You are now 27 pounds! (still above 100 %!)
You are 29 inches. (still above 100 %!)
This boy just hasn't stopped growing! Every day he is looking more and more like a little man and not a baby. It's so sad to see the time just going ridiculously fast, but, then again - I'm so thrilled to watch him as he gets older and starts interacting even more with his big brother. I hope they grow up to be as close with one another as we both are with our siblings. So far, things are looking good. :)
We've really been experimenting with more foods this month. We added some bananas, actual white rice, mixed vegetables, tried some rolls and mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. He really loved the potatoes!! Definitely my son, there. Bring on the carbs please. :)
Jacob loves to help me feed you baby food. He also talks to you just the same as Daddy and I talk to you. It's incredibly precious. Gosh, he loves you so much.
You are mostly wearing 18 month clothes now. Some 12 month, depending on the brand. But, for the most part 18 month is our standard. CRAZY! Because of the size and the weather getting so much colder now...you are literally wearing things that Jacob wore last winter. I just put all of these away. So crazy!
You are still incredibly happy! When you wake up in the morning, or from a nap, you don't even cry. I will just hear you in your crib playing, laughing and "talking". We're so thrilled that you're such a relaxed and easy going baby!
You still haven't had a tooth pop through. AHHH! We've seen it waiting to poke through for weeks and weeks now. Hopefully soon. In the meantime, you put anything and everything in your mouth to chew and/or try to eat.
You are sitting up SO well. Sometimes you last about 20 or 30 minutes watching Jacob play next to you! I love this picture of you and your Uncle Jimmy...you actually look small in comparison to him! Ha. :)
You're SO close to crawling. You scoot everywhere. When we put you down on the carpet, you are never in the same place for very long.
My side of the family must be coming through in waves. You love to play cards like we do. Especially Phase 10 and Rummy. :)
Now that our Christmas tree is up...you LOVE sitting in front of it to stare at the lights.
You still absolutely love your jumperoo. You still spend about 2 hours a day in there!
You love swinging in the backyard!! You get the biggest smile on your face when I push you and you get to swing next to to your brother.
You love taking baths with your brother! Jacob loves it, too. He mostly loves it because he thinks that since you splash everywhere...it's okay for him, too. Ha. :)
You are still a fantastic sleeper! At night you sleep 10-12 hours. Most days, you take 2 long naps and a short nap. Still, only sleeping on your tummy.
You are really trying to talk. You love to babble and have a "conversation" with us.
You love Jacob so much. The other day you were a little fussy and I couldn't get anything to calm you down. I finally walked through the hallway and pointed out a big portrait of Jacob. (He was playing at his grandparents house that day.) You immediately stopped crying, starting to smile and laugh, then kept trying to reach for him and grab the picture. So precious.
You love watching the Cowboys like the rest of your family! Even if the coach makes questionable calls and ends up icing his kicker to lose the game. :) I love this picture so much, because you remind me so much of what your brother looked like...in this exact jersey, exact same sitting position, and the exact same age and 7 month post!! Click here to see it.
Last but not least, your monthly picture!! First was your 6 month picture, then your 7 month one. :)

He is precious!! And I really think he looks like you. I can't believe it's been 7 months since he was born though. Crazy!
I can't believe how big you have gotten so fast. You and your big brother are already playing so well together. He loves to bring you a toy to play with, as long as it's not one of his favorites, but he shares those too. Today, I was taking Jacob to his BB's house, and he said, "I love Noah" we weren't even talking about you. I am so glad that you guys are so close. I cherish these times so much. A week ago you slept on my chest, we typically lay you down, but I didn't want to put you down, I just wanted to cuddle with you. You are such a good cuddler. You are starting to play so well. You like cars and balls just like your brother. When we play cars or basketball, you always have to be there and have one too. I love to tickle you and hear you laugh. You have definitely filled our lives with even more love then we had before. We love you Noah Bear.
Haha love it! I love the picture of Jacob feeding Noah. We just started food with Paxton, so that makes me excited to see and look forward to! And I think it's funny, Pax is starting to do the same thing lately - when he's upset, if Everett walks in the room he's instantly calm. And over here, we are also waiting and waiting for the teeth that we can see RIGHT THERE!!! Ugh.
It's hard to believe how much we love Noah and Jacob. After having children and loving them for years, it's truly amazing to realize that you can love grandchildren on an entirely different level - probably has something to do with the ability to walk away at times when they get really cranky! We can't wait to see their eyes light up on Christmas!
Love always...
Debbie and Badi, thanks for sharing this update of my sweet nephew. It makes me happy to see pictures of him and the family.
We got those coupons from my mom. She got them for being a teacher. But they were only good for the 1st weekend in December. SOrry!
SO CUTE!!! I LOVE a chubby baby! He is bigger than my 18 month old! Your boys will have a great time together in no time. Mine are 2 years apart and play so well, it warms my heart! And I LOVE all the cute crafts you have been doing! SO fun!
Noah is so precious. I love looking at all the pictures of Jacob and Noah...just wish we LIVED CLOSER to you!!!! I love that Jacob and Noah take baths together....that picture of them in the tub is adorable!
