He sits independently, completely unsupported for as long as he wants. Our beautiful baby boy is doing wonderfully! He is ahead on many milestones and becoming quite verbal - he says "mama" and "hi". He loves to blow bubbles, laugh, coo, play with rattles, play peek-a-boo, listen to music, read books, and dance with Sam. He is mouthing everything and his first tooth is breaking through on the bottom left. He weighs 16 pounds and is VERY strong.
He is a very happy little guy, smiles whenever he gets your attention and only cries when Sam takes a toy away from him or he's overtired/hungry. He is eating 3 regular meals every day of baby food and has quite an appetite! He is happy to eat pretty much whatever we give him and even tried challah for the first time at Rosh Hashanah. We are holding off on table food...for now.
He loves to play with toys, especially opening and closing things (like books!)

He is ready to take on the world and loves to walk around holding our hands. He is beginning to cruise a bit and holds onto a table or furniture to play with something on top of it.

| Holding himself up and playing! He is anxious to start crawling, but isn't fully there yet (thank goodness! I'm not ready for him to be completely mobile!). He is scooting, doing the army crawl, and rocking.  Rocking on his hands and knees with Pa! Here he started off on the playmat and scooted about 5 feet over in just a few minutes!   At his 6 month doctor's appointment, the pediatrician asked me if I had tried giving him a sippy cup. I hadn't even thought about such an idea - he seemed so young! But I figured, why not!? So, I gave him a sippy cup of water - and he immediately grabbed it, brought it to his mouth, and began drinking water from it like he has done it a million times. Yes, I am raising a baby genius. :) BUT - his favorite activity remains cuddling and talking to people - especially his family!    He continues to be a terrific sleeper. Noah goes to bed around 8pm and sleeps until about 730am. He takes 1 big nap around 1230pm - which thankfully is the same time as Sam's nap! We always laugh about his "old man" sleeping position - on his back with his arms folded under his head (see below). He loves to hang out like this while we're changing his diaper, when he's resting/sleeping, in the car seat, etc.  Now that he's sitting so independently, he loves to be in the grocery cart. He talks and coos to all the other customers and LOVES sitting next to Sam in the double basket at Costco!   Bathtime remains one of his favorite activities. He loves to play in the bubbles, splash, and blow bubbles to big brother Sam. I'm so glad that he is comfortable in the water!  Now that the weather has turned colder, we've started to use some of the beautiful hand-knit sweaters on the chilly mornings.

Wow!!! what a big guy...time certainly does fly. I love the resting pic of him with his hands over his head...I think he looks like David there :) Hopefully, we can have a playdate soon!! Miss you. xoxox Dana
Can't wait to see him at Christmas! He's so big!! Tell him not to teach Ravi any of this standing up early nonsense...we are not childproofed yet!
