Mohawk, pulling up, and more

Noah's hair is finally growing out some. In fact, for a little while now, his little bald spot that he had on the back of his head (from sleeping on his back and rubbing his head around on the floor) has finally been covered over with hair. Anyway, with more hair now, Mike spiked his hair up after his bath the other night. It actually stayed up all through the night and I tried to take some pictures the next morning. It's sort of hard to see, but either way he's cute.

His latest trick is trying to pull himself up. He's able to pull up onto his knees, but that's about it so far. In the last few days he's started trying to get his feet up underneath him, but can't quite get it. I know he wants to stand and he's actually started to get ticked off that he can't do it yet. He's absolutely at the point that he needs constant supervision though. You turn your back for a second and he's across the room trying to get up on the stairs or pull up on the coffee table. We've tried to make the living room a little more "Noah" friendly but short of removing all the furniture and covering the tile I'm not sure what we can else we can do. And he's SO determined and strong willed. We've seen this from the time he was a newborn but now that he can actually try to get what he wants he really gets frustrated if things don't go his way. Mike and I have NO idea where he could have gotten this from (wink, wink).

He's doing great eating solids. I make a lot of his foods for him...fruits and veggies mostly. And so far he's liked everything he's had. We've started trying finger foods. He can pick them up but amazingly doesn't really put them in his mouth...this is amazing because everything else he gets his hands on immediately goes in his mouth. Silly boy. Anyway, the lighting in these pictures isn't so great, but you should be able to see that he got food everywhere but in his mouth!
