8 Months Old!

Noah is 8 months old! Can you believe it? Matty and I can not! He is doing great! Growing taller and he weighs about 20 pounds. He pulls up, waves, moves around the furniture while hanging on, crawls, sits, rolls, and squeals a lot! He gives good hugs and sloppy kisses! He likes to sing, open all the drawers and cabinets he can find, and turn (rather violently) all the pages of the books he comes across. He smiles a lot, drools a lot, and has NO teeth. We make a lot of "Toothless in Lawrence" jokes. He can play on his own, but he is incredibly nosy. He wants to be in the middle of everything - not sure where he got that! He takes a bath most nights, and he loves to play and splash around in the tub (when he's not trying to jump out and get the toys that he throws out). He goes to bed at 8:30 and sleeps all night until sometime between 6:00 and 7:00, and he has started napping at 10 and 2 at home and daycare (though he is not a good napper at daycare). He loves fruits (especially fruit medley) and eats three meals a day. He has started some "adult" foods but only a few things and only in small bites.
Noah is the light of our life and we have enjoyed sharing him with you! Thanks for all the help and kind words over the past 8 months! And we are looking forward to many more!

What an incredible story for an 8 month old.
He has done a lot in his 8 short months and
will keep right on doing and growing and you
will be able to add more stories about Noah.
Love the pictures, especially the second one
and the last one. What a doll.

His smile is the sweetest smile I have ever
seen.
Love that kid.

I am commenting! Noah is growing up too fast. I can't believe he is turing into a little boy right before our eyes. :-) And I am jealous that you all are going to Stillwater this weekend. Is it football season already?
P.S. I love the last two pictures. Too cute!!!
