Five Months Old

It seems like Nora has really grown this past month. She lays sprawled out in our arms now, with her head at one end and her legs dangling off to the side, legs kicking away. She is as sweet as she can be, and we are so grateful she has so many family and friends to love her!

Milestones:

• Drinking - and spilling - from a sippy cup with assistance
• Eating rice cereal
• Sitting up with only her back supported
• Rolling over to one side or the other to wrestle her toys
• Better dexterity in her hands and fingers - she loves her rings

We love her so!

Take a look at this photo. If you were going to associate an animal with Nora in this picture, what would it be? To Ben and I, it's pretty clear, and we think it's hilarious.

She's eating cereal now! Eating might be too strong of a word. Slurping? Face bathing? She seems to like it pretty well so far, which isn't saying much considering it basically has no taste whatsoever.

4 months!

Nora Grace is now four months old! She has started doing some new things:
- squealing
- trying to roll over (3 rolls to date)
- chewing on everything she can manage to get to her mouth
- paying attention to books when being read to
- holding herself in a more upright position

We feel so blessed to have such a wonderful baby!
