month...

...you went to your 1st dinner at Granny's.  It was Thanksgiving and you tried her dumplins for the 1st time!

...you "aunt" Tess has watched you a couple of times.

...Tosha came to visit us.

...you had your 1st Thanksgiving!

...Daddy went away for the 1st time (non work related.)  He went to Indianan hunting and we stayed with Nana and Poppy.

...we put up our Christmas decorations.  Daddy went all out this year because it's your 1st Christmas.  He is so excited about Christmas with you!

...you said dada for the 1st time on Nov. 27th.

...you reached for someone for the 1st time.  It was your Nana on Dec 3rd.

...you went to see Santa for the 1st time.  You weren't scared of him and didn't cry!
