Noah: 5 and 6 months old update!

So I slacked off a little bit these last few months so I'm going to combine a couple posts together...woops!
Noah has been such a joy and is getting so big! It has been a rough month of us all being sick. Having sick kiddos is no fun, especially when they are both sick, as well as yourself all at the same time. But, Noah is still the cutest and sweetest little boy ever!

He now:
  • Can pretty much sit up by himself....he tends to tip to the side very frequently but he doesn't really fall backwards or get stuck bent in half anymore. :)
  • Is wanting to move around so badly. Whenever he is on his tummy he will just kick and kick and kick and try to move forward. He hasn't really figured out the whole getting on your hands and knees bit yet. I'm excited for him to start moving though. I think he will be a lot more content.
  • He is sleeping so much better now. He will go down on his own around 7:30 and sleep until 5:30, wake up and eat and then goes back to sleep until about 8! His naps are getting so much better too. They use to only last about 30-45 minutes. Now he will sleep 1 1/2 and sometimes even longer. I love it!
  • He is still the happiest, most smiley and giggly boy. And he is a dare-devil. He absolutely loves it when I throw him in the air, hold him upside down and pretend to drop him (this is really is favorite...he doesn't stop laughing), and loves being spun around.
  • He loves playing with toys. Of course, the toys he always loves best are the ones Aben happens to be playing with at the time :)
  • He is a very talkative boy! If he isn't cooing, he is blowing raspberries.
  • Is a definite momma's boy! And I love it! He knows my voice and face and always gives the biggest smiles when he sees me. He loves his daddy too- but he is a momma's boy for sure :). 
  • Still no teeth...which I am grateful for. He is working on getting his bottom two teeth, which may have played a roll in why he keeps getting sick. 
  • He is only 16 pounds but is 27 inches long. He lost some weight when he got the stomach flu, but his appetite is back with a vengeance!
  • He is really loving solids. So far he has loved everything I have given him and I'm so glad he isn't a picky eater.
