Near 28 weeks, 6 1/2 Months big boy!!

Dear Noel,
Goodness, So much has happened since the last time I've posted and it's only been about 3 weeks!!
You are now almost 6 1/2 months old :D. I have no clue how many weeks that is lol... almost 28 weeks? So you are already half way to a year old!! Can you believe it, because I can't ! <3

You are such a smart little boy. You have learned so much. You have learned how to do high fives (thank you daddy :D). You do kisses! LOL With your mouth wide open but hey, it's adorable!! You just started doing raspberries on someones skin today lol! It's cute. You also make the "aahhhhhh" noise while we pat your mouth to make the sounds vibrate lol, you think it's funny. You also do the same in the car waiting for the bumps so your voice will vibrate HAHA. You are pro at pulling yourself up onto things already too. :D Smarty cake!



When we're in the car you start getting angry and you shout and cry - but whenever I stop at a redlight or a stop sign you suddenly stop crying lol because you think we're getting out. I hate hate hate that you hate the car so much that you cry but we have to get to places so it's necessary.. :( But you're a smart little cookie!


You are in the middle of getting your 3rd and 4th tooth!! Which the 3rd tooth started poking through 4 days ago and the 4th tooth started poking a bit through today. :) It's so cute!!







I took you to the beach for your 2nd but actually first official time the 21st :) not the Saturday that just passed but the one before that one. :p You loved it. You were crawling around in the sand on your belly, putting sand on your head lol!, and you loved splashing in the water. It was so great. :D So much fun! 

6 months strong!

You've also tried a bunch of new foods recently. :) Although, you're still mostly breastfed - that's where all your nutrients come from. Can you believe we've been nursing for 6 months!? I'm so proud of us. You get so much out of mommy's milk. So many good nutrients and antibodies to protect you from getting sick. It's so wonderful and I love our nursing journey. You've become so silly while nursing. Recently you'll latch on, drink a bit, then get a large mouthful and pull off smiling as you let it drip all out of your mouth LOL, messy boy! It's too funny! 

Your sister is amazing with you. She loves to play with you and entertain you. :) I love watching you two grow and play together. Your sister loves singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with me whenever you're really fussy. You LOVE when we sing to you. You really seem to love the sound of mine and your sissys voice. :) It's so precious. <3 

Oh and this past weekend we went to your Uncle Brian's graduation party and GG held you and rocked you to sleep, it was so sweet. You also got to experience the pool for the first time but you were not a fan LOL. 

<3  You are one of the sweetest things to have ever happened to me and here you are blossoming right before my eyes! I can't believe I have you and I feel so entirely grateful that you are here with me and chose me to be your mommy on this Earth. Everyday I do my very best and I hope that I never let you down. 

24 weeks old. 5 1/2 months !

Dear Noel,
You are now 24 weeks old! Which is 5 months 2.5 weeks. The day after I had posted the last post to you about you getting a tooth in, you got another one coming in! They're adorable, of course lol. I've been taking you to the park more often, you seem to enjoy the swing.

You like a lot of strange things LOL. When you're crying and we can't figure out what you need or want we can try a few other things. These things include: Giving you a water bottle - for some reason you stop crying and you just hug it and try to eat it LOL, Startle you by making a silly noise or saying "Boo!" lol, Sing twinkle twinkle little star - you LOVE when I sing to you, and clapping hahaha - you love when people clap their hands in                                                                 front of you; you seem fascinated by it.

This is a great action shot of you.
You crawled up my legs and actually stood to get to my pizza
LOL

This is how I have to hold you back from crawling off the bed.
LOL. You're definitely not frightful.

You are officially on the move. You now do this sort of crawl/lunge. You get up on your hands and knees on the bed, then you plant your face into the bed as you dig your toes and feet into the bed, sticking your bum in the air, then you kick off - lunging you forward. HAHA. It is the cutest. But now we have to be very careful and pay attention to you at all times, every second. Because you are QUICK!

You have started to crawl off the bed, which is really frightening for all of us.

The other night you somehow got out from between your dad and I in the middle of the night as we were sleeping and you crawled down to the end of the bed in attempt to play with your jumpy exersaucer toy LOL. I woke up just in time to grab you and nurse you back to sleep. Silly boy!


I recently got given a crib by Auntie Cindy and Uncle Mike. I put you in it for the first time two nights ago. At first I put you into a deep sleep before putting you in the crib around 11:30pm then I woke up around 3am though and I couldn't hear or feel you breathing and I panicked. You got startled awake and started crying and I felt it was a great reason for you to come back to bed with daddy and I. Yesterday I attempted to put you in this crib and you wouldn't sit lol, so you held onto the railings and you stood! You just stood all by yourself holding onto the railings of the crib. What a big boy!


Oh my goodness, I HAVE to mention how much you LOVE the bathtub. As a littler baby you loved the shower and the water and you would go right to sleep. But now you get SO excited in the bathtub! You splash the water and you bounce your body and laugh. You are too freaking cute lol. The excitement is overflowing. When you laugh and feel joy it certainly spreads to everyone that you're around. It's amazing how pure and joyful you are. I mean, you are just a baby but still. :p


You are hitting milestones SO fast. Just a week and a half ago you learned to sit! You now have that mastered. You are probably going to be walking within the next couple months or so lol.

I also feel like you understand the word, "No." I say that because when I say it to you when you're doing something I'd like you to stop - you stop. lol. You stop and you don't try it again, most of the time. :p

You also make the silliest faces lol. They're just adorable. I can't help but laugh. :p







You've had your first beach trip last Monday which was Memorial day. We also visited Papa Doug's parents at the cemetery. I didn't put you on the sand but I did sit you up on a log and take pictures with you and your sister and some of just you. :)


You've also had your first Carousel ride ! You seemed to like it lol. :)







This past week we also have started handing you some table foods. We've tried some potatoes, pancake, Nilla wafer cookies, and toast.You just licked the potatoes and pancake lol but you went to town on the cookie and toast. You actually ate a whole Nilla cookie and a whole half piece of toast! That's crazy!
