Month 6-7...Summer Time

After his surgery our family had our first vacation as a party of four. What a relief not to have to worry about distractors and band aids. Our family needed to get away and the timing was perfect. Noah was back to eating well and napping was a work in progress.

By 6 months Noah was 17 lbs and 24 inches long. He was growing beautifully despite all his setbacks. Praise the Lord Almighty. He was also crawling in all directions and nothing was stopping him. He was sitting independently. He could even feed himself the baby puffs. Developmentally he was doing well except that besides "la" he was not saying much. He wasn't mute but he wasn't saying specific sounds. We also introduced a sippy cup...NUK being the best for his cleft palate.

By 7 months Noah was a speedster. He was pulling himself up and even cruising. He was able to sit up on his own and responding to his name. But the most thrilling summer news with our Noah was that a day after my birthday he said MAMA. Clear as a bright sunny day, MAMA. How joyous this was for us. He continues to say Mama. He has added "na" to his sounds. We are working on Papa. :)
