5 Months Old Today!

Noah turned 5 months old today. It's so hard to believe how fast the time has flown. He has changed so much over the course of this month that looking back on pictures and videos from earlier in the month, it makes me wonder, "was that really THIS month?"
Noah is learning new things everyday and it's such a gift and blessing to see his curiosity grow more and more. Here are a few fun-facts about Noah's 5th month:

- He started sleeping primarily on his stomach at bedtime. This started when he had a stuffy nose and he just naturally started rolling over during the night. Most of the time, now, he'll roll right over when we put him down for bed and sleep all night like that. He never stays in one place though and he often does doughnuts in his crib...we never know which end of the bed he'll wake up on! Also, for any of you with young babies, Tyra and I highly recommend this and this for colds and stuffy noses!! Works like a charm and smells good too!

- He now eats rice cereal twice a day (morning and afternoon) and seems to really like it. It gets a little messy, but who cares. His, poops, have become...shall we say...a little stinkier! Whoa!!!!!

- He is fascinated with Gabi and enjoys watching her walk around, play with her toys, and wag her tail.

- He plays peek-a-boo with himself and us. He likes using his burp-cloth to "hide," then pull it down so we can see him.

- He laughs a lot at our silly songs and faces.

- He wakes up almost every morning at about 6:30 talking to himself in his crib, then gives us a huge smile when he sees us...one of the best moments in life!

- He has started to hold his own bottle, though he still needs a little help to tilt it up all the way.

-Has patented what his teachers at PJCA call his "old man face." Some examples--->



- Noah loves being around other kids. He cracks up when they act silly around him.

- As you'll see in his 5 month video, he is trying really hard to crawl, but he's not quite there yet.

- Favorite toys this month: Octi the purple octypus, black and white "crunchy-sounding ball, monkey rattle, blue dog that plays music.
