We Went Swimming in a Hopeless Place

Turns out, Ava HATES swimming. Which is weird because she loves the bathtub. It really is a shame because she looks supa fly in her suit.

We finally took her home and put her in the tub. She was happy then.

8 Months Old

Ava is getting so big. I seriously LOVE how chubby her cheeks are getting! We have loved this month...she gets more and more interactive and playful!

LIKES:
Fruit...way more than veggies. She loves a good fruit/oatmeal combo.
Itsy Bitsy Spider...It's probably because my voice is so awesome.
Blowing out her tongue
Jabbering
Sitting Up
Standing Up

DISLIKES:
Bed Time
Getting her face washed
Getting dressed...still
Playing with old toys
Holding still

New Tricks

Ava has learned some new tricks recently. It's pretty hilarious. She has learned to spit out her tongue and make "trumpet" noises. She is making new jabbering sounds and she has learned to sit up by herself. She is also really close to standing up and holding on to something by herself. We have had to lower her crib because I found her trying to pull herself out of bed. I can't get any of the videos to work, so here are some pictures instead.

I know she is too old for a binky...we're working on it.

This is how we find her each morning...usually she is holding on to the side trying to stand up.
