Try, Try Again!

Lexi has learned a new, dangerous trick.. how to pull herself up! This is all she does all day long now. She'll pull herself up and just stand there until she falls or I go pull her away. When she falls she gets up and tries again. The first couple days of doing it she was falling all the time.. very wobbly and just couldn't hold on for very long. She got a few bumps and scratches on her head. :( But now she can stand for minutes at a time and not do anything but stand up and look around or eat what she's holding on to. I can't leave the room for more than a few seconds now since she can move so fast and gets into trouble in a jiffy. I definitely was not expecting this so soon! These videos are some of her first attempts..


So today is Lexi's 6 month birthday! We took her to the doctor for her check up and she weighed 15 1/2 lbs(50th percentile) and 27 inches long(90th percentile). The doctor was impressed with her skills and said she's very advanced for her age. Here are a few random pictures from this past week.. Playing Call of Duty with dad.. She climbed up onto her changing table and got stuck. She wasn't very happy! Lexi was really fussy after her shots today so I sat her down to watch TV and she was out 2 minutes later. On a side note.. Lexi makes a really great horse noise.


Wow, I think I'm done with blogging for a while. I now understand why some people don't update very often. This takes WAY too much time!!
