Alexis' World of Wonder...

My little girl is half a year old already! It seems like her first year is just flying by and there is nothing I can do to slow it down. I took her to the pediatrician the other day and she is weighing 13lb, 4oz and is 25 1/2 inches long. She's still on the petite side, only in the 5th percentile, but is steadily growing. I'm starting her on baby food soon so that should help her gain weight a little faster! Her milestones these last 3 months have been minimal, but nevertheless, she is becoming her own person more and more everyday. Recently she has started to laugh when being tickled. It's so funny because at first it sounds like she is getting ready to cry, and then her face lights up and you realize she is cracking up. She is also starting to roll side to side and turn around when she is having "tummy time". She especially loves eating her toes too when she is just chilling in her crib or on the floor. For Christmas she got an activity center she sits in and one she can lay under and loves them both! She spends quite a few hours during the day playing in them. She also loves to watch her big brothers in action. There is such a special little bond there and I look forward to seeing that strengthen as they get older. With how demanding she is now with me, I am going to assume soon she will have her brothers wrapped around her little pinky soon too! At her 6 month appointment, Austin already freaked out when the nurse gave her some shots. After the last poke Alexis started crying and Austin said to the nurse "umm Nurse, you REALLY hurt her!". Already such love!
