8 Months

So Noah turned eight months old yesterday. Wow, that was fast! We took lots of pictures but he's such a fast mover these days that a lot of them are blurry...boo.

He also clapped for the first time yesterday. Last week, he started waving and he can sign the word, "more" at dinner time.

He weighs 20.1 lbs and is approximately 27.5" tall. It's hard for me to measure a squirmy baby by myself but I'm pretty sure I at least got close. He can still wear some 9 month stuff but I'm only buying 12 month at the moment. If it's a footed sleeper, it has to be 12 months to fit. His brown hair is also ALL gone. It grows in more blonde all the time, and grows in fast. He has had 3 haircuts already. :)

He loves to eat, but prefers smoother, less chunky foods. He used to gag on baby food if it wasn't puréed super smooth. However on Saturday night, he enjoyed eating steamed rice at the Chinese restaurant and even tried a couple little pieces of my homemade pumpkin muffins.

Right now we take the girls to school and come home for breakfast, coffee, and playtime. It's fun, I must say.

He likes to growl like a dinosaur, grunt, yell loudly, and crawl everywhere. His nickname from Lilly was "no-no" but it has made it hard to tell him no to playing with things he shouldn't, so we are working on not calling him no-no and telling him no with other phrases.

He is extremely ticklish and giggly, and still surprises me with how snuggly he is. He loves to hang out with his daddy and follows his sisters around all over the place.

He loves stuffed animals, any noisy toys, and would love to get an iPhone or MacBook for Christmas. Keeping him away from electronic stuff is really hard. It took two tries before he figured out how to turn on Daddy's XBOX.

He's just by far, the best little guy a momma could ask for and we are so thankful for him! We love you Noah!!
