8 months!

Here she is! She claps her hands for pat-a-cake now, she can climb stairs very well, (thanks Daddy for showing me how!) and she takes baths in the big people tub...yeah!!!

Movin' & Groovin'

Sorry for not posting in a while, but it is difficult to find enough time to sit down at the computer while she is getting into EVERYTHING!!! She pulls herself up on anything she thinks is sturdy...the couch, my feet, a laundry basket, a cat...it is so much fun!! But I think the last photo shows her personality best!!!

Cutie pie

Just Ava, being her cute self!!

Trying new things

I love cereal puffs!

Cucumbers are good!

I could get used to this pop stuff!

OK, so she really didn't get to actually TRY the pop or the pizza, but she had a great time learning about the containers they come in! A pizza box is fun to crush and a pop can is a great teether!

Thanksgiving

Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Scott

We had a wonderful dinner at Grandma and Great Grandma's house. Here are a few pictures of the family hanging out together. I am going to have to try really hard to get a picture of Grandma...she always seems to miss out on camera time!

Seven Months Old

See my teeth?!


"Grumpy face"

Ava is seven months old today and no matter how many times I say it, I still can't believe how fast the time goes by! She has two teeth now, (you can see them in the first two pictures!) she is trying her very hardest to crawl (but only gets one or two "steps" in before she gives up), she feeds herself cereal puffs and eats just about any baby food you give her. She talks and screeches constantly and is just a cuddle bug. We enjoy her so much!! What did we do without her? I have to add that Nick is upset that I posted these pictures as she has food on her shirt. Sorry Ava!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Ava & Great-Grandma

Here is our little banana!
