7 months......(a little late in posting)

Next week Ava will be 8 months old, so yes I am a little late in posting her 7 month pictures, but in my defense it has been a busy month in our household!! Steve and I both started back at work days after returning from Hawaii and have had several issues with our laptop, which made it even more challenging to update the blog. We finally gave in last week and bought a new computer!

Ava is growing so quickly and changing every day!! Here are some things she has been up to in her 7th month of life.

- Sleeping 10 - 12 hours a night (with the exception of a few nights a week)
- Weight?? She hasn't been weighed in a while, but we are guessing somewhere around 16 pounds. She is barely fitting into her 6 month clothes and has started wearing 9 month pajamas this week.
- Rolling around like crazy! (Videos to come!!)
- Teething! (Her first tooth started to pop through tonight)
- Loving the homemade food that mom finally got around to making. I was very hesitant about this at first since I didn't think I would have the time nor the patience, but I am so glad that I did because she loves food so much more when mamma makes it!
- Trying to crawl. She tries to get up on all fours and then usually collapses and resorts back to rolling around to get from point A to point B.
- Scooting (backwards). Can't quite figure out how to move forward, but you can tell she is working on it.
- She loves to just roll around on the floor, play with her toys, and try to grab her hairy brother Bruce. I finally gave in and bought a jumparoo, since her new found mobility makes it hard to walk away for even a second.

- And I almost forgot the most important thing that has happened in her 7th month.....she is finally getting some hair!! It is VERY SHORT and VERY BLONDE, so you can't quite see it in the pictures, but it is definitely starting to appear.

Here are some pictures from this past month.

Goofing around with daddy before bed. 

Ava loves to feed herself!

I just couldn't resist posting this adorable picture. Nothing more adorable than a cute naked baby before bath time. 

It seems that she loves turtles just as much as her mom! (And don't worry I disinfected her feet like crazy after this)

The petting zoo!!

Play date with Asher 

Practicing sitting up with daddy spotting just in case. 

This was going to be a great picture until she decided to lunge forward and attempt to grab the camera from mamma. It's a good thing dad was nearby for support!

Chilling in my chair....

Apparently the stuffed animals taste better than they look
