a new year already?!

 

Forget about years... another month already?!!
(After all, that's the unit of measurement -- or shall we say speed of light?! -- that babies grow in.)

Today, Noah turned 5 months!

Still baffled by Charlotte being 2 1/2 years old, we have no idea how the last months have flown by and Noah is now almost half a year old.

And a lot has happened in the past five months: From the first sleepy newborn days, and very hungry days AND nights... to a calmer schedule. From simply eating and sleeping to actively playing, enjoying tummy time and sitting on big sister's lap. From first sweet smiles at 5 weeks old to a loud and heartwarming giggling at around 11/12 weeks, which instantly makes you laugh too. From silent and attentive looks to the first chatty cooing at 7/8 weeks of age. From the discovery of his hands and feet (and that both fit almost fully into his mouth ;-) around 9/10 weeks to firmly holding onto things at 13/14 weeks, grabbing for everything in reach himself from week 16 and wanting to be pulled up now. From accidentally rolling over from his tummy back onto his back in week 15 to working hard week after week to almost roll all by himself from his back onto his tummy today.

There's so much ahead of you in the new year, Noah... and we are all excited to share and discover this with you!!

Big hugs to our sweet sweet Noey.
