7 months old

Cooper turned 7 months old on Saturday! He is getting SO big. Every day I look at him, and I'm just amazed that he is my child. I love him so much and can't wait to see what is going to happen the next 7 months.

Here are some things about our 7 month old:

• He is wearing 6 to 9 month clothes, but he is fixing to go up to 12 months for onesies and sleepers. He is just SO long!
• He is probably over 19 pounds now. Big Boy!
• He is eating baby food 2 times a day. Once at lunch, and once at dinner. He is trying to take a sippy cup, but has not mastered that. He just started trying finger foods. So far he hasn't gotten them into his mouth, but he is trying!
• He still LOVES to nurse. If he is upset, I know that is one thing that will calm him down!
• His sleep schedule is not consistent. When he turned 6 months old, he went through a period of separation anxiety. He had been falling asleep on his own and sleeping 10 to 12 hours at night. Well, once 6 months rolled around, he screamed going to bed and had to be rocked to sleep. He was/is also waking up several times at night wanting us. It has been VERY hard. Especially since we have been out of town a lot! Anyways, last night he slept through the night, so we are hoping he has turned a corner! We'll see how this night goes!
• He is very close to crawling. While sitting up, he will lean forward and get on his hands and knees. He will sometimes rock back and forth, but never gets that leg going with him. Sometimes he will even face plant! I know that it won't be long though until he can figure it all out!
• He likes to shake his head "No". I don't think he is doing it on purpose. I think he just likes the way it feels.
• He has just started waving his hand. He turns it towards himself and waves. So cute!
• He is liking books more and more. He definitely has his favorites, and loves to read them over and over.
