Norah turned five months old during her first vacation down south. Despite a long drive and a lot of new things, Norah was a trooper and enjoyed herself (whether she was on a walk in the woods or hanging out with grandma and grandpa).

At her five month checkup Norah weighed in at 16 lbs 8 ozs and 26 inches long. She does a good job sitting up and can do so unassisted for short periods of time. Her main preoccupation these days is putting anything she can get her hands on into her mouth. Even with toys in front of her, she's more interested in whatever mom or dad is holding. Other likes: her jumperoo, when we sing to her, bare feet, going on outings, toys that squeak, crinkle, or rattle; raspberries on her tummy, splashing in the bath, playing "this little piggie", chatting with us and smiling on the changing table.
