At 5 months, Norah seems to be learning and growing too fast for her age. She is officially mobile--rolling all over the place. You can leave her in the middle of the room for a moment and have to look around for her when you walk back in. She even made it under the kitchen table once! Now that she's mastered rolling, it means that she spits up all over the carpet instead of keeping it contained on a blanket. I have my burp cloths and wipes within my reach at all times. She also rolls over at night when she's completely swaddled, so I occasionally find her sleeping on her tummy. She does lots of "superman" and is even starting to push herself up onto her knees!
She has also started playing with and reaching for toys. She's quite entertained by her little play gym and her Sofie the Giraffe. Anything she can grab immediately goes to her mouth. She's also at the stage where she grabs hold of her toes--especially when she's unclothed, which is just one of my favorite things ever.
Norah wakes up pretty regularly at 4:30 am for a quick feeding and then stays in bed until I get Emmett off to the bus stop. She has no patience for burping or any delay at all when changing sides during a feeding. She takes 3 naps a day--two short, one long. She has wild hair--long on top, short on the sides (one side in particular) and long at the neck. She also has the best smile around and shares it frequently. Now, take it easy, Norah, and stay a baby for a while!
Toes!
The living room is her world! No longer contained to a blanket...
Toys and hands working together.
