Seven Months Old!

We can hardly believe Cole is seven months old! (We know, we say that every month....) These days, he's doing fun things like moving himself in circles when he's playing on his tummy (and in bed when he's supposed to be sleeping!), smiling for the camera (we just have to say, "Smile for Momma (or Daddy)!" or sometimes just hold up the camera!), standing and bouncing in our laps (and attempting steps when we hold him in walking position), practicing his consonants, and, our favorite, exercising his self-will. He is also coming along in the world of solid foods, having mastered rice cereal and all sorts of fruits and veggies from apples to ... well, squash (we'd like to say zucchini, but he hasn't gotten to that one quite yet). We love you, little buddy! 11/21/2011.
