Dear Noel,
You are hitting 7 1/2 months tomorrow! Not too much new going on. You are starting to stand on your own for a couple seconds at a time. You are a pro at crawling. I've also bought some baby treats for you. You love them. :) There are fruit crisps, banana cookies, and some other type of cookie too.
(Edit in - 8/2/14- 3 days after original post: You have 2 new teeth coming in! Two more top teeth on either side of your other two top teeth. That makes 4 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth!)
We're still nursing. 7 1/2 months strong! :D I'm so proud of how far we've come. You've started thinking it's funny to stick your fingers in my mouth while I'm nursing you lol. Also, you like to rub your hands on the satin edging on the blanket when you're nursing and trying to fall asleep. You must get that from me. It's so sweet. <3
We still babywear too.
We've actually gone to 2 babywearing meetings which is pretty nice. Hopefully we'll both find friends there for meetings and play dates. :)
And last but not least I'm going to leave a pic of you with daddy and a couple with sissy. :D
Dear Noel,
Today you are 7 months old! I can not believe how fast time has flown by. You never cease to amaze me. You are doing so many new things already.
You went to see fireworks for your first time this year. For the 4th of July. You didn't cry or anything. You looked amazed with them lol.
At parade <3
You also went to your first parade. It's called The Great Gaspee parade.
You have started waving to yourself lol, it's cute! I don't exactly know what you're doing but you stick your hand up with your palm towards you then slowly move your fingers up and down while staring at it haha.
You've also started shaking your head side to side and up and down. Although, you seem to shake side to side more. You mainly only shake up and down when you hear music or someone singing. It's cute!
You are super mobile now! I took a video of you a few days ago. You shocked me! I was so impressed by you! You crawled yourself from Mamee's living room to her kitchen. You then tried to get up on the walker but it moves because it has wheels. You then somehow figured out that if you hold the tag that is on the seat underneath the walker, you can hold it in place. You then did that, pulling the walker into you and holding it in place, while you stood yourself up and crawled up onto the back of the walker! You actually stood and then placed each foot on the back of the walker. Crazy child!!
Potato !
You've been eating more foods recently but we have made 7 months on our breastfeeding journey! I am so proud of us and so happy I could give you such nutritious milk!
The other day at Mamee's house you were so jealous that I was holding a baby. So you crawled up into my lap. I got you both into a position where I could hold you both and you could nurse. You then reached out to take the babys hand. Big "awhhh" moment. <3
You like to grab a cup and yell into it to hear yourself echo haha, so freaking cute. You love to make sounds and listen to the vibrations of your voice.
You also say "dada" a lot lol, no "mama" yet though. But that's okay!
Oh and you've officially have 4 teeth! They are just precious haha.
She put the headband on you :p
You love your sissy. She is really a big help with you. You guys watch cartoons together and she plays blocks and with toys with you. It's just the sweetest. I love it. I love how much you love one another. <3
Oh and I made this recently because I thought it was amazing. Flashback to when you were in my womb and just born.
Dear Noel,
