Alex is 5 months old – and started daycare on the same day!  She is approximately 13lbs 13oz and wearing 6month and 6-9month clothes but out of the 3-6month for the most part.

She is working on rolling, she can get from her belly to her back and from her back almost to her bellly (hasn’t figured out how to move her arm out from under her yet).  She likes tummy time now and usually only rolls because she’s trying to reach something.  If she’s on her belly she tries to scoot herself by kicking her feet against the floor rather than trying to roll.  She’s no where near crawling but I do see her scooting around on her belly soon (and getting frustrated!).

She loves to hang out naked, it’s her very favorite thing and it’s so much easier to get her to laugh or giggle when she’s naked and you tickle her face or belly with a soft blanket.  She loves to try to grab you with her feet and she tries to investigate your face with her hands (usually daddy’s face in the morning and she’s quite violent about it) 🙂

She can fit in the jumparoo without anything under her feet now (toes just touching) and loves to bounce and explore.  She also loves standing if you’ll help her and playing that way.  She’s obsessed with electronics and technology, if there is a cell phone or computer (or tv) anywhere in the room, she will crane her neck to try to see it 🙂

And finally the pictures.  It was harder to get her to smile because I did these later in the day on Sunday instead of morning when she’s at her best but I got some fun ones!

There’s a smile!

Always trying to eat anything and everything!
