Rice Cereal

A couple days ago, we started giving Alexis rice cereal. She seems to like it and is getting the hang of eating very quickly. She is so funny, especially when she starts getting full and begins to play. She's such a big girl already! Here are some pictures and videos:

*She likes her spoon*
*Silly girl*
*Cereal all over mouth*

*This is when she was starting to get full*

*She even had fun during clean-up*

5 Months

Alexis turned 5 months on March 6th and we discovered that she is teething! Two weeks ago, we found her first bottom tooth and last week, we saw the second bottom tooth just broke the surface. Luckily, she's not fussy or crying. She's just chewing on everything. Her smile is even more adorable with her little teeth. She's also trying really hard to crawl. Alexis still wont take a bottle, but I gave her a sippy cup and she understands how to hold it. She just needs to figure out how to sip correctly. Whenever we drink from a water bottle, Alexis wants it. She loves to chew and play with plastic water bottles. We even let her take a couple sips from it and she does so well. I am so in awe with how fast she is growing and learning. She's so much fun and so smart!!! We also assembled her Babee Tenda chair and she loves to sit in it and play. It is so handy because it has wheels. I can take her into the kitchen with me when I cook. Or the bedroom when I fold laundry. She also pays a lot more attention to the Your Baby Can Read video when she sits in it. Here are some pictures and a video:
