Avery at 8 Months

Avery is now pulling herself up on her toys, laundry baskets, and couches. I am sure that is not where it is going to end. Once she is standing she, of course, eventually falls and starts crying. She loves to feel her two bottom teeth with her tongue. It is so cute to watch her stick her tongue in and out and then back in again. She still army crawls every where. Avery has started to say da-da, but I am not jealous because I realize that it is just an easier sound to make. She weighs 17 pounds and is wearing 9 month clothing. She is starting to eat more solid food like little pieces of bread, rice crackers, graham crackers, and bananas. Her sleeping is sporadic. One night its 5-6 hours of sleep the next night not so much. Her giggle is the cutest sound we have ever heard. We are constantly trying to get her to laugh. We love her so much.

7 Months and Two Teeth!

Avery makes the funniest faces. They are hard to catch on camera, but I have gotten lucky and caught a few.
She likes to purse her lips together and then blow air and saliva everywhere.


She is such a good army crawler. Only once has she gotten on her hands and knees and made an attempt to crawl normally.


I had to force these shots of her teeth. She started to get her teeth the week before Christmas. She is getting both of her bottom front teeth. She has only had a slight fever and a runny nose during this whole process and she has rarely been fussy.
