Happy 6 month birthday!

Alexandria is six months old today!! Time has flown by and we have been loving every minute of her. :) She doesn't have her six month appointment until Monday (so no new stats until then), but I wanted to let you know what she is up to these days! Lexi can sit up all by herself for about five seconds (that is the longest she has made it, but we work on it every day). She rolls over from her front to her back easily (goodbye tummy time!), and a couple of days ago she just rolled over from her back to her front! She was having a hard time getting up over her cute little shoulder, but she made it! Lexi is incredibly easy to make smile (unless you have a camera, then she still gives that "deer in the headlights" look because of the stupid flash)-all she requires is someone looking at her and she will freely give you smiles. She loves to dance and/or be sung to. She loves to talk (I have NO idea where she would get that from....) and will even just open and close her mouth with no sound coming out just to look like she is talking. :) Her favorite person in the whole wide world is Kaden. Seriously, even I can't make her laugh as easily as he does. She moves around the house a LOT! She kicks and rolls and scoots and is trying so hard to keep up with big brother. :) She likes baby cereal when you add applesauce and we have yet to try real baby food with her, but that will be this weekend so I will let you know how that goes! Hopefully she is the opposite of Kaden and is a little piggy! :) I would LOVE a child that loves to eat! She still fits into 0-3 month onesies, but I put them all into storage since she is now officially six months old and it is pretty sad that she fits into clothes not meant for her. She is in 3-6 month clothes and will be for a while (unless there is a huge growth spurt). Her feet are still incredibly small and her newborn shoes are just now starting to fit. See how she's grown....

6 months old!!

I had to post this pic of her smiling. She loves my sister's exersaucer! (Thanks Suz!)

She even naps in it! Haha....when you're tired, you're tired, y'know? :)

Oh, yeah, on May 27th we had Lexi's ears pierced!! I was worried about how she would look with them, but she looks adorable! She did just fine when the lady pierced her ears, even better than she does with shots (which made me feel less guilty). Her ears are pretty flat against her head, so you can't get a good frontal pic of both earrings...
See what I mean? Cute little face and a bit of the ears, but not enough....so you get this:

TA-DA! What do you think? I forgot that you couldn't change the earrings at ALL for at least six weeks (I just thought she always had to be wearing some, but not the same ones). So, when the six weeks is up, we will for sure get her some cuter ones that sparkle. :)
