five months old! Alix's accomplishments!

Alix is already five months old! i cant believe it!she's growing so fast! i will have her five month pics in a few days, but till then i want to let you in on a few milestones she's hit this last week or so :)

she can sit up all on her own! she's taken a few spills and landed on her head a couple of times, but all in all she's done amazingly well!


she has rolled over from her tummy to her back a few times-- twice at 2 months old, then regularly starting a couple of weeks ago... she just learned how to roll from her back this week! i laid her down on her play mat and looked away for a minute and when i looked back i found this... so i missed the actual roll, but i put her on her back again and she did it again for me :) since then she's been rolling over and back (mostly for erika- she likes her nose lol)



the pediatrician told us at her 4 month visit to start giving Alix a sippie cup at 5 months, so i gave it to her wednesday and it was a much bigger hit than i thought it would be! she loved having a little bit of mama's milk from it! mostly i think she just liked how it felt on her poor little gums (she's teething)



we are so blessed to have such an amazing little girl! just around the corner: crawling and walking! i dont think i'm ready to chase after her, but watching her grow is so fun and exciting!

fourth of july 2010 :)

erika and austin are visiting for a few weeks, but i will blog about that later... this one is just to show off my adorable little patriot! happy birthday america!

we had a good time setting off fire works! they're loud and hot and pretty! and alix loved them.. till she got tired and fell asleep. and it was cold and pouring outside when we were trying to light the wet fuzes and it didnt work too well so we let them dry out and lit them up today lol

anyways here's cutie alix!

four month pics

professional pics are expensive and doing them myself is so much more fun!

rice cereal for the first time

Alix turned 4 months on the 16th and her doctor gave us the okay to start giving her solids so we went and got her some rice cereal. she didnt really know what to think!

new toys from grammy and first time sitting up alone

Alix is so lucky to have both her grandmas so close to us here! her grammy tammy always brings us awesome toys
the pics here of her sitting up are the first time she sat up on her own :)

a day in the sun

we took alix to the park last weekend when it was sunny out and it was really nice. she had her first experience with grass and she thought the duckies were pretty funny :)she didnt like the sun much tho, but she'll have to get used to it for when we move back to az!
