Shopping with the Big Boy!




Sleeping Toddler

She sleeps with SO MANY blankets and stuffed animals around her face.



8 Months Old!!

Here are pictures from February 4, 2014 - they are obviously harder to take now because he moves around so much and kept trying to grab the piece of paper :)
















So what's new this month - starting with sleeping, he generally goes to bed around 6 or 630, wakes up once between 1-3am to eat and then sleeps until somewhere between 6 and 7.  A few times a week he tends to stay awake for upwards of an hour after he eats in the middle of the night - not a big fan of that - but we're hoping it's just a phase.  He takes two good naps a day most of the time, although his second nap is less predictable so if it's short, he still may take a third nap some days, though I think our days of the third nap are numbered, even with a short second nap.

As for eating, he loves to eat pureed food - he has oatmeal in the morning mixed with 2-3 ounces of breastmilk, and he has some kind of puree for lunch and dinner as well.  We've started to try giving some finger foods but he isn't too interested in feeding himself and tends to gag instead of chew the food.  He likes all different kinds of foods, but his favorite right now is yogurt.  He gobbles yogurt up like it's his job.

He can sit on his own now, though he doesn't know how to get into a sitting position or lay back down from a sitting position.  He also pivots himself around when he's on his belly.  It's only a matter of time before he starts crawling.

No new sounds or anything like that - same yayayayaya, dadadadada, and lots of screeching.  Lots of screeching.

Noelle's Unique Fashion Sense

Noelle is now very opinionated about her clothing.  She would only wear this outfit if we put the hood on.








And sometimes she has an interesting idea of what matches - here she is with a polka dot shirt, with a striped sweater and pants that have a bunny pattern all over them.  And it definitely looked worse in person.









Crazy Hair

Nathan's hair has more volume than anyone else in our house.
