5 Months Old

Noah turned 5 months old on his baptism day. He is still the most content and happy little guy. His sleep, unfortunately, has been a little all over the place, though. Between his 4 month shots, 3 colds, 2 ear infections, and teething, I would still say we have been lucky to get decent stretches each night, but his days of 9 or 10 hrs at a time are gone for now. We have also been forced to take him out of his swaddle permanently since he decided to roll over in it, so that doesn't help the whole sleeping situation, either.

He's been able to roll both directions since right at 4 months, but he definitely prefers to roll from his back to his belly and reach and attempt to scoot for things. Just in the past week, though, he has started really rolling all over the place. He is also REALLY trying to crawl and does this little inchworm thing all the way across the living room floor. So cute!

As we were coming home from Thanksgiving, we noticed he was cutting his first tooth - a bottom canine?! It poked all the way through with the tiniest little bit of white, but has since gone completely back under. Can't even feel it in there. He was miserable for a few days and I don't want him to go through that again, but I must admit, I'm happy it went back under. I don't want him to look like a vampire baby. :) He is now working on one of his bottom front teeth. We'll see how long it takes to actually pop through.

You talkin' to me?


Chillin' in my pink bouncy!


Where'd all my toys go?


Surprise!
