Sick :(

Jonah is getting over his very first cold (sad, I know). Luckily it wasn't too horrible, no fever or anything, just a cough and a very stuffy/runny nose. I think that it has been affecting his sleeping habits a little and making him a little more fussy during the day, but nothing too horrible I guess. I just felt so bad for him when he was coughing and when his nose was all stuffed up because he can't express how he's feeling and he can't blow his nose or anything like that (like we do when we're sick). He still smiles a lot and is most of the time his normal self so thank goodness for that! I am not looking forward to the time when he's REALLY sick and isn't his happy, smiley self.

So Jonah gave me his cold and I've been sick the past few days and it's no fun. I think I am worse than he was because it's definitely been affecting me more than it did him. I am so stuffed up and am constantly blowing my nose and can barely breath at times. The first two nights sleeping was horrible, but the past two nights have been a little better. Now today I have developed a cough so that is no fun, but hopefully I'm on the upswing! I am very lucky because this happened over the weekend so Micah was here to play with Jonah and do everything since I didn't feel up to it. Yesterday he was even able to take a sick day from work because he didn't have any meetings going on or anything he had to do at work. Today he went to work though and I feel even worse than I did yesterday:( It's so hard playing with Jonah and taking care of his needs when I feel so blah and just want to lay around the house doing nothing. I am really hoping this goes away very soon!!

5 Months!!!

Jonah was 5 months old yesterday and what a day...HE ROLLED OVER FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! We have been practicing doing it and he lots of times seems like he wants to do it, but just can't quite make it. Yesterday we were at Micah's parents house playing on the floor with him and Jane was rolling him back and forth, back to belly and belly to back. After a few times of doing this, he did it on his own, back to belly! I almost missed it, but I didn't. We all got so excited and made lots of noise and it scared him and he cried a little, but it was still so cute!! I was so excited! He probably won't do it again for awhile, that's what I hear happens often, but I was so glad he finally did it today:)

The past month has brought lots of changes for Jonah. He has developed even more of a personality in the past month; he laughs A LOT and smiles even more than before (if that's even possible). He has more fussy times than before too (which isn't always fun), but the happy and smiling times far outweigh those crabby times:) He has discovered new sounds he can make with his mouth and he has also discovered his toes and loves to pull his legs up and grab his toes. He is also starting to be able to sit a little bit on his own (he tips over a lot), but he's on his way! And then just today we discovered he has a tooth starting to poke through! We thought he has been teething but were unable to see a tooth or feel one, but now we can feel it and see it a little as well. He is growing up so fast!! He is just such an adorable and happy guy and I can't wait to see what the next month brings!!
