Noah - 5 Months

Noah, You are 5 months old.

You are such a happy baby!  You smile a lot and you don't cry much at all.

I took some pictures of you today after church.  I love your little puppy dog overalls.  They are so cute.  The ladies in the church nursery are just in love with you.  You are the only regular baby in early Sunday School so you pretty much run the place most Sundays.  We often find you asleep in the rocking chair with one of your teachers.

You have such big eyes and such soft cheeks.  Your hair is growing.  When you were born, your hair was strawberry blond.  But now it's more blond.

You like to reach for and grab things these days.  One of your favorite things to grab is your sister's hair.  She is a pretty good sport about it most of the time.   You are also interested in a lot of your toys.  One of your favorites is a toy duck that goes on your carseat.  I need to take a picture of it sometime.  You also like to grab cell phones and tv remotes.

You don't have any teeth yet, but you will be getting some very soon I think.  I can feel your two bottom teeth under your gums.  They will be coming in any day now.  You like to chew on your hands and anything else you can reach.  You still don't take a pacifier very much, but you like to drool and chew.

You like to rock.  When you're sitting in someone's lap, you will rock yourself back and forth.  I need to get this on video, but you are really a mover and a shaker!  You are always on the move.

You are a snuggler.  You like to hold things close.  We often find you in your bed with your blanket over your face.  We had to buy you a "wearable blanket" that zips up so that you can't get it over your face.  I will sleep much better knowing that your blanket is safely tucked around you.

I love this last little picture of you.  I see this expression on your face a lot and I think it's just so cute.

You eat 5 or 6 six ounce bottles a day.  You have tried green beans, sweet potatoes, and squash baby food and you like them all.

You are a big boy!  You wear 6 months or 6-9 months clothes and size 3 diapers.

We love you so much!  We are just so thrilled to watch you growing and changing every day.  I can't wait to see what you'll do next.
