8 Months!

Isn't it amazing how you get to a point after having a baby where you think - What was life like before you?  We have well passed that point with Noah and I can't hardly remember what life was like before his cuteness arrived in our home.  Already those first few weeks of 'Newborn' baby seem like a blurr.  Time marches on and I am really trying to embrace and savor every minute I have with not only my Noah, but all the kids. 

Now that Mr. Noah is 8 months the world is becoming more and more fascinating for him.  Here is my list of the things that he has been up too.

• We'll start with just being cute
• he sleeps great, although I am really trying to push the wake up time back - he wakes a little to early for my taste, especially with summer coming
• he is on a pretty good schedule and still takes 2 naps - sometimes 3 if life is just to exhausting
• he  learned to SIT this month.  He actually mastered it in just a couple of days, which was much faster than his brothers and sister did.  I attribute it to his chubby legs weighing him down.  ;)
• he FINALLY learned to roll from his tummy to his back.  It was a glorious day and there was much cheering and clapping to be heard from our house.  He would push himself up onto his toes and hands with his little bum in the air (he is very strong) and finally he figured out he could lean a little and over he would go. 
• he loves to do push ups and is in the 'pushing himself backwards' phase
• he is starting to pull his knees under him and would figure out crawling pretty fast if he would get his forehead off the floor.  Silly boy
• he feeds himself 'Stars' and must be eating if we are
• he tries to grab everything and his eyes are constantly darting around to check out his surroundings (heaven help me when he is mobile)
• he and tater had a wrestling match for Tater's glasses last night
• he still loves the Jolly Jumper and uses his arms to get some height (NO JOKE!) It is way funny
• he is getting a temper and an opinion about things like if the kids can hold him, if his diaper needs changing etc.  When he starts getting mad he crinkles up his nose, squints his eyes and clenches his gums together and breaths in and out.
• he still has no teeth
• he is a continuous fountain of drool

I think that about sums up the last month of Noah's life.  He continues to be a wonderful sweet cute and smiley little boy and although he still doesn't giggle too much we are seeing some break throughs!

And now what you really want, PICTURES........

Notice the drool streaks down his belly....

I also must mention that he has  THE MOST kissable squishy cheeks that I am sure I kiss at least a thousand times a day.
