Noah is 6 Months



Half a year already! Two weeks before turning 6 months old, Noah cut his first tooth on the bottom left and his second tooth (on the bottom right) a week later! Understandably he had been a little grouchy, which is definitely abnormal for our happy and smiley baby boy. He is such a content baby, and we are thankful that he is so easygoing! With the addition of teeth, we decided it was finally time to start some solid food. So far he has only been munching on rice rusks, teething biscuits, brown rice cereal, bananas, and applesauce. He definitely seems to enjoy feeding himself versus the mushy texture of spoon-fed food. Time will tell what his favorite is, but we are taking solid foods slowly. Noah loves his big brothers and enjoys watching them (becoming more and more distracted during nursing time.) He especially loves Christian, since C interacts with him a bit more right now. Noah loves toys, reaching, grasping, and touching anything near him. He is starting to get around on the floor a bit more, lifting up on his arms and building strength for future crawling (yikes- not sure if I am quite ready for him to be mobile.) He also gives the best little hugs! Noah continues to be a good little sleeper, taking two naps, and generally sleeping through the night. He is wearing a few remaining 3-6 month, but mostly 6 month clothes. At Noah's well-baby check up this past Monday he weighed 15 lbs 4 oz putting him in the 10th percentile, and was 26.5 inches long putting him in the 52nd percentile for baby boys his age. Just a growing boy!
