Week 26

Alex sitting up all by herself!!

Week 26 Updates:

1. Alex is getting really good at sitting up all by herself! Her balance has greatly improved and she can almost always catch herself before she falls over. She has sat by herself for at least 15 minutes without falling over! Good job Alex!

2. She has had her first cold. Poor Alex. I think that she's finally starting to kick it but she still has a little cough and a runny nose.

3. Her hand-eye coordination is really good. She reaches for objects (like her bottle and Gir) that she wants and she can pick up her toys really good. 

4. She is starting to fall asleep (without us rocking her) on her own much better. It usually takes her about 15 minutes of talking or crying before she can fall asleep, but then she is out! She now sleeps from 8pm-6am with only minor waking up in the morning. As soon as I usually give her a pacifier she will go right back to sleep.

5. She tried carrots (baby food) for the first time this week and did a decent job eating it (although at one point she grabbed the spoon and flung carrot all over. It landed on me, her, her chair, the counter, and i'm sure more places that i'm yet to find).

6. She has finally come back to Utah time after our fun trip in Michigan!

7. She loves looking at baby books!! Hopefully this means that she will be a good reader like Mommy!!

8. Alex is a happy, beautiful baby and we are so lucky to have her in our lives!!

9. She is turning 6 months old this Saturday!!! Where has the time gone??
