Happy Half Birthday Lexi

I can't believe that I have a 6 month old baby!  My, how much she's grown in such a short time.  It seems like Lexi always hits her milestones exactly when she is supposed to.  Here are a few new things Lexi loves to do:

-She loves to talk and make noises and has started stringing together consonant and vowels (dadada, bababa)
-Right at 6 months, she went from being able to sit with support to sitting all by herself.  Now she loves to reach for her toys and pull herself up and down.

-Lexi cracks herself up when she throws things on the ground and they crash, when she makes her toys make noises or when music is playing.  She laughs and squeals while she plays.
-This month, Lexi mastered rolling and went from just rolling from her tummy to back, to rolling ALL over the place.  She also kicks her feet and spins herself on her tummy in a circle.

-She's got quite a reach on her...it's AMAZING how far she can reach for toys without being able to crawl.
-She isn't crawling, but she's attempting to squirm by putting her face down and booty up in the air and pushing off with her feet.
-She started solid foods.  So far she loves apples, pears, bananas and likes sweet potatoes.  She is still up in the air about squash and she HATES carrots.  (She went on a strike and wouldn't eat solid food for a day and a half after I introduced them)

-She is still a great sleeper and tends to always sleep for right at 8 hours.
-She gives us open mouth kisses, especially when she is very excited to see us.

We have also made a major decision in our household this month.  We have decided to start cloth diapering Lexi.  It's something I've always been interested in, but wasn't sure about because of working full time and sending Lexi to daycare.  Right now, we have started diapering part time (in the evenings and on weekends) and it is going great!  I love my little chunky butt in her cute cloth diaper covers!  This will end up being a BIG money saver for us, and I will feel so much better doing our part to go green!  I hate the feeling of throwing hundreds of dollars down the toliet on disposable diapers.
