I can't believe Noah will be 6 months old in 2 weeks! He's getting so big! Noah has been eating purees for about a month and a half now (for lunch and dinner in addition to nursing). He has successfully eaten green beans, sweet potatoes (his favorite!), pears, bananas and peas without any problems (although he HATES peas--we're still working on that one). He loves eating and has recently started trying to "feed" himself, although most of the time he ends up smacking himself in the face with the spoon :P He loves being read to and would "stand" all day if someone would just hold him there :) He rolls both ways and despite my best efforts, has recently decided that he prefers sleeping on his tummy (he always rolls himself onto his belly during the night). Noah's been sleeping through the night for a little over a month now and I can't tell you how wonderful it is! It's amazing how much happier everyone is after a good night's sleep!
His new favorite thing in the world is Daisy (and I think the feeling is mutual!). He watches her all day long and laughs when she does things like wag her tail or wiggle around on her back. Most of you know that Daisy is a licker, well it seems this has gotten even worse since Noah came around. She just can't resist his little feet...and hands...and face. It's a constant battle (one that I usually lose) to try and keep her from licking him. He loves to reach out and "pet" her and grab her ears when she licks him and of course he thinks it's hilarious. They're best buds. I just know they are going to have so much fun together once he becomes mobile. Speaking of mobile, Noah tries VERY hard to scoot on his belly. He sticks his little tush up in the air and tries to push with his legs but nothing happens. I have a feeling he'll be crawling before we know it!
We went on vacation a couple of weeks ago to visit my grandparents in PA and to the beach in Ocean City, NJ. We all had so much fun! I was very nervous about taking Noah on a 12+ hour road trip, but he surprised us all by sleeping most of the time that we were in the car both ways (we traveled at night). In fact, he was really great during the entire trip; I couldn't have asked for a better baby! It was great visiting with everyone and we were sad to leave.
We are currently on the lookout for a tooth. Noah has been a drool monster for a few months now (and it just keeps getting worse!) and will just gnaw on anything you give him (including fingers!).
Here are some pictures from our vacation:
