Noah - Month 7

Noah's 7th month of life was so much fun! He hit a few milestones and we also celebrated some of his first major Holidays together (Thanksgiving and Christmas).  He was a little under the weather for the first time from his 6 month shots and was full blown sick for the first time on his 7th month birthday.  Also on his 7th month birthday....he got 2 bottom teeth! We had a bit of an issue with weight gain (he was in the 0.3% for a little while) and Noah was almost put on formula, but mommy figured out her low supply issue after lots of work and he gained 1 pound in three weeks. By the end of the month he weighed 14.25 pounds and was 27.5 inches long!

Bear with me, there are a ton of photos this month!

Merry

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

C and I have a tradition of getting new pajama's each year for Christmas, so of course we had to get matching ones with our little man this year!

I honestly didn't take but 2 pictures the entire day, so I don't have much to share.  Noah was loving crawling on his presents and he ever ripped into a few.  It was so much fun watching him. Of course, Grandma spoiled him which was exciting too. Mommy and Daddy got him all sorts of new foods and snacks to try now that he is becoming a big boy :)

How was your Christmas?  Did you have a wonderful time with your friends and family?

Happy Thanksgiving from our Little Turkey!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

We gave Noah little pieces of avocado and sweet potato and watched him try to get them into his mouth....kept us entertained the entire meal. He made a huge mess, but he loved it!

I am so thankful for my little family and this little man...he has brought so much joy into my life!

Halloween Fun

Well Noah's first Halloween has officially come and gone!  My goodness, I am thankful for a hubby that will indulge my need to dress up in matching costumes :)  Such a great man!

We really didn't have plans for Halloween because I didn't want to go around asking for candy from strangers with only a baby (who clearly couldn't eat said candy) in tow.  So we dressed up, took a bunch of pics, dropped by the neighbor's house for a singe "Trick or Treat" and then C and I left NoJo with Grandma and went to Fleming's (with a giftcard) for a Steak and Lobster dinner!  Great Halloween in my book!

In early September C and I were shopping in a local baby resale store and ran across the most adorable chicken costume.  I had to have it.  For $6, it was a total steal!

From that came the idea for our Halloween costumes.  I planned on being a pig, but C purchased the little kit for me.  When I got home, I just couldn't go through with it, the nose was hideous!  So, a few hours before we left for the day I ran to Michaels and Target to gather supplies and made myself a quick sheep costume!  One pack of cotton balls and 3 sheets of felt later I was transformed!

Baaaaa

When we got to Grandma's house, they gave us a prop and we became.....the Dukes Family Farm!

Dukes Farm!

Selfie!

C was really cracking me up, I loved how he got into the photos :)

I was not to sure how Noah would do with the costume, but I don't think he even really knew he had it on!  We did a test run a few weeks before and he acted the same way, like he didn't even know it was there haha.  Hopefully this means there are some cute baby hats in our future!



Posing

After almost all of the pics were done I tried to get one more from the side so you could see the whole effect of the costume.  I passed him over to Grandma....and this happened:

Oops!

Even though we didn't go house to house, dressing up was still a ton of fun and I'm glad we got to do it! By the end of the night, Noah was exhausted.  I just love how he falls asleep these days.  On his side and always with his little bear we affectionately call "blue."

Hope everyone else had a fun Halloween!
