22.5 weeks :) 5 Months !!

Dear Noel,
You are becoming such a big boy already !! I can not believe how far you've come in just 5 months ! You have such a strong personality and you KNOW what you want! You can sit up on your own for several minutes at a time all on your own now!
You started doing that last Sunday on the 18th of May! You had just turned 5 months old! At first you could only hold yourself for 30seconds to a minute. But the next day you held it about a minute to a minute and a half. Then on the third day you really started getting the hang of it!! And now you sit up like a pro!
Today I noticed that your first tooth is popping through!! So crazy ! I am super super excited about it lol and I don't really know why. But it's exciting for me to watch all these little milestones.

As I have previously mentioned you have such a strong personality, you literally throw fits already when you don't get your own way. I think I may just have my hands full with you. :p Today you wanted my cell phone at the grocery store and I wouldn't let you have it, so you started screaming and crying about it. I picked you up and hugged you until you calmed down and then you seemed to have forgotten why you were so upset to begin with. You rode in the cart for your very first time today! You loved it!

Oh, you've also recently taken your first ride on a swing!! You like it lol, you're not overly amused with it but you seem to enjoy it. Although you don't seem to like the stomach drop feeling which is what I assume you make that silly face at when the swing is coming forward lol!
Hm, what else? ... Clapping. LOL, You really like clapping. You think it's hysterical when anyone claps in front of you. I think you like the noise it makes. You just laugh and laugh and laugh. :p It's adorable!
We went on your sissy's first field trip with her! You were a bit fussy since you were stuck wrapped up in the mai tai with me most of the time but you were still really good. You didn't even cry. :) We went to this outside nature walk place. It was interesting I guess lol.

Right after daddy proposed to me <3 

OH ! One more thing. Your daddy proposed to me! On the 15th of this month! It was so sweet. We were down at Lee's pond and I was wearing you. We sat down looking for fishes but there were none - then out of nowhere there were tons! We joked that you were the fish whisperer! The fish stayed for a while and I wondered aloud why they were still around us. Your daddy said, "I think I know what they're waiting for!" And he got down on his knee and proposed! I said yes of course! Then he gave me a kiss and right after you mimicked! And made a kissy face and sound with your little lips LOL, too cute!

LOL nursing mommy problems.
Pasta on your head. :p
I've got to eat too! :D

It' 5 months and we're still nursing strong! Only breastmilk for you ! <3 I think its incredible that not only did I grow you inside of my body but I am continuing to give you health and life outside of my body while still using my body! My body alone provides you with nourishment, life, and growth. And that is just so crazy and amazing!

And to end this, here are a couple photos of you and your sissy and daddy <3

Adorable ! <3 I'm so in love with our family.

20 weeks.

Dear Noel,
You've reached 20 weeks old. You've become such a big boy !
We recently got you a jumparoo seat thingy lol, you love it ! You love to jump up and down in it. You smile and laugh and laugh as you jump up and down and make the music
play. It's just about the cutest thing. You have the biggest smile with the most adorable plush cheeks lol. I'm so in love with you. Before I had you I thought, "What will I do with a boy!" But now that you're here, I can't imagine anything else.
I recently taught you how to Rawr! It's freaking cute !!! You have been pushing your bum into the air like you're trying to get your legs into a crawling position already. I know I'm biased but I want to say you're advanced lol! You try to talk and you try to do "big boy" things already. Oh, and everything you can get into your hands you believe it belongs in your mouth and it will probably ta
ste good LOL.
You are such a big boy ! You had your 4 month appt this week and you weighed 14 lbs 10 oz, which isn't much from last appt since you've become more active now, but you're in 6/9 month clothing most of the time !
You have become amazingly good at reaching for and most of the time grabbing whatever you want lol. Cell phones specifically haha. And you still suck your little thumb sometimes.
You are also on an amazing schedule. You awaken at around 10am after nursing in your sleep, nurse then nap around 12/1pm, then nurse and nap around 5/6pm, then nurse and nap around 8pm, then you nurse and go down for the night around midnight. I love this schedule. You even put yourself on it!
