7 months have passed since Charlie came into our lives. They have gone so fast! He is changing these days at lightening speed! In the last 3 weeks he has perfected crawling, and seems to be practicing for some baby Olympic speed crawling trials, he has pulled up to a stand, and is now determined to be in no other position if he can help it. Two nights ago he was crying like crazy in his room after I put him to bed, so I rushed in and he was standing at the end of his crib, holding on for dear life, because, as much as he has mastered standing, he hasn't figured out how to get back down. Poor guy. He is eating the same repertoire he had last month, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, pears, and apples. He has reacted to carrots, so I am holding off on adding anymore until we see the GI specialist tomorrow. We are still struggling to get him to eat more during the day so he doesn't need to eat during the night. He is still a terrible sleeper, waking at least twice every night. Jason and I are still suffering from sleep deprivation, and honestly we aren't sure what to do at this point. I know it has to change soon though, because he is slowly driving us insane. Aside from that small issue, we are so happy we have him. He is so cute, still loves to cuddle, and now follows us around the house like a puppy. He loves to go outside, loves the swings, and adores going down the slide. I am looking forward to having another first Christmas, and seeing him tear all the paper (and eat some), and we are heading up to Boston this week for another conference, so he will get to see all the fun stuff it has to offer. I am dreading the long drive up there, but it will be worth it! Happy 7 months Charlie!

What a bummer about the sleeping! Of course Reid is just as horrid a sleeper and I can't say that I am loving it. I have alternate reasons to tolerate it though... It can't last forever. At least that is what I am telling myself. Happy 7 months Charlie. He is such a cutie pie!
I can't figure out how to fix it, and it is really killing me. I have tried letting him cry, but he just gets more and more hysterical and will cry for more than 30 mins, which is too long in my book, at least at this age. It amazes me how 2 kids can be so different!
