(8m 6d)
I can't believe how fast he is growing! His great grandmother is up from Florida and he has been seeing her a lot. She loves him, and says, "Give me my pumpkin!" every time she sees him.
Noah is saying "Dadda" now, started about 2 weeks ago.
He might be teething now finally. He is waking up at night and not taking much of a bottle during the day. He only nurses well in the morning.
We offered him a sippy cup on his 8 month bday. He mostly just plays with it, banging it around.
We are sad to be closing the pool already, especially since noah loved it so much. maybe I'll take him to the ymca this winter to swim.
No real signs of crawling yet. He'll lay on his belly and put his butt up in the air or get on his knees for a few seconds.
He had his consultation today at the pediatric urologists for his circ. It will be done later this year.

seven months
Noah has grown so much over the past two months. He is rolling all over the place and doing pretty well sitting up now. He definitely prefers to stand and locks his knees when you go to place him in a sitting position!
His hair is getting so long on top, sticks up like duck fur! I can't believe how blond he is!
He started saying mama! I think it was around July 24th for sure, but a few days prior we thought we heard some mama's...now we are working on dada!
He loves to touch my face when nursing and stick his fingers in my mouth, which I find to be darling!
He is still going to gymboree once a week, and really having a ball! In September, he starts a music class in Southington. That should be a lot of fun!
For the longest time, we have been placing our finger in front of his lips and wiggle it up and down and he makes a funny sound (hard to describe.) But the funny thing is that he now does it himself! With his left hand, wondering if he will be a lefty?
He is eating two meals a day, still breastfeeding and taking a few 6-8 oz bottles of half br milk and formula. He sleeps well through the night, all though Joe says he wakes up a few times the nights I am at work.
He loves his exersaucer and jumper that we hang from the door jam. He certainly knows how to have a good time!
Life has just been so amazing with him, we are so blessed!

Father's day!
(5m 2w)
Today is Father's day! Noah went in the pool for the first time and he loved it! I knew he would, he loves his baths so much. He did so well in his baby float. Emma went in the pool for her first time, too. She did not enjoy it as much, but she still had some fun.
Noah joined the local gymboree class one day a week for activities such as group playing and singing with other moms and kids. I met a bunch of other moms, too. It is so nice to be with other moms and their babies watching the kids play together! Next week we are going to Boston, we'll see how Noah does with traveling and sleeping in a foreign place.
Noah is rolling very well from his back to his belly, but no desire to roll the other way. He is sitting up--tripoding as they call it, balancing with his hands on the floor, between his legs. He is eating cereal and fruit every day and doing quite well! We will be starting vegetables soon.
(5m 3w)
He is changing so much and doing so many new things! Yesterday, Joe discovered if you hold Noah by his hands, he will pull himself up to a standing position! Last night, he decided to sleep on his belly for the first time. And today, he showed me how he can take his pacifier out of his mouth and put it back in; such great fine motor control he has over his hands! This morning he was on his belly and pushed himself up on his arms, with straight locking elbows! And each day, he gets better at sitting up by himself! So many firsts are happening!

rolling over!
5m 4d)
Noah rolled over for the first time today! He has been working on it for a few weeks, and today, he was on his back and he rolled over to his belly! He did it 4 more times, and it was so great to see!
We have been working on him sitting up on his own and last night he did it! He ended up slumping forward all the way and started playing with his toes, but before that, he balanced well and stayed there for a few minutes!
Another neat thing that Noah is doing... he turns on his fisher-price aquarium in his crib. He wakes up in the morning and finds the button (a big blue clam shell) and turns it on and off, on and off, it is funny to hear! That is how he wakes us up, we hear Brahms lullaby playing and then noah starts spinning a rolling toy in the aquarium. He is so funny, just keeping himself entertained while we wake up!
He has been having cereal every day now since the 2nd, and enjoying it! Pretty soon we will move on to pureed fresh fruits and veggies. Joe and I want to try making his foods for him, I hope he enjoys those!

Happy baby!
Noah is 5 months old today! We celebrated by giving Noah his first taste of rice cereal today, out of a little bowl and a cute little baby spoon. He loved it and kept opening his mouth for more. He is so happy and talkative today. He went with me to my nail appointment and he was flirting with all of the ladies. Then we went grocery shopping and he was smiling at everyone. We came home and he was talking and cooing and laughing... I could not have asked for a happier baby!

My toes!
(4m 27d)
It took Noah almost 2 weeks to get over that cold! He was also wheezing, and was on albuterol treatments. This concerns me, as he also has eczema. I hope this does not turn into an asthma/allergies/eczema thing for life!
I had a wonderful first mothers day! It was so amazing to remember back that a year before, it was that day that Noah was conceived! and then on my 31st bday, it was great to remember that was the day we found out that I was pregnant!
He is so funny now, he is discovering other parts of his body! He was patting his knees and so I showed him that he had toes and feet and oh, the look on his face was priceless! Wide eyes and a big open mouth, as if to say, "Those are mine??!!" It is so funny to watch him playing with his toes, I just wait for the day that he tries to put them into his mouth! He loves when I kiss his feet, and when I am doing it, he raises his foot to my mouth, he is just so funny!
He is going through some kind of irritable/cranky/don't want to sleep-stage. Not sure if he is teething, but he does love to chew on everything, including his hands and is drooling so much!
We are opening the pool up next weekend, I can't wait to get him in there!

First cold
(4m 10d)
Noah has his first cold. Joe called me at work at 230am the other night, Noah was screaming in the back ground. I felt so absolutely horrible that I had to be at work and not home to comfort my sick baby. Yesterday morning, he was nasally congested and irritable, and then in the afternoon, was sneezing and had a clear runny nose. He only felt good when sitting up right or when nursing. Unfortunately, I had to sleep for work, as I was already awake for over 24 hrs. I gave him some pediacare and tylenol, hoping he slept through the night for Joe. Poor little guy, I bet it was that toddler that ran up to him at the nutritionists office and was touching him. I guess this will start getting his immune system prepared!
