5 months

June 29

Everyone always comments on how sweet Alex is, and I couldn't agree more.  She is such a sweet addition to our family and is never lacking in attention, whether from Makenzie, myself, Mitch or even Trigger.  We just can't get enough of her!

Sucking on her bottom lip!

Alex...

rolls all over the place.

gets onto her hands and knees all the time.

she's a bit anxious to be moving more.

doesn't like to sit up.

she doesn't like being in the bumbo for too long.

is still a thumb sucker.

and I'm still hoping she stops.

however, her feet are a good substitute for the thumb.

is still wearing size 2 diapers.

they are fitting much better.

still sleeps well,

but for the last little while she has been waking up to eat between 5 and 6.

I don't like it.

but it could be worse.

is eating rice cereal.

she's starting to pick up eating from a spoon.

sometimes she's a little too anxious and tries to grab the spoon.

formula was also introduced into her diet.

she didn't poop for a few days, but has been regular since.

she has done great switching back and forth from breastmilk and formula.

she gets really excited when she sees a bottle.

loves to hold the bottle herself.

loves bath time.

she splashes like crazy!

is so easy-going.

she can sleep anywhere.

even with noisy kids playing around her.

her baby blues are sticking around.

and what beautiful eyes they are!

loves to watch tv.

sometimes it just mesmerizes her.

she's still wearing 3-6 month clothes.

they are still big on her.

she's still just so itty bitty!

and is the cutest itty bitty thing you ever did see!

That big toe must taste good!

Happy girl!
