Alexis is 1/2 year old! How is that even possible? When I was pregnant with her, I remember wondering if I'd ever feel like she belonged with us all along. I mean, there is a whole 5-year gap between her and Kendall. Well, now that she's here, I know she was meant to be a part of our family all along. And the kids are sooooo good to her.
This month, Alexis started eating other types of solids, like sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, and squash.
She's also really getting into everything. She is so curious and wants to touch and taste everything. I have to be careful about what the kids give her, because she puts it straight into her mouth. I've already had to finger-sweep her mouth multiple times because she found paper and was eating it.
She has also mastered sitting on her own, although sitting in the cart is a little trickier. She got her first pigtails this month, too.
She got her first 2 bottom teeth, only 3 days apart, and likes to bite down on stuff. Her babble is getting cuter and cuter. Lots of bababa, bobobobo, bebebebe, and she even said mama once.
Alexis loves to be outside, play peek-a-boo with her carseat cover, and rip off grass (and try to eat it). She also really enjoys pinching me for some reason. Actually, I think it calms her down. She does it a lot when I nurse her and when she's tired. She often falls asleep messing with my ear or pinching my nose, or pinching the back of my arms (that one hurts a lot). And when I tell her to stop it, she laughs at me. Yep, she's a little stinker, if I haven't already said it.
