7 Months

Happy 7 months little Cooper man! 

 

What's new:

 

Holds his own bottle.

Rolls over from back to tummy and tummy to back.

 Loves eating solids - I didn't introduce a single veggie/fruit thing with him like I did with Alyssa, I just went all in.  I have been mixing fruits and vegetables together for him and his all time favorite is this combo: apples, blueberries, baby kale and spinach. 

 

Able to get on his hands and knees

 

Loves to talk and says abababah

First official word is Dada!!!

 

 

We have a crawler!  Well...it's more of an inchworm craw or as his teacher says, "it looks like The Worm (the dance move) but in slow motion!"  And by the way - I LOVE THAT SMILE AT THE END!!!

 



 

Sister and brother are obsessed with each other!

7 Months

Alyssa turned 7 months on November 2nd and is 32 weeks today.  I've slacked off this month on posting on her 7 month birthday but better late than never, right? :)

 

 

 

 

What's new:

 

• Loves playing peek-a-boo and knows to cover her face and uncover.

 

 

 

• She's been scratching the crap out of her right ear that we've put socks on her hands before putting her down for the night, but they never stay on for long.  She's figured out how to pull it off!
• Caught her first cold right before Halloween with a temperature of 102 that lasted for 3 days.
• Was a yellow jacket for Halloween.  I think this costume is very fitting since I'm always calling her my busy bee.

 

 

 

• Tried kiwi

• Knows the sign for "milk".  She was hungry and wanted some so she signed for it.
• Knows how to give kisses and by kisses, I mean she tries to eat your face!  She'll lean in with her mouth open to "kiss" you.
• She shows her love and affection for you by putting her hand on you and leans her head into you.
• Is very close to crawling!

 

• She's able to pull her bib off.
• Tried puff cereal and is able to grab and successfully put it in her mouth once or twice but gags when she tastes the cereal.  We think she does that because she's not used to that much flavor.  Everything she's eaten so far are pretty bland.  It's probably why she's not liking fruits yet.
• Her first official word is Dada!!
