Colton Edward: 7 month Update




I believe that we are the luckiest parents in the world. You are such a good little boy.  You are the sweetest, happiest baby.  We can sit you on the floor with your toys or in your Exersauser and  you will just play by yourself.  You continue to "talk" all the time but no words yet.  The dogs don't pay much attention to you but you always smile at them when they walk by.  I definitely think you and Sasha will be pals as you get older.  She takes more interest in you than Charlie and often comes over to give you a sniff or lays down close to you on the floor.  Summer break has officially started and I am so looking forward to spending more time with you!

7 month update
Size:
Weight and Height:  I haven't been to group to weigh you in a few weeks but will be going later this week.  
Still wearing 12-18 months and even some 24 month clothes and size 3 diapers.  I recently went through all your clothes and put away all the 9 month stuff.

Food: We have tried food again and it is going much better.  You liked the banana and pumpkin puree. I have also started giving you small bites of veggies that we are having for dinner.  You even enjoy chewing on Cheerios.  Nursing is still going well.  I am so thankful that I am able to keep up with you.  We have stopped warming up any bottles we give you and you seem to enjoy the cold milk.  It could be the hot weather or that it might feel good on your gums.  

Sleep: 10 hours.  I have started to move your bedtime from 7 to 7:30-8 in hopes that you will sleep later.  You wake between 5:45-6:15.  I would love for you to go back to sleeping in until 7am but I will take the early mornings since you continue to sleep through the night.   You take a morning nap around 9 and a afternoon nap around 1:30.  Each last about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.  You also take a 45min - 1 hour nap around 4:30

Hair: One of my favorite things is when you run your hands through your hair when you are nursing.  I think it is the cutest thing.  

Eyes: You honestly have the most beautiful, big blue eyes with long lashes.  They ladies will love them one day.  

Activity: No crawling but still love to sit up.  You are constantly reaching for things when you are sitting up which causes you to end up on your stomach. You are getting better at learning to roll from your stomach to your back.  I often wake up in the morning to see you have rolled over onto your stomach in the middle of the night and instead of trying to roll back over you just sleep on your stomach.  

Likes: Mommy, kisses, playing with your toys

Dislikes: tired or hungry
