Noah News

At 5 weeks old Noah is already starting to fill out (yeah, that's an understatement), become more alert and has started showing a little personality. In the past few days he's hit an early milestone and has begun to smile as well, really smiling big smiles with his whole face. (And no, it's not gas, that's such a stupid idea anyways. Whoever came up with that idea, that babies smile when they have gas? Actually Noah seems to think having gas, burping, or any other bodily function regarding the intestinal tract is a major production and he grunts, groans, grimaces, cries, and generally gets cranky about it.) Course he's good natured anyways and seems to often have a little smirky face, like he knows a funny secret. But now, the kid's been really smiling. And, who do you think he smiles at most? That's right, he'll lovingly gaze up and smile beautifully at....the ceiling fan. Yep, apparently him and the ceiling fan are best buds because the kid smiles at it quite often. Who knows why? I mean, he'll also smile at Mom, Dad, or big sis every now and then but he loves the ceiling fan the best.

The other bit of news about Noah is that he's learned a trick..an amazing trick! Every now and then, just for fun, when he spits up he makes milk come out his nose..ta-da! Cool huh? He'll be so popular in the elementary school cafeteria some day. Actually, poor kid, he doesn't like when this happens and it makes him cough and sputter and the first time it happened I was like, "What the...?" But now it's just run of the mill stuff. You know, the kid smiles at the ceiling fan and squirts milk out his nose...that's just how he rolls.
