8 months old already!

Dear Noel,
You are 8 months old today!! Incredible. You are such a happy, giggly, amazing little boy. You are learning things so fast I just can't believe it.

Playing in Sissy's dollhouse
The best I have of you standing on your own

You are now actually standing yourself up. You get on your feet with your bum low to the ground and you power push your legs and you stand straight up ! So insane ! You've been doing this for the past few days or so.

You love riding on your daddy's shoulders and you've even started holding your arms out in his direction to go to him!! :)

Your new teeth have given you
a sweet 6 toothed grin!

On Saturday the 2nd of August we attended the Big Latch On! Event. We were counted in a tally of people whom gather together and nurse all together at the same time for a chance at being part of breaking a world record! I was so proud of us for breastfeeding as long as we have to become a part of it. We then attended the Born to Breastfeed event at the zoo on the following Weds - the 6th. It was fun.We have now made it to 8 months breastfeeding! It has been so rewarding and I love that I can nourish you with my body. 8 SOLID months! That's huge! I am now in the process of pumping and storing 100 oz for you for when I attend school in a few weeks. I have 47.50 oz stored and frozen. I am so proud of myself and I am so proud of you. Together, we work together and we have accomplished this amazing goal together. <3




Last weekend we went to Aunt Cindy's and Uncle Mikes. We stayed for a cook out and there was an antique car show in their area. So we went for a walk and looked at all the really neat cars. It was super fun. You rode on daddy's shoulders like you love to do! At the party there was this little girl - she was 8 and so pretty. She was talking to you and making you smile and everything, so so sweet. And I guess you decided you really liked her and you grabbed her head and you leaned in and kissed her right on her cheek! HAHAHA. A big wet, open mouth, slobbery baby kiss! It was just the sweetest thing I've seen. <3 So adorable.

Cutie Patooties!

We've recently been meeting up with a mommy and her baby. Sort of a play date for you and mommy may have a potential good friend. :) It's been nice getting out and having someone to interact with and I think it's good for you as well to be around a baby around your age. :) The mommy is Sara and she has an adorable little girl named Lucy - Lucy is 10 months old. She's so sweet and cute. :) We met at a babywearing meet up - the Kangamama's group.





Today we met up with them again and we went to the zoo. It was a rather decent sized group lol. You, daddy, me, sissy, uncle Brian, and Sara and Lucy. We all went. It was a lot of fun! They have so much new stuff and new animals at Roger Williams! I was so excited to go again. We even went into the butterfly exhibit. I love the zoo! You probably will too. :D
