Happy 7 months Colin!

We cannot believe how fast time flies.

Colin is 7 months old today!

He is getting so big.

He is growing and doing new things every day.

Colin weighs 18.2 pounds and is 28 1/2 inches long.

He is wearing mostly size 6 months in clothes, but they are starting to get too short.  9 month is still a little too big in the arms and body, but pretty good with length.  He is wearing size 3 diapers.

His eyes are still pretty dark...they are probably going to be brown.  His hair is light brown and continues to thicken up.  We have started brushing it over to one side like a big boy.  :)

Along with more hair, comes more bed head.  You can tell when he has been laying down...his hair is a little messy.  He still looks like a good mix of mommy and daddy.

He is still sleeping in his pack and play next to mommy and daddy's bed, but he is becoming more mobile so we will have to either start putting him in his crib or lower his pack and play pretty soon.  He still goes to sleep between 7:30 and 8:30, but is waking up between 4:14 and 5:15 for a bottle and then he goes right back to sleep.  He has also started going to sleep on his own.  After his bottle, we have started putting him down and he will snuggle with his lovey and falling a sleep.

He drinks 5-6 oz every 3 to 4 hours.  He also eats a fruit in the morning and veggie and 1/2, somewtimes a whole, fruit every night.  He loves sitting in his high chair while we eat dinner and I've started letting him have more tastes of our food. 

He is getting much better at holding his own bottle and he is sitting up like a pro.  He is also in the beginning stage of crawling.  He will go up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth.  He is also pretty good at army crawling backwards.  He has mastered reaching and grasping for whatever he wants within reach including the remote control and mommy's cell phone...those are by far his favorites.   

He is really starting to show his personality. He has so many fun facial expressions and has started poking his bottom lip above his top lip. He loves blowing bubbles and sticking out his tongue. He is also imitating sounds.  His favorites is da-da...he seems to say that all the time now.  He has said ma-ma a few times.  He thinks fake caughing is really funny so I was doing that to him the other night and he started imitating me.  He is also reaching so much and showing a preference for who is holding him.  He has been quite the daddy's boy lately.

He officially has two teeth, both on the bottom.  He doesn't like for you to feel them either...he will clench his little lips together.  He still enjoys watching Baby Einstein and Wonder Pets.  Bath time is still one of his favorites...he no longer uses his baby tub.  He actually took his first shower with dad this past weekend.  He was trying to reach and grab the water as it was coming down.  He seemed to enjoy it.  I look forward to see what new things the next month brings.

Happy 7 months Colin!

Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
