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!
