Five Month Update







Alexis is growing up so fast! Last week, all in one day, she started to reach out for toys while she was on her stomach, her head started peeling, and she started to dress in real clothes, not just onesies, on a more regular basis. She was in her jean overalls, and they are just the cutest things on her! She is pushing up on her legs all the time and always wanting to stand up.

She had her checkup on Friday and is doing well, although her doctor wants her to be gaining more weight, so she is now eating rice cereal twice a day. She started this morning, and I was expecting crying and wailing and an upset little girl, as all of the reading said, but she was actually very content and somewhat excited about a new experience and adapted really, really well, although inevitably there was more food on her face and bib than inside of her. She now weighs twelve pounds exactly and is getting so much more interactive! She rolls over whenever she wants to, and the doctor really wants us to work on her sitting up, hoping that she'll be able to do so on her own next month.
