Cooper is 7 months old and boy oh boy is he all boy!
*Cooper is wearing a size 4 diaper now to help with leakage. We have switched back to our trusty old Pampers!
*Cooper wears size 9 month or 12 month clothes. I am tired of buying a new wardrobe every 3 months so I am buying 12 month stuff now and some 18 month stuff for Summer.
*Cooper weighs around 18 pounds. He is in the 50% for weight, height and head circumference.
*Coop eats three solid meals a day. He has rice cereal during the day at school, and a veggie/fruit for lunch, then usually a meat and oatmeal for dinner.
*Cooper still nurses every 2 hours or so.
*We are still battling the bedtime changes. He still wakes about 45 minutes into the night most nights (sometimes even sooner) and then sleeps in 2-3 hour increments usually. I have been trying a lot of different things to change this behavior. Crying it out just hasn't worked on him so we are having to get creative. In the past month we have had quite a few more sleeps through the night after that first wake up but have also had a few nights where he wakes every hour or even more.
*Cooper is a rolling machine!
*He is also army crawling and inching along to wherever he wants to be. He does push ups too and tries to get his knees under him.
*Cooper is finally sitting unsupported some, but still needs to be spotted. I know he can do it, but feel like he is just too busy to stay still long enough to stay in one place for any amount of time.
*Cooper got his first ear infection this month. :( He also got pink eye this month.
*When we are at home (as opposed to school) he usually takes a 45 minutes-2hour morning nap about 2 1/12 hours after he wakes up each morning. He is usually about ready for another nap after 2-3 hours of awake time but it is always hit and miss whether I can get him to settle enough to take another one.
*Cooper has started babbling big time this month. He has just recently started saying what sounds like da-da!
*Cooper is also really into toys now. I recently got all of Devin's toys for 6 months plus down out of the attic, and they both had a great time exploring them all, and fighting over them. Oye!
*Cooper had his first babysitter come to the house this month. He was such a happy baby that day and did great for her. He didn't even wake up at his usual 45 minutes!
*Cooper has had a cold for pretty much the last two months. I will be happy when cold and flu season is over and he has some time to not be sick. He usually ends up taking breathing treatments with most colds.
*At school Cooper holds his own bottle, and usually drinks around 3 oz of breastmild every two hours.
*Cooper's hair is so very blonde and so far his eyes are still blue! I love how his hair sticks straight up in the air!
*He loves to be worn still and we have recently tried out a different wrap style carrier in a forward facing position. He really liked that!
*Many mornings when I go to wake hime up, he is sleeping on his belly!
Oh how we all love our littles!
