Wow, time is flying!! Owen is 7 months old already and he is growing so quickly!! At 6 months Owen grew his first two teeth on the bottom. When Gavin got his first teeth, he basically woke up one morning and I felt a tooth in his mouth. Owen on the other hand worked on his teeth for months. He would cry at night, pull on his ears, not want to eat... it was not fun. The day both his teeth were popped he slept almost through the night. I got excited thinking that finally he was starting to sleep longer at night but I was wrong. He's been waking up probably about 5-6 times a night! I'm exhausted and I don't remember going through this with Gavin at all. I have been working hard at keeping a consistent schedule with Owen and we do a night time routine but it doesn't seem to be getting better. He goes down for the night very well and usually stays asleep till about 12ish. After that, he's up almost every hour until we get up for the day. Any tips are welcomed.
Owen learned to sit on his own at 6 and a half months. He loves sitting by his bucket of baby toys and empty it out one toy at a time. He can play on the floor all day without hearing a peep from him. He's so easy. He's a very happy baby and loves his brother so much. No one can make him giggle and smile like Gavin can. Gavin knows that his brother thinks he's funny and tries to make him laugh and entertains him all day. Just recently Owen has been rolling places to get to where he wants to go. He often smacks his head on the floor going from a sitting position to laying down and then starts rolling. He doesn't seem to mind this way. I don't think it will be long before he's crawling all over the place.
Owen is very stubborn with some things and refuses to take a bottle. I think that is my fault because I wasn't nearly as consistent this time around with Giving him a bottle once a night. I try sippy cups and almost every kid of bottle that there is but he doesn't want to take any of it. Unfortunately, he seems to be wanting to wean himself from breast feeding but I can't really do that if he isn't getting any liquids any where else. Again, tips are welcomed.

Wow it is hard to believe he is 7 months old already! I think the sleeping thing is so different with the second child because even though you try to keep a consistent schedule it is hard because the 2 of them are on such different schedules. If you find something that works let me know because although Cayden is getting better at sleeping he isn't nearly as good as Aubree was and nothing seems to be working.
