5 months old

Oh my gosh! Our little boy is 5 months old today! How exciting! He’s growing so fast.

Noah’s day’s are consisting of lots of playtime with mom and dad, plunking on the piano and reading lots of Dr. Seuss. Sometimes he takes naps but we can’t always count on that! Noah started sleeping through the night at around his 4 month birthday. Mom is appreciating the extra sleep now. He has also started his new endeavor of rice cereal. He gets one bowl a day for supper with mom and dad. So far he really likes it. We can’t wait to let him try better tasting foods but we have to wait until he’s at least 6 months old. I guess he’ll have plenty of time to try everything later on.

Noah loves to roll around the living room and explore different things. If we put him down in one spot he’ll be across the room 10 minutes later. Therefore, we made the trip to the store to buy all the baby-proofing items we’ll need. It’s fun seeing him be able to get around on his own and gain some independence.

Noah now has his first cousin, Samuel, who was born on February 8. Samuel is a real handsome guy. The Baxleys sure produce some great kids! We’re excited for Noah to meet Samuel on Easter at Samuel’s baptism in Peoria.

Check out Noah’s new photos if you haven’t already done so. He’s growing fast!
