The Leptuch Family: Noah is 7 Months Old..(a little bit late)

Noah,

Updated: At his 7 month appointment (7 months 2 weeks old) he weighed 20 lbs 10 oz.

You are 7 months old. I cannot believe it. The time has flown and stood still at times.

You are definitely a happy baby. Your personality is shining through every day. You will sit for a long time and just play with your toys. We put a bucket of different toys for you and you reach in and grab them. You usually like to pull them out and put them to the side. You will find one that you like and examine it a bit longer than the others.
You love toys that make noise. It makes you smile and kick your legs and arms. You get extremely mad when someone takes away the toy that you are playing with. If I give you something else, it will usually distract you. You love, love, love your sister. You will give her "back rubs" when she stands with her back to you when you are in your "poop chair". You love to pull her hair. If she is sitting in her bed, waking up from her nap, you love to try and get her paci. You are sometimes successful. She always makes you smile and for that, I smile.

You are eating 4 bottles a day, 8 oz each of Elecare. You are doing much better on solids. You do not like peas or peaches. You make a funny face and your whole body shakes. Sometimes you gag. I guess you will be a picky eater like your mama. You love squash and apples the best.

You are also becoming a "better" sleeper. Your naps are all over the board, but you usually sleep a total of 3 hours during the day. You take two 45 minute naps and one 1 1/2 nap. I am thinking you are about ready to drop a nap and take 2 longer naps, but I am trying to figure out how to do that so that you and Ava nap at the same time. You are an EARLY waker. You wake up between 4:30 -4:45 am. That is another reason I think you need to drop a nap. That is just WAAAAY too early for this mama. You go to bed at 6:45 pm and for the most part are sleeping through the night. We have the occasional night that you wake up, but I think that was your teeth.

You got your 2 bottom teeth on July 30th. They popped up out of nowhere. I didn't even see white spots, they were just there. And trust me, I was looking every day.

You are in a size 4 diaper. You are wearing 9 month and 12 month clothes.

You are still only rolling from you back to your belly. No signs of crawling yet either. I hope you won't be in a hurry, because that means we have to do something with sissy's toys. You will try very hard to get something out of reach though.

You know who your mommy and daddy are. You are getting more used to strangers, but are still very cautious.

You are just so darn cute. We love you so much. Even though you have given us a run for our money, we love you so much and you always make us smile and forget about those early months where you didn't sleep AT ALL.
