"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

5 Months Old!

Norah was 5 months old on July 5th! I can't believe we are just one month away from being 6 months old!  Norah is our happy little girl as she loves to flash big smiles at anyone that comes up to see her.  She really likes to be held by Mommy most of the time, especially when she's tired, she doesn't even want Daddy. :)  Norah could roll from back to tummy before this month but has really done it a lot more this past month.  She also rolled from tummy to back for the first time this month.  It took her doing it a couple of times before we were able to see her do it.  She isn't that good at it yet though and has only done it a few times, so she often gets frustrated after being on her tummy for a while.  The first time she did it, she was laying on the floor in the morning and looked over and saw she had rolled from her back to her tummy.  Then I looked over again later and she was back on her back, so I guessed she had figured it out or kind of done it on accident. :)  Another thing Norah has done this month is start to figure out that she can grasp things with her hands.  She's not great at it yet, but she is really starting to figure out that she can reach out and grab something and then hang on to it or stick it in her mouth. :)  Norah continues to love to chew on her hands, your hands, your shirt, or anything else she can get a hold of.  She also is still drooling A LOT.  It is not uncommon to see a large drip of drool coming out of her mouth, in fact, I have stopped trying to catch it with a cloth. :)  Something else Norah has started to do the last week or so is yell really loud.  It's like all of a sudden she has discovered she has a loud voice.  She is often heard just sitting there going "AHHHHHHHHH" and she's completely happy when doing it, it's like she's saying, "hey, I can talk too!!". :)  Norah also LOVES to watch Kyler.  It is fun to see their relationship start to develop as Norah is getting older and more interactive.  She will sit and watch him run around the room or just play.  If she gets up from her nap first and Kyler is still sleeping, it's like she looks around for him wondering where he's at.  She will also get so excited when he comes up to her  to talk to her or give her a hug.  This is one of the times she yells the loudest, and then Kyler will yell back-like they have their own little language. :)  Here are some pictures from the last month:
