Big things!

It's been a big week for our Noah-man!  Last Wednesday he rolled from tummy to back multiple times proving it was now an accomplished milestone, not just a fluke.  That same day I realized he was grabbing his right toes with his hand, so he's also discovered his feet!  And today, Aug. 20, 2012, our little man rolled very intentionally, TWICE, from back to front.  The first time I was out running errands and Daddy texted me (I was very sad) but a few hours after I got home he did it for Mommy!  I missed it with the video camera but literally a few seconds!  Here's a picture of him in his new shade hat I found on clearance!

What's the haps?!

Life has been moving by steadily.  Noah turned 4 months on the 7th and had his 4 month appointment on the 9th.  He weighs in at 15 lbs. 15.9oz. and is 25in. long.  I think the dr. said that was 50% for both but I'm not sure and can't find a calculator online that confirms anything (plus the CDC uses a different chart than the WHO so I'm not sure which my pediatrician uses and the ones online are clearly labeled).





In the middle of July, Noah spent a week as "Super Baby" at Granada's VBS.  "He" led cape time.  It's amazing how telling a group of 20-25 energetic 1-6th graders that "Super Baby left me some orders for you" gets them to actually listen!  He did amazing, napping in the Moby or watching it all from his Bumbo.



At the end of the VBS week, Noah got to meet his 2nd cousin, Norah, who was visiting (with her mommy and daddy of course!) from IL!  They're only about 4 months apart so it was fun to see them interact and also see a little glimpse into the near future for what Noah will be like.  I'm a little sad that they live so far away as I grew up so close with my cousins, but it won't be long til Noah has some more on the Alcorn/Nieto side, 7 more months to be exact (Thanks Neeva & Brian!).

As for milestones, he's rolling really well from back to side but not quite making it over to his stomach.  He can roll stomach to back like a champ though!  He's super interested in his hands, often going way cross-eyed as he looks at them.  He also seems to be teething as he's gnawing like crazing on his and mommy & daddy's hands and starting to drool a lot more.

Most recently, Matt's cousin Janna got married yesterday.  This was Noah's 2nd wedding and first time on a boat (they got married on a yacht).  He did really well considering being out all day and the heat. (excuse my finger in the top corner of the picture)
