6 months

Noah had his 6 month check-up yesterday. He weighs 17 lbs 2 oz, and he's 28.75 inches long. I have a long, lean baby! He has two teeth, and he's doing really good with solids so far. The doctor gave us the okay to start juice, water, and teether biscuits too! Noah had so much fun with the biscuits. He sat in his highchair and chewed on it while I cleaned up the kitchen.

to date we've had: Rice Cereal, bananas, sweet potatoes, peas, apple juice, original baby mum-mums, biter biscuits, and a nibble on mommy's apple b/c it looked like so much fun.

He changes everyday and is such a joy to be around. He loves to talk and has been saying ma-ma for about a month now! His newest word is ba-ba, and he loves to say mmmm-baa (I'm hoping he's not secretly a Hanson fan). He's still working on sitting up, but he's mastered rolling- which also means he's now a tummy sleeper.

we had our first Halloween! He did not enjoy feeling the pumpkin innards. He also didn't like his costume very much. I didn't even get a real picture in it :-( He stayed up and handed out candy with us, and he was so interested. We had a werewolf stop by a few times to tickle Noah's foot b/c he just thought Noah was the cutest baby ever.

We're going to have family pictures done tomorrow. Cross your fingers and hope he's having a great day and gives us lots of smiles :-)
