family life

Mr. Noah is growing up fast….in my opinion too fast.  Our little guy isnt so little anymore.  Almost 8 months old now!!  He is about 25 pounds and 75cm tall.  He is quite heavy if you are holding him for an extended amount of time.

He is eating my wallet empty.  Who knew babies were so expensive?!?   He is drinking 5 200ml bottles a day along with 3 meals and numerous snack times.  He has fruits for breakfast and for lunch and dinner he eats some kind meat vegetable, rice mix.  He also eats some of whatever we are eating as well because he thinks he is a big boy already and wants to feel included or he starts to complain.  He knows how to get his way these days!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

His sleep patterns are still the same as before.  He goes to bed around 9pm and wakes up once during the night usually around 1 for a bottle.  Hopefully we can ween him off the bottle in the night so we can get  a full night of sleep.  But to be honest I cant complain he is a pretty good boy and doesnt stay up long.  He then wakes up when the house does around 7.  Naps included he is sleeping about 12 hours….wish I could sleep that long!!

With all that sleep the little man has a lot of energy and has been exploring his boundaries of the living room.  He crawls around and stands up on anything that will support him!  Pretty cute!!  He is getting really fast!  Now the living room is too small and boring for him so when ever the door opens Noah is rushing to the door to try and escape.  But usually the living room is the only room heated so the rest of the house is freezing and not fun to be in.  The temperature is hovering around 0*C or high 20*s or low 30*s.

He is now extremely vocal but not really saying anything but the goo goo ga ga`s.  He loves to be read to an we have already exhausted our local libraries English books.  That being said the same book over and over is just as entertaining for him.  He also loves any kinds of electronics.  He has already broken one of my laptops and if there are any cell phones laying around he is sure to find them and slober all over them!  Clapping is his latest trick that he likes to do when something is funny or he is having fun.

I put some pics below from recent to older.  Im sorry they are all sideways it takes forever for me to readjust every single one!  And Im just getting the hang of this website thing so its extremely frustrating!  Enjoy and please comment!

 So it’s been about 3 months since I lasted posted anything on my baby boy….let alone anything else really either!  Sorry summer has been super hectic here!  Noah is now 5 months and some change and a little above 20 pounds.  He is getting extremely heavy to carry around for extended periods of time.  He has pretty much doubled in weight in the last two months and growing bigger still every day!  That could be due to his enormous consumption of just about everything we give him.  His current diet consists of breast milk throughout the day when he gets cranky.  In the morning he gets a fresh fruit breakfast his favorites so far are banana and peach!  For lunch and dinner we keep introducing new things but so far he has eaten carrots, pumpkins, spinach, potatoes, and his favorite zucchini all cooked with a onion and chicken broth then taken out and smashed up!  Potatoes so far are the ones he likes the least!  Then at night before he goes to bed he gets a big bottle of formula.  He also drinks some different kinds of baby juice throughout the day as well.  So far he hasn’t turned anything down!

He goes to bed around 9ish and doesn’t wake up until around 3 for a feeding then goes back to bed until the house comes alive around 7 when the kids are going to school!

He is sitting by himself and grabbing anything in sight to put in his mouth.  He has a strong grip and even stronger bite!  He is learning to crawl very slowly but usually he just keeps rolling back and forth until he gets to where he wants to go!  His new trick is putting both his lips together and sticking out his tongue and blowing spit and bubbles!!  He is quite an active boy and very vocal.  No words but lots and lots of different sounds! He wants to be where the people are and is very curious about everything.  Thankfully he hardly cries he just wines when he wants something!  The only time I can really think that he cries is when someone strange and scary is holding him!  He is progressing very well I think and I’m thankful to my lovely wife for doing such a great job!

We have had to dump pretty much all the clothes he got when he was a baby and go get new stuff as he is huge now!  We went to the baby department store here and spent a fortune on new clothes, toys, and any and everything else you can think of.  The weather is getting colder here and I’m a little nervous on how he is going to take the freezing weather!  But I think he will do OK!

Will try to get on the website a little more regularly from now on!  I apologize in advance for your neck ache due to the pictures didn’t edit them before!
