ONE

ANGRY!!!!!!

That is how Noah must feel when I trap him in the exersaucer so I can get things done. If he would just stay still then I would not be forced to out him in there, why do they get so big so quick? Why did I never by that gate to go across the playroom into the living room?

Mission

Noah started to really crawl this week and there is no stopping him. It is so much fun to watch him eye something and then get to it with such determination. The mission tonight was Samuel's cup which was located under the exersaucer. Well, mission accomplished he made it there and got!

Just because I have been a blogging slacker and because he is simply too cute here are some pictures of the last month. In the last month a few big things have happened for Noah, he turned six months and was 19 pounds at his check up, he started food and is in love with eating, he is sitting all by himself, rolling all around, and crawling backwards. He also now was the fabulous skill of sleeping all night long thanks to the dedication of the entire household in listening to him scream for a few nights before he figured out how to go to sleep on his own. I am madly in love with this baby of mine. I smile at him all day and he smiles back. He loves to laugh which the boys think is just too funny for words & he loves to watch them do anything. I can tell there is a small glimmer of trouble in his eye and a year from now he is going to be causing craziness in the house just like his older brothers but in before that happens I am just going to squeeze him and kiss him all over!

YUMMM

Finally, after great debate and waiting I gave Noah his first bowl of yummy rice cereal. First I was putting it off because he wasn't ready, then I was putting it off because he has a cough, then I was putting it off because I could, but truth be told I think or rather I know I was putting it off because this is my last "first" meal. Well come to find out Cookie actually took this away from me and in an effort to get Noah to sleep through the night he took it upon himself to give him his "first" meal or rice cereal on Friday night while I was at school. Yup, read that line again I missed my last baby's "first" meal, the person who has been alive because of me since conception just like that got rice cereal from him daddy. Needless, to say it was not well received by me and I am pretending it did not happen especially since there are no pictures to prove it. So, today Noah got his second "first" bowl of cereal. He kind of liked it but was not longing to finish the bowl.

Number 3, I think what they say about the third is right you don't have as much time to write down all their stats, happenings, and every little thing or major thing because you are just too busy with life. Not that I am too busy for him but there does not seem to be a spare moment when I can find time to sit because someone needs something all the time. So, although it months and days late here is my 4 & 5 month post about my brownie Noah.

Back in August at his 4 month check up he weighed 15.7 pounds and 26 1/4 inches long which actually put him the smallest of the boys. This makes me smile and laugh because everyone always comments on how big he is quickly after they have complimented his mop of curls on top of his head. At his 4 month check up he actually rolled over for the first time which I was super excited about and now he has not stopped rolling! What he has stopped doing is sleeping. He was such an amazing sleeper but the last month has been awful simply awful and he is up every 2 to 3 hours if I am lucky and looking for a snack or a cuddle from his very very tired mommy. I really think it is time for him to get his own room and for Cookie and I to have our own room back and then maybe everyone will sleep better, if only we had time to work on the spare room.

Noah is just about sitting up on his own and is starting to creep around on the floor I think Cookie for both of these new skills because I never put him on the floor during the day it is simply not a safe place with two big brother. I am sure Noah will be crawling in no time and then my day will be even more fun! Noah loves sitting and playing in his exersaucer and loves to watch Elijah and Samuel do ANYTHING! A few other things he loves, being outside, his pacifier, and Pugsley. Noah, could watch Pugsley all day long he just smiles when he sees him.

We were just about to start solids but then Noah got a cold and has an horrible cough so we have been waiting for that to pass and once it does on the expanding his diet as Cookie says. Overall even with not sleeping well which is a very cruel joke from a baby who started sleeping all night at five weeks he is always super happy and he makes my world go round!

Brown???

Who's brown eyed, brown hair, brown skinned baby is this? MINE all MINE and he is as perfect as he is cute! But really how did I finally end up with a mocha baby?

Clean baby!

I love the smell of a clean baby, I mean honestly who doesn't. So after being home for almost three weeks I finally broke down and gave Noah his first bath. I have never given a baby their first bath, my mom has had the honor of giving both Elijah and Samuel their first bath. But I knew that Noah could not wait till June for his first bath so into the sink he went tonight & he LOVED it he was so happy & never made a whimper!!!! Success was had by all and now at least tonight while I endless nurse him all night long he will smell so clean!

Brother Love

Saying that Samuel loves his baby brother Noah is an understatement. He is in crazy love for him & often reminds me of Lenny from the novel Mice & Men. Samuel wants to help constantly with Noah, bust out into song when he cries, offers to hold him nonstop, and loves to comb his hair. I am trilled that the love is there but I could handle it being brought down just a little, I hope over time that the fascination with Noah fades slightly. In the meantime here are a few photos of Noah and Sammy.
