6 Months Old

At six months old Noah is sitting on his own much better. He sits straighter & longer before he starts to tip, it won't be long now until he masters the sitting skill. When on his tummy he can use his arms to get turned around but hasn't yet figured out to use his legs to crawl. That is perfectly fine with us, we are in no rush to have him fully mobile! He is starting to get frustrated when something is out of reach though, so I think he will start to 'army crawl' as soon as he can.

This past month Noah has started wearing some of Owen's old pajamas. I can't believe he is that big already. Some of the pajamas are a little big in the waist, but fit perfectly in length. Once the season changes Noah will be wearing all of the clothes that Owen once wore, I am looking forward to seeing some of those sweet clothes in the closet again!

Noah eats five 6oz bottles throughout the day, including one feeding in the middle of the night. He has started solids this past month, and so far has tried rice cereal, banana, avocado, yams, pears and green beans. The favourite has been the pears, followed by banana which he can feed himself using his nuby nibbler. I usually try to feed him cereal and a fruit for breakfast & cereal and a veggie for dinner.

He has become Mr. Chatty lately and he will babble sounds like "dadadada" "babababa" etc. sometimes he goes on like that for quite a while. He is just now realizing that his voice can get louder. He has started to screech & shriek super loud, often I think it's Owen when it turns out to be Noah making all the noise. He laughs a lot now, Owen can even get him to laugh. I just love to watch Noah laugh at Owen, he thinks his brother is so funny. Owen plays peek- a-boo & "this little piggy" with him & Noah's face lights up with delight while Owen is playing with him. Owen has shown much more affection towards Noah lately, wanting to hold him & sit with him, he is also wanting to hug & kiss him more. It is nice to see that they are becoming close. I imagine they will be good friends growing up together.


Lots of drool, but no teeth yet!
