Happy 7 months Noah!

I know I say this every month, but time is just flying by! I LOVE the stage Noah is at now. He reaches for me, loves climbing on me, gives me kisses, I’m just his favorite person (well besides Daddy)!

Here are Noah’s 7 month stats:

• Still wearing size 3 diapers
• Wearing size 9 month clothes
• I forgot to weigh him today, but I’m guessing around 21-22 pounds

• He can get anywhere he wants! Within the last few weeks, he has mastered the army crawl. Now he can get on all fours and rock back and forth like he is just about to take off!
• His new thing is sitting in front of a laundry basket full of toys and playing for the longest time. His favorite toy is by far our black tv remote control.

• He now has FOUR teeth with more on the way! He has two on the bottom (see the picture above!) and his top two eye (or vampire) teeth!
• Just this week we moved from the baby tub to the big boy tub! The first time we tried it, Noah lunged for a toy across the tub and KERPLUNK! under the water. I almost had a heart attack. But he still loves the water!

• He still looks just like his stinkin Daddy.
• Sleeping through the night, for the most part. The past two weeks have been a little rough with the croup and teething going on.
• Eating 1 jar of baby food for breakfast, 2 jars for lunch and 2 jars for dinner with a bottle in between each meal

• Usually goes to bed around 6:30-7:00pm and wakes at 6:00-6:30am
• LOVES school and takes a 4 hour nap every day
• NEVER naps more than an hour for Mommy and Daddy on the weekends…

• Talking more and more. The only ‘word’ he will say is ‘good’ but I’m still not counting it as his first word because I can’t get him to say it. He just says it when he wants.
• Still loves blowing raspberries but he now knows that he isn’t allowed to blow them with food in his mouth

• Has daily practice with a sippy cup and does pretty good with it. So far we’ve only put water in it. He can get it into his mouth but he hasn’t quite figured out how to make anything come out.
• LOVES Cherrios and Yogurt Melts…hates puffs. He has successfully put two Cheerios in his mouth all by himself!

• Pulled up to his knees while playing with a toy!
• Can sit up by himself perfectly!
• Still fighting eczema but it’s pretty controlled at this point

He is the light of our lives. I know that’s very cliché but it’s true. He is our world! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE being his Mommy and I wouldn’t trade one single sleepless night for anything! He teaches us so much every day. Sometimes I just feel like my heart could explode because I just love him so much!

Mommy and Daddy love you Noah! Happy 7 month Birthday!!
