7 months old



We have a 7 month old in the house!

Colton is doing great! We went to the Dr. on Tuesday. Here are his 7 month stats...
Wt 18 lb 13.5 oz (55%)
Ht 26 inches (50%)
HC 18 1/4 inches (95%)

Our little guy still has a large head for his age but the Dr. was very happy that the percentage had gone down 2% and said we didn't need to come back until his 9 month well baby check up. I was thrilled to hear that news!


In other news...

Colton's personality is really shinning through. He has his daddy's laid back demeanor but is like his mommy in the sense that he likes to have people around him. Just like me, he likes to be in on everything thats going on. Thankfully, he is still sleeping through the night. He wakes up, usually, one time to get his binki and is back to sleep right away. We put him down about 7:30 or 8 and he sleeps, on the weekends, until around 8. On week days we have to wake him up. He has started level 2 baby food. He loves to eat and is really enjoying all of the variety. He still loves his carrots but also loves mango and plain oatmeal cereal. He is eating two "meals" and has 5 bottles a day. Now that he has fully mastered sitting up he hates to be put on his back, which makes diaper changing quite a challenege. He is really interacting with everyone. He plays with you and talk to you. He is making lots of new sounds like "baba" and "rara". He has tons of fun toys but love our cellphones, the tv remote, and any type of paper more than anything is the world. He got a hold of an envelope last night and let us know he was NOT happy when we took it away from him. He also loves his jumperoo and jumps until he just can't jump any more. I more thing...Colton is finally getting some hair!!! I know it seems silly but he's been pretty bald up until the last few weeks. His hair seems to be blonde but, to us, theres quite a bit of hair there!!!
He is an absolute joy and we cant remember what we did before he was here. With each month that passes we have more and more fun. We just can't imagine what the future hold for our little guy and our family. We feel blessed to have had another healthy month full of so much excitement.
Happy 7 month birthday baby boy!

Here are some pictures from the last month...

PRECIOUS! I think I've told you this before - but Casen's head is in the 95 percentile too. My dr. isn't worried in the least.
