Though I can’t quite believe it, Alexandra is five months old today. We’re not sure how it happened because we certainly didn’t give her permission to grow so fast.

She’s enjoying eating solid foods. Thus far, apples and bananas* have been her favorites. We haven’t tried carrots, so perhaps she’ll continue the alphabetic enjoyment. (Granted, she hasn’t NOT liked avocados, pears, prunes, or sweet potatoes. It’s really degrees of liking.) She can sit up with assistance and can roll over from her front to her back. She’s also gotten quite good at grabbing things (namely my hair and Ian’s glasses). She babbling and drooling and overall really just an adorable baby.

Professional bear pic. Because she’s clearly a rock star.

Heh. I have his glasses. (Just like Daddy’s glasses.)

What you looking at?

*Editor’s note: While Alex may have very much liked her first taste of bananas last night, they don’t seem to be liking her back. We may need to put bananas on hold for a while. Very gassy–and unhappy–baby in the early morning / late night hours.
