Sleep

Well, for the past week Noah has been sleeping for about 7 1/2 hours before waking up to eat. This is an improvement, because he was waking up every four hours to eat after eating 2 jars of food. My sister convinced me that I needed to give him something with more substance. Well, I am now mixing part of a baked potato with his vegetables, and he is also eating a jar of fruit. I think this is helping because last night he went to sleep at 8:45, and I woke him up at 6:15 this morning. I got up to check on him twice during the night because my body told me something wasn't right. His babysitter informed me today that in addition to his oatmeal, fruit, and 3 bottles, he ate some mashed potatoes and yogurt. She said during lunch they had mashed potatoes. She lets him walk (in his walker) in the kitchen while they eat lunch. He was pitching a fit while they were eating so she gave him bite of the potatoes. He would walk and then come back for more. She said later Ruby was eating yogurt. Once again he pitched a fit, so she gave him some. I am telling you we have a little pig on our hands.
We went shopping for him last weekend. We had to buy 12 month clothes. My sister went to the big sale at Old Navy and bought him several shirts and fleece pants. He wore a pair of 12-18 month pants today. I think they run a little small, but still. He should not be wearing clothes that size. Anyway, I wanted to update you on the latest.

Almost 7 months old now

Here are a few photos to show how much Noah has grown.

My first Christmas present. To be honest I'd rather eat the paper and I did.

Check out my new ride

I have two new teeth and several others on the way. This is the closest you will come to seeing them though.

HO HO HO!

So, this is my girl Aubrey. Mom and Dad took me to see her on Sunday. I didn't get to spend much time with her because when we got there she was sleeping. Then when she woke up, we went with her family to take pictures. She went back to sleep on the way home. When she woke up, I was ready to go to sleep for the night. We will make a great pair one day, if her daddy will let us, because we have a lot in common. We like to eat (as you can see), and we like our thumbs, just to name a couple.

Dr. Visit

Well, we went to the doctor on Wednesday. He was still 21 pounds and 28 inches long. He is going to be a tall boy. I can tell that he is beginning to thin out, but he is still a chunk. He is now eating carrots, green beans, peas, squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, and oatmeal. He eats everything, literally. Noah now has two teeth. He is growing up so fast.

First tooth

Last night all three of us were sitting on the couch talking. Well, Noah wasn't talking. He was eating my fingers, as he does everything else, when I felt something hard. I thought to myself, "That is not his gums because it is pretty sharp." Anyway, today I could actually see the tooth, but only when he was laughing. Everytime I try to pull his lip down, he sticks out his tongue. It was kind of exciting, and I told him he could not eat my fingers anymore, nor hand, arm, chin, neck, and so on.
I had to take him to the doctor last Friday because he has been battling congestion for awhile now. On Friday morning, he woke up with an awful cough. She gave him an antibiotic, a steroid, and a medicine we give with the nebulizer. Yes, my little piggy did weigh 21 pounds. We go for his sixth month visit next wednesday, so we will see if he gains any weight in the next week. Also, if we can get a good picture of the tooth, we will post it. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.

I finally did it!!

I know all of you have been waiting in anticipation that I would get over my laziness and finally roll over. Well I did it, not jut once but three times today. I should have done this along time ago but why rush things. Mommy left me laying in the floor thinking I wouldn't move and when she came back, I was on the other side of the living room.
