7 Months

Well, Cooper has been doing such a great job sleeping in his own bed!  He adapts so well and is a loving baby.  The older he gets, the more affectionate he is!  I'm sad to see him growing so fast, but I love how he reaches for me and grabs my face when he gives me kisses!  He opens his mouth real wide, grabs my cheeks and leans in for a big, slobbery smacker!  Cooper has also taught himself how to sit on his own!  I have to admit, I'm relieved that he has learned this because he has become a "hold me" baby which can be physically taxing.  And, we no longer have a food fight with fruits.  He pretty much loves everything (just like his momma)!  His newest favorite activity is to blow "bubbles".  He learned this during our swim lessons when I was teaching him to blow under water.  Now he does it all the time!  It's really cute!
Lastly, Aaron and I have started back at work and it is still definitely just as difficult to leave him as it was the first time after maternity leave!  I can tell.  I'll be one of those sentimental mommies, crying as I leave my baby boy at college.  But, let's not think about that yet!
