6 Months Old

My little boy is now 6 months old and full of personality. It's been fun watching his personality develop over the last couple of months. He's gone from a very calm and easy going baby to a speed around the room, don't keep me tied down, little boy. He used to love sitting and watching his big sister play, but now he likes to tackle her. Noah started crawling right at 5 months old. He still doesn't get his belly off the ground, but boy is he fast. Wherever Heidi is he will crawl to her, grab on to her, and try to pull up to which causes her to fall over and "be tackled". He just wants to be with his big sister. He can go from laying down to sitting up with ease and is now trying pull all the way up to standing. I was hoping he wouldn't be mobile for another couple of months but we'll just have to adjust. Last night he was crawling around the game room and put his hand on the treadmill (which is a big no no in our house) and Heidi went over to him, put her hand on his head, and said "tie out. No crawling treadmill". I couldn't help but laugh, it was great.

At his 6 month check-up he weighed 17 lbs. 6 oz. and was 26 1/2 in. long. He is in the 50% for both weight and height. He's growing and gaining weight at a good rate. The doctor commented on how active and coordinated Noah is. He also called Noah a monkey because when you hold Noah he squeezes his feet together to hold on just like a monkey does.

Heidi still adores Noah and Noah adores Heidi. I love having my kids so close in age.
