7 months

OK so I think I say the same thing every month but Noah is 7 months....where did the time go. He is growing so fast. I love to see him discovering the new world around him and how the little things make him so happy. He is such a sweet baby. We have been so blessed to have such a good sleeper and he is pretty much happy all the time. That is unless he is teething. He is getting his 2 top teeth right now and he has had a hard time with them cutting through. He is starting to eat some meat and is able to grab things with his hand and attempt to eat everything. He sits up with out help and we recently had to lower his crib after I found him sitting up by himself in his crib laughing and banging on the mattress. You could tell he was really proud of himself for doing it all alone. Every month he is getting so much more fun and we are noticing his personality more and more. I love him so much and can't wait to see who God has created him to be....

Baby Food

I wanted to write a short blog about baby food. I decided to start making Noah's food after I spent about 150 dollars on organic baby food. I realized that even the organic stuff has preservatives in it and so I began my search to learn how to make it and how to give my child the best. My sister came down to visit a couple of weeks ago and helped me make my first batch and I have loved it ever since. I have found that the organic apple sauce you can get in the regular aisle at the grocery store has no preservatives and no added sugar. The frozen veggies and fruit are an easy way to make good food fast. I have also found that if I set one night aside a week I can make enough food for 2 weeks. If you have any questions on how to make baby food just let me know. I usually use this website to get different recipes but he is still in the stage 1

What's New

6 months old!!

I can't believe that Noah is 6 months old already. Time has gone by so fast and it really seems like only yesterday we were looking at a pregnancy test that said positive and 23 later it was official.

Noah has is such a good baby and for the most part has been easy. He sleeps through the night and wakes up in the morning with a huge smile. It makes 6am a lot brighter seeing his sweet face smiling up at you.

So whats new this month:

He is eating solids 3 times a day, peas, carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes ect....

He is allergic to Avocado - he instantly broke out in a rash on his face with the first bite.

He is sitting up really well by himself but still falls over after a few minutes

He has different smiles for things that make him happy

He is starting to try and crawl but is more interested in just rolling to where he wants to go

He loves time with his dad when he gets home, once he is home he wants nothing to do with me.

Andrew surprised me with an awesome Bob stroller for my birthday. I am so excited to run with Noah. I am up to 4 miles and can't wait until March for the big Half Marathon !!!!!!!
