I Said I Would Never Let This Happen

When Dawson was a baby I took tons of pictures of him. In fact, our computer is filled with folder after folder of Dawson pictures. Cooper on the other hand has only one folder designated to photo's of just him. Before I had my second child people warned me that this would happen and I said I would never let it. Little did I know how busy life with two little ones would be. Alas, I realized the other day that I have failed to post Cooper's 7 & 8 month updates. So, here we go, I figured I better do it before it's time to post his 9 month picture! These posts are mainly for my benefit, there's no way I'd remember all these little details for Cooper's baby book!

7 months

Weight: 17. 5 bls (aprx)
New Things: He has started solid foods. He has tried rice, wheat & barley cereal, bananas, apples, green beans, peas and corn. So far banana is his favorite.
Newest Trick: He has become a pro at rolling over and uses this new trick to move around the room.
Tooth: He now has his bottom 2 front teeth.

Favorite Toy: His excersaucer

The Favorite Excersaucer

Cooper's first taste of real food, rice cereal. (He wasn't too sure what to think)




8 Months

Weight: 19lbs.

Eating: Banana is still by far his favorite and he's learning to eat it on his own thanks to the "Sassy Teething Feeder" (love this). He has now tried egg yolk, pork, and kidney beans. He actually burst into tears when I fed him kidney beans, definitely not a fan!

Sitting: He is learning to sit on his own, but still needs a bit of assistance and pillows in case he falls over.

Favorite toys: Anything big brother is playing with. (Big brother is not such a fan of this)

Favorite Time of Day: when daddy gets home from work. I love watching him giggle and smile whenever Dave walks in the door.

Favorite Game: He loves it when you mimic the sounds he makes.

Another visit to the doctor: It's seems that every time he catches a head cold it turns into a chest cold. Now he has 2 inhalers, one to use when he has a bad cough and one for if he has difficulty breathing (thankfully we haven't had to use this one yet). The doctor says he is showing some signs that he may be prone to asthma, but there's really no way of knowing yet.
