7 Months Old

I know I am a little late with this post, but better late than never. On November 24th, Noah turned seven months old!! We are officially over the 1/2 year old mark. This little boy has been busy lately and has had lots of "1st's" this month. Here is what he has been up to:

• Growing: Noah weighs about 18lbs. This is an estimate weight because he did not have a well baby visit this month. He wears 9month clothing, but will be in 12 months clothing before too long. We had to get a bigger size in diapers this month. He now wears a size 3! As far as teeth go, Noah still has only 2 teeth. However, his top 2 front teeth will be coming soon because his gums are bulging up there.
• Eating: Still eating at Mom's and takes about 6-7oz every 4 hours or so. Noah loves to eat baby food! He has been eating a variety of fruits and veggies and drinking juice. His favorite so far are peaches and apple juice. His least favorite are peas.
• 1st Thanksgiving: Noah celebrated his first Thanksgiving at Grandma Connie and Grandpa Bob's house with Daddy and his 2 big brothers. Mommy had to work, so we don't have any pictures of Noah on Thanksgiving Day (maybe Tia might have some). No turkey for Noah this year. Mommy's milk only!
• Getting around: Noah has mastered the skill of crawling!!! He started out just scooting on his belly, but on December 5th he figured out he could go faster if he crawled. Watch out here he comes!
• Cute Sayings: Noah has begun talking to us using sounds. He says "Dah"! He says it all the time! He makes lots of other noises with his little tongue.
• 1st Owie: Fell down the entire flight of stairs (on mommy's watch) I have learned my lesson: he is faster than you think! Luckily, no cuts, bumps, bruises, or broken bones.
• 1st Illness: Baby Noah had the stomach flu this month just like his brothers and Daddy. Poor baby was throwing up and pooping everything he ate. Thank goodness for the bathtub!
• Favorite things to do: Play with big brothers Nicholas and Joshua and doggy Bella, Listen to Mommy sing Itsy Bitsy Spider and Patty Cake, and Placing everything that fits into his mouth in his mouth (we have to be careful about what is on the floor)

Noah is a very happy little baby boy that continues to make us happy each day!
