Cole and Casey

Cole is 7 months old today.... and he has had better days. Cole is currently dealing with the following ailments: Double ear infection, wheezing cough and a chapped face due to the drool that comes with teething... then tack on the fact that the chapped face itches and Cole has discovered that bibs, Mommy and Daddy's shoulders and the floor make for good stretching posts which all lead to rubbing it raw. And with all that... Cole still managed to give us a smile :) He is weighing in at 17lbs 2oz and currently 27 3/4 inches in length.

As you can see, Cole is "sans" hat. One of the milestones this past month is that Cole finished the "rounding of the head" exercise and has retired the Doc Band to a stuffed bear in his room (a post all about his band removal is waiting in the wings).

Cole has also become more and more active this past month. While he isn't crawling quite yet that never stops him from making his way across the room. He is quite the little steamroller. He can rock and roll his way all around his school and home. Cole has started to push his chest up and straighten his arms into what will become the "on all fours" position but the backside hasn't quite made it off the ground yet... in due time.

Cole continues to be a social butterfly and really enjoys the company of other kids. He "talks" with them and enjoys "sharing" toys (you take mine, I will take yours). He also has become quite fascinated with Cooper the dog. Cole loves going out in the back yard and watching Cooper chase the ball. He screams encouragement and laughs as Cooper plays keep away from Mom and Dad.

As always... here is the updated look back at 7 months
