One month old

Noah just turned a month old yesterday, and time is rushing by. We've also been a fairly busy family lately. Last Sunday we celebrated in Austin, MN with John's Aunt Mary and family in honor of her 65th birthday. Then my Dad, Carol, and Destiny came to visit with us most of this past week. We've also had other friends stop by with meals and treats and are still feeling blessed beyond measuring by all of you!

Noah continues to do well. He tracks our faces now with his eyes and sometimes head, albeit slowly. He also is starting to smile somewhat responsively while he's awake; he has been smiling while drifting off to sleep for weeks now. His head control is also a little better, and he has already grown out of a onesie.

We also found out that two of John's cousins are expecting!! Congratulations to Paul and Gretchen and to Josh and Amy! We can't wait to meet your little ones, too.

In addition to photos, we're also uploading a small 1 minute video segment that we hope you will enjoy; this was taken a few days ago as Noah was falling asleep. It will probably take awhile to download...
