mama's due… with baby #2!!

Yep, it is true!! Our little Gautreaux clan is growing again. We are excited, scared, and everything in between to welcome another baby into our lives. I mean two babies 15 months apart?!? Not scary at all ;) All jokes aside, we know God wouldn't give us anything we couldn't handle and are ready for the challenge. So sometime around November 8th we will be adding a new little babe into this world!! 

cooper (7 months old)

7 months as of 3/27/14

Weight: 19.4 lb

Sleeping: Feeling like I repeat myself every month but we are so lucky with this boy and his sleeping habits! 

Eating: He has now tried all of the first foods and we are mixing now. He loves everything but blueberries and peas. He refuses to eat either on of those but loves anything else and will finish anything I put in front of him!

Firsts: crawling!! We now have a crawling boy on our hands. teeth! He went from zero to two teeth in one day. He was such a trooper and barely gave us any sign of teething besides the constant drooling and chewing on everything in sight. puffs! He didn't like them at first but has come around to them and loves snacking on puffs after a meal or for a snack, yogurt! He loves him some yogurt! We have tried a bunch of flavors and he likes them all. We buy the YoBaby yogurt and it is great. It's organic and comes in the cold section with all of the other yogurt which I love (The thought of buying yogurt off of the shelf not refrigerated just doesn't seem right to me)! We got a swing for outside and Cooper loves it! He loves looking around and watching the dogs play.

Liking: mama and daddy, tv, iPad, Sophie the teething giraffe, jumperoo, high chair, bed, Aden and Anais blankets, bath time, dogs, high chair toys, walker, baby cage, outside swing

Disliking: when mom has to get boogies out of his nose, being alone, sleeping on his back, blue berries, peas

cooper (6 months old)

We are super behind on our monthly updates since Cooper will be 8 months next week but trying to catch up on my week off!

6 months as of 2/27/2014

Weight: 18 lb

Sleeping: Still great. He goes down for the night around 7-7:30 and wakes up between 5:30-6 everyday. He takes 2 naps most days but sometimes there is a third one. He is finally sleeping in his bed at night. This was all my fault! I couldn't let go of having him right by me and hubby finally made me put him in his bed! He, of course, did perfectly fine and didn't seem to even notice but I still wake up 20 times during the night and stare at the monitor.

Eating: He is such a great eater! He has now tried green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, butternut squash,   bananas, apples, and pears. He eats oatmeal for breakfast and puree for lunch and dinner! He has about 4 bottles a day depending on how he feels. He always has a 6am bottle and 6:30 pm bottle but the mid-morning and afternoon bottles kind of just depend on his mood and if he wants them.

Firsts: lots of new foods, sleeping in his bed at night, getting up on all fours 

Liking: mama and daddy, tv, iPad, Sophie the teething giraffe, jumperoo, high chair, bed, Aden and Anais blankets, bath time, dogs, high chair toys, walker

Disliking: peas, when mom has to get boogies out of his nose, being alone, sleeping on his back

aren't baby sneezes the cutest?! 

Coop had the best valentine ever this year!
