The Oldroyds: Norah is SIX months old!

I can't believe it! SIX months?! One half of a year?! NoNo is growing up wayyyyy too fast, but Tyson and I are loving every minute with her. I feel so blessed to be home with her everyday (even the loooonnnng days) to enjoy her growing up and to catch all of those precious milestones-thanks Tyson for all the hard work you put into providing for our family! Here is what Norah June has been up to the past two months!

Month Five

At 4 month appointment she weighed 13 lbs. 5.5 ounces-33rd percentile for weight and around 45th for height. Her head is still around the 10th percentile. We love our little runt!
Started eating cereal and baby food which is kinda hit and miss, but overall does pretty well with it.
Loves to put her toys in her mouth during mealtimes. We like to keep things messy around here.
Is trying to grow some hair...maybe someday she'll have enough for a little pigtail...just one.
Started to get very distracted while nursing. Sometimes there are just way too many things to look at!
Would try to roll from her back to her front when swaddled in her crib.

Month Six

Finally rolled from her back to her tummy on the day she turned five months...still has no interest in getting from her tummy to her back. Even though she only tolerates being on her tummy for a few minutes before she demands to be flipped back over.
Likes to hold onto the sides of anything you put her in...carseat, highchair, changing table, swing, bouncer.
Still LOVES to stand and walk, so we can rarely get her to sit down.
Thinks looking at herself in the mirror is the greatest.
Took her first trip out of Utah and went to California with my parents and I to see Great Grandma June. Can't say that 8 hour car rides are her favorite, but she did great!
Loves the wind in her face and makes the cutest expression like it is taking her breath away. Needless to say she loved the beach.
Watches EVERYTHING you put in your mouth and looks at you in shock that you aren't sharing.
Loves to stick out her tongue and smack it on her lips...it's the cutest.
Finally discovered her feet...doesn't think they are too fascinating, but will grab them and try to eat her toes every once in a while.
Loves to grab faces and mouths.
Likes cuddling with stuffed animals and most of all trying to eat them.
Shrugs her shoulders...just cause. And it is so darling.
