6 months in

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Noah, happy birthday to you!

He’s 6 months old today! What a cute little guy. Here’s the update for you so far. He’s REALLY active. Noah went to the doctor for his 6 month checkup this morning and he’s doing great and growing like a weed. The doc said he can start eating more rice cereal now and start eating baby food. So, we begin the endeavor of tasting all kinds of new foods. Nate and I are equally anxious to see how Noah likes pureed peas (I’ll certainly understand if he doesn’t like them)

Noah has no signs of any teeth coming in yet. He certainly likes to gum everything, especially daddy’s nose.

Noah loves to roll and roll and roll and be in constant motion. We had a three hour mass service for Easter vigil and let me tell you, it was a fight to keep him still for that long. Noah can sit up by himself now and pull himself into the sitting position. He also tries to crawl but takes a nose dive when he takes one hand out from under himself to suck his thumb. He’s a big thumb sucker these days. This crawling thing is going to take a while until he learns that he can’t suck his thumb and crawl at the same time!

Lately his favorite things to do are blow raspberries, “talk,” and do this funny thing where he wrinkles his nose and breathes really fast like he’s impatient to get something. He also likes to ring his wind chimes that hang from the ceiling fan in his room. I’ll tell Noah that we’re going to play with the chimes and he immediately looks up and reaches for them. Baths are especially fun and Noah enjoys splashing in the big tub and playing with his rubber ducky.

Here are Noah’s results from his doc appointment this morning. Thanks for visiting!
