Alexis at 7 Months

Here are some fun pictures of Alexis during month seven. She is getting so big.

She loves feeding herself. She enjoys sweet potatoes, yellow squash, peas and prunes. 

She also loves oatmeal with tofu

She is now 8 months. 

Sleep

On July 9, 2015 Alexis spent her first night in her bedroom. For the past few weeks she has been napping in her room. Her first night was filled with mixed emotions. I miss having her in our room. She is growing up so quickly. But it was nice for us to all get a good night sleep. 

Here are a few pictures of her room.

Here she is sleeping with her stuffed animals. 

Alexis at Six Months

Alexis had so many firsts and made so many changes in her sixth month it is amazing.  Here are some of the highlights.

She met the rest of her grandparents.  Grandpa Greg, Grandpa Bob, Grandma Sherron and Grandma Andrea.

She flew for the first time and did amazing.

She is able to completely roll over--front to back and back to front. No more leaving her on the bed or floor for a second to do something. 

She is able to put her foot in her mouth.  Yes we are so proud of this accomplishment.

She started eating solid foods. So far she likes bananas, sweet potatoes and yellow squash. She is not a fan of rice cereal.

She went in the pool for the first time and loved it.  She really enjoys being in the water and playing with her pool toys.

She is able to sooth herself to sleep.  She does great going to bed--she is usually asleep within ten minutes. She is also napping in her bedroom.  In the past she would only nap in her stroller so we ran a lot of errands.  Now it is nice to have her sleep in bed and get some things done around the house--or just relax and read.

Sleeping with bunny. Don't worry I moved her:)

Here are some other cute pictures that are not in any other blogs this month.

California Visit

Our summer vacation was a trip to California to introduce Alexis to our friends and family. We had a great visit and Alexis was a perfect traveler. 

At the airport in Houston. Getting ready for her first flight. 

Alexis enjoyed waving to everyone as they got on the plane. She was great on the plane. 

We arrived on Wednesday night. We had dinner with Michelle and Dan at our hotel. We didn't take any pictures--so unlike us. 

Thursday morning we visited Allen's Mom. Grandma Andrea was so excited to meet Alexis. 

I met my friends for lunch while Allen and Dan had lunch.

On Friday morning we went back to visit Grandma Andrea. 

For lunch we met with my cousin Diane, James and Rich. Diane gave Alexis the book Good Night Moon. She is enjoying it. She also received a super cute dress. Thank you Diane

Allen and James. We miss the CA ocean. 

Bev and Mark met us in our hotel room so they could spend time with Alexis. She was great. 

Friday night we met with some family and friends for a potluck dinner. Thank you for the welcome sign Michelle.

Alexis looks a little happier here. This was early in the night. 

We met Sheri and her family for lunch

Allen's cousins came over for a visit and gave Alexis a lot of nice clothes. We can't wait until she can wear them.

On our way to LA we stopped in Thousand Oaks to have lunch with Allen's cousin Linda. 

We spent the night in LA and flew home the next day.
