Noel Robert is 7 months old!

Okay. Really? How can it have been 7 months? And yet....Noel is 7 months old today!

Time flies when you're having fun! My precious baby boy is really growing fast! He weighs 20.2 pounds and is 27 inches long.

He hasn't had any more teeth come through, and because I'm still nursing him, this is both good and merciful! He is eating a few different kinds of food now including sweet potatoes, spinach, prunes, pears, banana's, and cereals. However, the last two items on the list I'm barley feeding to him at all as it caused him some tummy trouble that could only be remedied by massive amounts of prunes and apple juice....if you catch my drift. Yeah. I just talked about my baby's bowels on the internet. I. Am. So. Cool.

He is sitting independently now, but doesn't like to stay in one place for very long, and uses scooting on his belly and a little rolling to get around. When he sees what he wants, he goes for it!

Ben didn't crawl until after he walked, so it is going to be totally new territory for me if this little guy decides to take off!

He is babbling some, which is precious. He laughs and smiles a ton! He really is just the most happy little baby! He flirts with everyone, and it always cracks me up when we are out and someone talks to him and he smiles really big! Such a show off!

People are always feeling like they really accomplished something when they can get a baby to smile at them....I don't have the heart to tell them that Noel will smile at anything that moves, so I let them relish in their accomplishment. Besides, his smile is incredible so that is something!

Noel really enjoys playing with toys. He likes to hit objects together to see what sound they make, and he likes to taste everything :). He also enjoys stuffed animals, which is another difference between him and Ben.

Ben never really took an interest in stuffed animals, but Noel seems intrigued!

TAKE NOTE! We have plenty of stuffed animals around....I'm looking at you grandparents. The Arch is full.

And happy.

We love our little bug like crazy. Can't believe you are 7 months old already Noel! You are so perfect to me!
