Noah Sean,
You are already five months old...how did this happen?  A year ago, you were barely a peanut in my belly.  You are going through so many changes, and we can barely keep up.  You have mastered many skills like rolling over and over and over again!  One day I could lay you on your back and then this happened...

rolling...rolling...rolling

You love to kick your feet up in the air, and you are mastering the Happy Baby Pose by grabbing your feet.  You do this constantly, and you are truly happy playing with your feet.  Your hand-eye coordination is getting better every day, and you can hold your toys and put your pacifier in your mouth.  You love to grab our faces and pull them close to yours.  You laugh at the baby in the mirror, and anytime you are upset, we let you look at yourself and you get so excited.

Your friend Mercer let you borrow his exersaucer, and you are having a great time playing.  You have started finding your voice, which we have discovered is not always a good thing for our eardrums.  You seriously sound like a screeching pterodactyl, and you know that it gets our attention.  Let's hope you grow out of screeching soon!

Your uncle Sean and aunt Caroline also came to visit you this month.  They love you so much, and drove all the way from Pittsburgh just for the weekend!

You started MDO this month like a big boy.  Your teachers love you, and they tell me you love to cuddle.  They say you smile all the time and are very sweet.  That makes me so happy!  Mrs. Bridget texts me and sends me pictures of you being a good boy.

Playing at MDO

You and Scarlett are getting closer, or maybe she's getting used to you finally.  You have started trying to "pet" her, which really means you pull her ears.  She is patient with you and lets you mess with her (she hasn't seen anything yet) as long as she gets to sneak in a lick as much as possible.  She will love you even more when you start dropping food on the floor, but I'm afraid you may be pretty rough with the sweet girl before too long.  You are all boy after all!

Noah, we love you so much!  I cannot believe you are ours!
