Noah's old!

Five months old, that is.

He's such a joy! He's such a smiley, easy-going baby and we've really enjoyed watching him learn and grow so far. He can roll over both ways, is way more interested in toys and seems like maybe he's getting closer to being able to sit on his own...He's also become much more interested in figuring out different textures and feels everything around him almost constantly!

In the mornings, Noah likes to look out our back door while I have a quiet moment to eat breakfast. He's fascinated with the trees he can see silhouetted against the sky.

After I eat breakfast, I go play over by the window, too! It's lots of fun :)

Ready for bed!

Practicing sitting with daddy.

Kind of random in this post, but I know our mothers were getting after us because we weren't showing them photos of our new place. Here's a view of the front. We'll reveal the inside once Eric's done with classes and we can get down to business with decorating.

On Tuesday Noah and I went to The Pioneer Woman's cookbook signing in Fairfax. He was a real trooper and everyone in line around us kept commenting on how good he was! We were in line for hours but he didn't have any breakdowns at all and when it was finally our turn to go up, he was very somber as he took in the situation :) Ree told me that he looked like a wise old soul and asked if she could snap his picture. Of course I said yes! I'll be trolling her blog for the next week or so to see if Noah made the cut for the cute baby pictures she always posts from her book signings.

Fuzzy photo. I got there two hours early and still ended up standing pretty far back.

She's kind of one of my heroes. Probably because she helps me justify my addiction to rich foods made with lots of butter :)
