We started her on rice cereal right at 4 months. She didn't really seem to care for it the first time so we gave her a week and tried again. This time she seemed to like it and we've been giving it to her ever since. She now gets rice cereal once in the morning at daycare and once in the evening. Sometimes she doesn't seem to want it at night though...she must be too full! We're planning to give her her first vegetable baby food on Christmas Eve because she'll be 6 months old then. Here's a video of her first taste of rice cereal.
Last weekend I tried having her sit up on her own and to my surprise she was able to do it. She's a bit wobbly as you can see from the video but she's been doing great!
I've noticed that Lexi is SO small compared to other babies! I am just now retiring some of her 0-3 month clothes, many of which she can actually still fit into and she's almost 6 months old! She fits into some of the 3-6 month clothing, but most of it is still too big on her. And the 6mo clothes...forget it, she's swimming in them! The good thing is that she's able to wear her clothes for longer. I think she'll probably be pretty petite unless she has a big growth spurt. All of her weight must be going straight to her cheeks!
I'm getting so excited for Christmas this year. I didn't go too crazy on gifts for Lex, but we did get her a few neat toys. I can't wait for her to open them, although she'll probably end up being more interested in the wrapping paper! She seems to love Christmas music and all the lights. I sing Jingle Bells to her and she just laughs and laughs! It's so funny!
