7 months old and 53 months old

Cooper was 7 months old yesterday.

We didn't take a picture or post yesterday because, big surprise, we were at the doctor with a double ear infection. So here is a picture of Cooper at 7 months and 1 day old.
He is MUCH better today. He had a shot of rocephin and we are going to see an ENT on Friday.
At 7 months old, Cooper likes to eat everything especially "Saturday morning pancakes". He babbles all the time and can say "Ada" now. We think that means "Caden" because he says it when Caden is around or when he's trying to get Caden's attention. He can sit up by himself and he can roll over both ways. We think he is going to skip crawling and go straight to walking any day now. He is getting his first tooth as well.

Caden was 53 months old on the 17th. When Caden realized it was Cooper's birthday this week he asked how many "months old" he was. We told him 53 months so he wanted his 53 month birthday posted on the blog too. Thank God he isn't an only child anymore...

At 53 months old, Caden doesn't EVER stop talking, loves to play baseball, soccer, football and tennis and likes to watch ESPN with Daddy. He loves his 4 year preschool class, where a friend has introduced him to the concept of "guns". We here at home are extremely thrilled that he knows about guns now - ugh!

We are so blessed to have such a happy baby (even when he's been sick for the last 6 weeks) and an outgoing, gun-loving 4 year old.
