Anniversary and a 7 month old

We just had our two year anniversary, ok it was a couple weeks ago on the 7th. Crazy how time flies. We went to Anasazi Steak house and LOVED it! Its definitely only a special occasions place though, as it is rather pricey. But the food is totally worth it. gotta say I love fondue :) My mother in law watched Taegen for us so we could go on our date. It was so nice to just be the two of us again (even if it was only for an hour or so). We love our little man, don't get me wrong, but the date was SO nice.

Speaking of our little man, he just had his 7 month birthday. WOW he's getting so big! Here's his monthly update:

-He FINALLY sleeps without being wrapped up!
-He got sick for the first time :( Had a fever of 102.6 and is now sick again with a bad cough and stuffy nose which makes sleeping hard.
-He's almost ready to crawl. He'll get himself up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth but hasn't really made any lunges forward yet. He's tried a couple times, to move one of his arms forward but then just falls (he hasn't quite grasped the concept yet)
-He's waking up A TON in the night (I'm at a loss. Little tangent on this subject below)
-Weighing in at about 18lbs
-LOVES his binky! Sure way to get him to stop fussing. Luckily, most times he doesn't cry for his binky, but will stop crying temporally if we give it to him. I'm hoping this'll mean weaning him from it won't be as difficult. I can dream right :)
-Zeffie is watching him for about 4 hours each day while mommy and daddy go to work. I drop him off at 11 and Jon picks him up around 3.
-He gets so so so excited when I walk in the door from work. Most times he's in his jumperoo and just jumps and kicks and is full of smiles. Its too cute. He loves and misses his momma!
-He has TWO teeth! His bottom two have come it.
-He falls asleep at night really well. We follow our bedtime routine-bath (only some days) eat some baby food, pajamas, then nurse and off to bed he goes.
-Napping on the other hand is another story. Most days, it's miserable getting him down for naps. And he won't take his last nap of the day. I'm trying to move him to 2 naps a day, but can't figure out how to do it and still follow the eat-play-sleep routine from baby wise. (Any suggestions?)

We love our little guy. Life is so much fun with him. I feel so blessed to be his mother. I just wish I could stay at home with him. I HATE leaving him with a sitter every day. It just breaks my heart.
We love you Taeg!

Sleeping tangent:
I let him cry if I know he's not hungry, but it takes him an hour of crying to actually fall back asleep, and only to wake up an hour after that. And by then he is actually hungry. And once he wakes up once to eat, he'll wake up every two hours(if I'm lucky) to eat again. I DON'T GET IT! He goes 3 1/2 hours inbetween eating during the day, why at night does he only go 2 hours? It's infuriating!
