Happy 1/2 Birthday Baby Girl



Holy sh** Ava is 6 months old!  Ok, I know I say this every month but boy has Miss Ava changed this past month.  She has made such strides and is coming into her own.  I'm loving it but Mason on the other hand is noticing his sister more and the fact that she needs us too.  This transition hasn't been easy on him (poor guy). Ava, on the other hand is OBSESSED with Mason and still can't keep her eyes off him.  I can't wait to watch their relationship flourish as Ave becomes more interactive and mobile.
Playing with her brother 

May 30th was officially the last time Ava was nursed.  She now takes 4 bottles (4- 6oz) a day and eats 3 meals a day.  She especially likes pears, squash and apples.  Ava likes the baby food version of bananas much better then actual bananas and is averaging a container of food per meal.  She takes 3 naps a day and is usually sleeping by 7pm.  She still isn't able to get her own pacifier at night so we usually have to make a couple trips to her nursery.  This month Ava officially learned to roll over from her stomach to back.  We also put her in bouncy seat for the first time (even though she still is a bit tiny for it).   She is scooting all over the place while playing on her play mat or on her back.  She is also cooing and or screaming more....she is so trying to talk to us or get some attention. Poor Ava girl is working hard on some teeth, she is more drooly than ever.  We are all hoping the teeth brake through soon to get her some relief.

Ava is so aware of the world around her; she is such a calm and happy baby.  I love snuggling her before I put her down in the crib at night and I love blowing on her belly to make her laugh.  Ava brings us such joy!!! She is so precious; words can't describe how full my heart is or how lucky I feel to have such healthy and beautiful children.  I hope they both feel the eminence amount of love we have for them.
She LOVES her feet!
