Noah finally gets to eat food and he loves it. He quickly learned to eat and often has his mouth open and ready. He has tried cereal, carrots, broccoli, peas, and pumpkin and butternut squash soup. He is can sit up on his own and roll from his stomach to his back. He got to go swimming for the first time and loved it. He is starting to be aware of people he doesn't know; he looks for mommy and daddy. He loves playing with toys and is quick to grab things. He is sweet and has started to give me pats on my back.

Thanksgiving
For the second year in a row, we ran the Monte Turkey Trot. This year Noah got to join us. It was cold and it took us about 40 minutes to run a 5k but we had a fun. James's family came to our house for Thanksgiving dinner. Harper enjoyed getting to know her cousin Isaiah. Harper's cousin, Shelby, who is 36 years old was also there. Thankfully I did not have to cook the Turkey.
Noah and Harper are bundled up for the 5k ride.

Harper dancing with Daddy
Harper loves putting both her skirts on and dancing. She enjoys it even more if James or I dance with her.
Stretching
One night I told Harper that dinner was ready. She said she couldn't come to dinner because she was stretching. She realized she could see her reflection in the sliding glass door so she was watching herself stretch.

Bunkbeds
We decided it was time to move Noah out of our room and into the crib. The only problem is the crib was Harper's toddler bed. So, we decided to buy a bunkbed. We found a nice bunkbed and 2 dressers on Craigslist for $250. Harper was really excited to sleep in her new bunkbed. I was a little worried she would struggle with giving up her toddler bed but she never said a word.
Harper and Daddy put the bunkbeds together.
Harper had fun playing in the bunkbeds before we bought mattresses.

Putting Daddy to bed
James was taking a nap on the floor so Harper put "daddy to bed". She put lot so blankets on him.
Noah is 5 Months
Noah is a happy 5 month old baby. He has rolled over on his tummy. He is learning to sit-up. Noah is so patient with his sister, Harper. He likes to hold my hand while he nurses. He opens his mouth and gives me kisses. He has had terrible cradle cap and we have to wash his hair with Selsun Blue.
Uncle Fory and Aunt Leann made this cradle.

Seaside
Our post Cross Country vacation was to Seaside, Oregon in November. Oma and Oma booked us a room at the Worldmark right on the beach. We went to the Aquarium, played on the beach, ate at Pig n' Pancake, watched Hallmark movies in our hotel, and went to Fort Clatsop to learn about Lewis and Clark.

Harper loved playing at the beach. She could have stayed there all day.

Our hotel was the tall building
Harper loved running away from the waves. She fell down a few times and got really wet but she did not care. The water was FREEZING.
Even though Harper was wet she wanted to swing with Daddy.

Mommy and Noah
There was an older gentlemen that the Seagulls instantly went to when he came on the boardwalk; he must feed them everyday.
