getting closer...

She's now taking a few 'steps' then plopping back down onto her belly :-D she is also often getting right up onto her toes too, like she's about to start a sprint!

We have acheived forward propulsion! (sort of..)

Well, ok so it's more of a bellyflop at this point :-D but just this morning Alexis learnt to lift herself up onto her hands & knees, then push forward with her toes, thus propelling herself forwards! Unfortunately from that point onwards it gets a bit messy.. her hands are so firmly planted, that when she pushes forwards she just tips over onto her face... but I think thats pretty good for the ripe old age of 5 months & 1 week :-)
We are now taking bets as to when she will actually manage to crawl properly! Any guesses?? Leave a comment below :-)

New photos!

I've just uploaded a bunch more photos to our Flickr photo page, from the last couple of months, so check 'em out! :-D

5 months old

Well i've been very slack updating this over the last month, maybe its because I have been chasing a rolly-polly baby all over the place! She has really mastered the art of the roll, going from one end of the room to the other in no time, the only problem being that she can only roll in one direction.. so she gets to the edge of the room, then yells at me to turn her round again! She's really not too far off crawling now, because she can do a push-up so that she's on her hands & knees, but so far can only jiggle herself backwards... She's chewing on everything she can get her hands on, so we think teeth aren't far off as well. Her hair is quite blond now, but is slowly growing to cover up the bald patch that she rubbed on the back of her head. She's following after her dad at the moment, last night she ended up auditioning for an advert for Huggies nappies (sorry dad!), which was quite funny, but I think she's a bit little yet!

4.5 months old & rolling
