7 months...seriously?!

Flavs is 7 months old and I can't believe it! She is the world's cutest/busiest/silliest baby! She loves to talk to people she knows (it usually comes out in squeals and little chirps), growl at people she doesn't know (yes, she growls), and she loves to talk to herself. She usually talks herself to sleep. Apparently, talking wears you out.

Yes, she sleeps holding her legs...who doesn't?

She also loves to stand up. She grabs on to someones hands and pulls herself up and just stand there. Blegh. I think she needs a new hobby...one that doesn't require me to sit there for 30 minutes helping her stand up.

Best invention EVER. You lock your iPod in the case and the babies can't stick it in their mouths or drool on it but they can still play games on there. Neat!

She has started bouncing herself when she gets excited (you can see a video of that on facebook). She loves vegetables and bananas.
She is ALWAYS on the go. Seriously, she doesn't stop moving. Unless Baby Einstein is on, in which case, you get this:

We have loved getting to know this sweet little baby and we love how fun she is! 

Visiting Erica and her sweet babies, Lilly and Bethany. Out of 50 pictures, this is the only decent one. Turns out, it's tricky getting 3 chillins to hold still and look at the camera.

Ava's 6 Month Update

I can't believe my Flava is 6 months old already! It seriously has gone by way too fast! I'm not sure what her stats are because we haven't had her appointment yet. Here are some of her likes and dislikes:
Likes:
Sweet Potatoes
Mommy
Playing with her Binky (not actually sucking it...taking it in and out, switching hands...)
Rolling over both ways. Seriously, this girl is a machine. Once she starts, she can't stop.
Sitting up. She is almost at the point where she can do it by herself with no support.
Peek-a-boo
Bath time
Little cousins who run around
Baby Einstein
Being held and cuddling
Watching mommy do Zumba (I can't tell if she's laughing because she's amused, or if she thinks I look stupid)

Dislikes:
Peas
Peas
Peas
Seriously, she HATES peas
Going to bed
Having her hair done
Getting dressed

Pooping
Socks
Loud noises
When mommy leaves the room


We love watching her grow and develop, but it makes me sad to see her getting so big so fast. I miss my little newborn!
Here are some cute pictures of Flava. I'm still trying to figure out how to upload videos.

Love This Baby

First Time's a Charm....NOT

We gave Ava cereal for the first time. She had the typical reaction and gagged at first. The following succession of pictures shows "The Tale of the Cereal"...

Trying it for the first time....

Nast...Nasty....NASTY!

Mom saying, "For reals, eat it...NOM NOM NOM"

Mom giving up and giving her a bottle.

We also were able to finally get a ponytail to stick in Ava's hair. I think it's hilarious...I might keep it around.

There Ain't No Party Like a King Family Party!

For New Years we went to P-town to live it up King style. If you think I'm a wack-a-doo, imagine 4 King girls combined...now that's a party. We played a lot of Just Dance 3...we are awesome dancers.

We did a white elephant gift exchange which was awesome. A few of the awesome gifts included:
1 - Real men have chest hair shirt
2 - A framed picture of my dad that says "What Would Mike Do?"
3 - A box of pads with a picture of an eye drawn on them...it was an ipad.
4 - And of course, who wouldn't want a limited edition set of Williams bobble heads?

 Spencer was lucky enough to get the whole collection.

Grandpa and Ava. You can't see it, but he's wearing an Angry Birds band-aid...it's gangsta!

Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian.

I think Ava hates any holiday. She hated Halloween...and Christmas was not her favorite. She especially hated Santa. She screamed as soon as he held her. Then he gave her a candy cane. Thanks Santa...as soon as he handed it to her (before we could interfere) she shoved the cane in her mouth and gagged herself. LOVELY. Other than that, Christmas was the diggity. We got to spend it with the Lott family and it was so much fun. They even let us sleep in a little bit (7:30...seriously...it's a record.)
Ava got a pretty sweet haul. Among her favorites, a pink sock monkey, her Baby Magic Bullet, her walker, and cereal.

John got me a shake weight. I think he was pretty tire of the jiggidy-jig flabbing about on my arms. Just kidding. I think he was sick of hearing me complain about it and wishing there was something I could do about it. It's pink...not the flab, the shake weight.

We also got matching BSU gear. Go Broncos!

I hope everyone had an awesome holiday season. We love this time of year and love the spirit that we feel. Merry Christmas!

What....the.....What.

I have a 5 month old. Seriously....this is nuts. Time is going by way to fast. Good thing she gets cuter every day or I would have a reeeeaaalllly hard time dealing with the quick changes.
