8 months

Here we are once again, another month down and only 4 to go until the big 1st birthday.  It seems surreal.  So our big milestones since last month are:  getting her first tooth, eating some people food (rolls when we go out to eat), sitting up without worrying she will fall down, sleeping in her crib at nap time (this was huge and a ton of work, but we did it.), giving kisses, sleeping on her tummy at night, the saddest one- giving up breastfeeding (she weaned herself and it is just so sad).  I am sure there are lots more, but those are just a few.  She is so much fun and everyday she just learns so much.  She is not quite crawling, but maybe by next month.  We were supposed to go to the Dr.'s today, but the appointment got canceled so we think she weighs around 14 pounds or so.  Still so small, but that is what happens when you would rather play than eat.  

Avery screaming

Here is a quick video of Avery screaming.  She thinks she is so funny now that she has discovered her voice.  Anyways, we think the screaming is cute for now, but I am sure later it will get old.  Enjoy.  

Such a ham

So Avery likes to smile for the camera now.  The past couple of times I have taken pics of her she poses.  I just thought she looked like such a big girl on the couch.  She was fussy (teething, I can feel one coming in on the bottom), so I put on American Idol for her.  She really liked Adam's song.  She was captivated.  So cute.  Gotta love my ham.  

Feels like summer

Trying to eat the camera, as usual

Hmmmm...

Love this one

Always trying to pet the dog.  

Avery and Molly at the park.  Molly is 5 1/2 months younger and is basically the same size as her.  Actually a 1/2 inch longer!

For the past two days it has been in the 90's here!  So we just thought we would show come cute pics from the past two days of being outside.  

Fun Stuff

Although we have had the high chair since before she was born, we finally felt she was ready to use it.  She looks like such a big girl in it and loved it.  We also got her some blocks for the floor so she can learn to crawl.  She was slipping and hitting her face on the hard wood.  Hopefully this will help.  

Easter

Today we went to our annual Easter function at Wes' grandparents house.  It was a beautiful day out (76 degrees).  We had a smaller celebration than normal, but it was very nice.  Here are just a few cute pics from the day.  Avery was very well behaved.  :)  Happy Easter everyone.  

Basically 7 months

Hey everyone,

Avery will be 7 months old on Sunday!  That sounds so old, like she is not a baby anymore.  She is just so cute.  Here are just a few pics of her sitting up.  She is enjoying her new found freedom with sitting up.  She can now get to her toys much easier.  We are really excited to go to Texas so Avery can meet her cousins and my sister for the first time, only 7 more weeks!
