Ava At 6 Months

This last month has slipped away from me... Ava will be 7 months old next week!  Oh well, now is as good of a time as any I suppose to bring us up to date on her :)

Ava at 6 months...

At the Doc...

She loves mirrors... typical girl!

12lbs 11oz 

24.5 inches long

(probably more now since that was almost a month ago)

We are so in love with how perfectly petite she is!

Our little lady has reached some big milestones this last month!  And a lot of them happened within the same week!  She is getting so smart, so strong and is so hilarious!  She is such a happy baby and keeps us laughing everyday. 

Here are a few of the major things that have happened...

She now can roll from her back to her belly.  Something she has been working on for weeks, and then just one day, she figured it out!  However, once she gets to her belly, she can't remember how to get back to her back again! Something she's been doing for months!  Once on her belly, she just sits there and screams until someone helps her roll back over.  It's hilarious.

 She started holding her bottle all on her own.  I'm not quite sure how I feel about this one.  Does she think she's a big girl now or something?

We finally started her on solids, and let's just say, it's been a crazy ride.  She was NOT a fan at first, but over the last few weeks has been doing better.  She loves her cereal (oatmeal and whole wheat) but isn't too sure about the other things yet.  We had a rough couple of days with sweet potatoes that involved projectile vomiting, so we're staying away from those for now.  We'll see what the coming weeks bring as we introduce more new things!  Wish us luck!

 

  

One of the biggest things that happened for her just happened this last weekend.  She got her first tooth!  We discovered it on Mother's Day and I was shocked!  I knew that she had been teething for the last couple of months, but never would have thought that a little tooth would actually pop up so soon!!  Now all of her excessive fussiness lately makes sense :) We'll see how the rest follow!

Now, before I blow up this post with cute, random pictures (warning, there are A TON) I have to explain the following few photos...

A little quirky personality trait has developed over the last few weeks.  This girl, when concentrating on something, sticks her tongue out.  It is the most adorable thing ever and very difficult to catch a picture of.  But, I managed to snap a few :)

Here she is trying to get the tag on her book...

And here she is trying to get a little loop on one of the toys of her play gym... 

 

Could you die??  It is so funny!

We love this little girl and her darling personality!  She is truly one of a kind!  She has brought us more joy than we ever could have imagined and is definitely the light of our lives! 

 

I think it's safe to say that our world revolves around her.

And we wouldn't have it any other way :)
