The Dunsworth's: 5 Months

Noah, you are 5 months old today! I cannot believe that in one more month, you will be having your half birthday. Here's what you've been up to this past month:

You're wearing a size 3 diaper and some 3-6 month, but mostly 6 month clothing.
You are almost sleeping through the night. You have finally started going to bed at a decent hour (between 7:30 and 8:30pm), instead of 10 or 11pm. This makes Mommy and Daddy VERY happy! You usually wake up just once to eat.
We tried rice cereal and some baby food when you turned 4 months old but you were just not interested yet so we took a break for a couple of weeks. Last week we tried again with rice cereal and pears, and you ate it! We'll slowly try new foods over the next few weeks.
You are a giggle-monster! You love to smile and laugh.
You discovered your feet last month, but now you are sucking on your toes. It's so cute!
You love to suck on your fingers, or Mommy and Daddy's fingers, or on anyone else's who put their hands near you.
We're still waiting for that first tooth to pop up. You drool like crazy and have been pretty grumpy that last couple of days, so I think it might be soon.
You love to look in the mirror. Mommy will stand in front of it and you will get the biggest smile on your face when you see "the baby in the mirror". Sometimes you get shy and smile and then turn your head into my shoulder.
You are "talking" more and more. I always say that you tell the best stories.
You love to watch the cats and Lola and always try to pet them when they come close to you. Of course, you also like to grab handfuls of fur, too! You also like to watch the fish in our aquarium. We've learned that this helps calm you if you are upset.
You love to be loved on, which is okay by me! You love kisses and now give kisses and hugs back. I love it!
You're also into faces now. You will pull on noses, lips and eyes when being held by someone.
You love to dance!
You went to your first playgroup at church last week. You were the youngest there, and one of only 3 boys. While you were having tummy time on the mat, 4 little girls all came to sit with you and one little girl kept giving you kisses! It was SO cute! I could have kicked myself for not bringing the camera. We will definitely be going back!
