Seven Months

H is for Handsome.  Yep.  That's what the shirt says so it must be true!

Baby Stats:

Weight: 19-20 lbs.  

Sleep: Aside from teething last week, we were doing great with sleep.  Colin goes down between 8-8:30, usually up close to 6am, and then back down for 1-2 hours.  But the teething has interrupted  this great schedule-- mostly because when I let him cry it out, he gets so much mucus built up that then he pukes.  So I have been giving in to his crying but we will get back on track as soon as that tooth pops through.

Feeding: Colin has been a bit of a picky eater lately.  Not so much in what he will he but who he will eat for!  Of course Mama is his favorite and I can usually get a meal down but its been a struggle with others lately.  But Colin's FAVORITE now is yogurt!  Unfortunately, we over did the dairy a bit so we have backed off now.  He did have some on Sunday for dinner and was so happy!

Diapers: size
Clothing: Mostly 9 month clothes.  

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Brown

Milestones: First word (?!) Ba Ba Ba.  He says it all the time- I'm not sure it really has a meaning but it is definitely intentional and not just a funny sound coming out of his mouth!  And another tooth is working its way thru on the top!
Nicknames: Goomba
Favorites: Johny Jump Up, stroller rides, being outside, sitting by himself, playing in front of the mirror, Dupree, bath time

Colin,

I cannot imagine life without.  I can't imagine not seeing your beautiful smile and hearing your laugh every day.  You are the best!  Every month I say that this is the best month and again, its true that you are so fun and I can't imagine anything better.  But I'm sure at 8 months I will say the same!  You are so smiley and happy all the time.  Everyone asks if you really are like this all the time and it's the truth!  Even while teething this month, you have been happy and easy.  I can't wait to explore the outdoors with you.  You heard your first lawn mower this weekend and you were very curious to see what the noise was.  I know that the months ahead and going to be fascinating and exciting for you!  

My heart explodes with love for you and celebrating my first Mother's Day was amazing.  I'm blessed and spoiled by you and your daddy!  You're my favorite boys (and Dupree!).  I love you so much it hurts!

XOXO, 

Mama
