Father's day!

(5m 2w)
Today is Father's day! Noah went in the pool for the first time and he loved it! I knew he would, he loves his baths so much. He did so well in his baby float. Emma went in the pool for her first time, too. She did not enjoy it as much, but she still had some fun.

Noah joined the local gymboree class one day a week for activities such as group playing and singing with other moms and kids. I met a bunch of other moms, too. It is so nice to be with other moms and their babies watching the kids play together! Next week we are going to Boston, we'll see how Noah does with traveling and sleeping in a foreign place.

Noah is rolling very well from his back to his belly, but no desire to roll the other way. He is sitting up--tripoding as they call it, balancing with his hands on the floor, between his legs. He is eating cereal and fruit every day and doing quite well! We will be starting vegetables soon.

He is changing so much and doing so many new things! Yesterday, Joe discovered if you hold Noah by his hands, he will pull himself up to a standing position! Last night, he decided to sleep on his belly for the first time. And today, he showed me how he can take his pacifier out of his mouth and put it back in; such great fine motor control he has over his hands! This morning he was on his belly and pushed himself up on his arms, with straight locking elbows! And each day, he gets better at sitting up by himself! So many firsts are happening!
