Waffles for Dad’s Birthday

Ava continues to be a good eater. In the last few weeks she’s expanded her range of foods to include green beans, avocado, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and oatmeal. And yet she shows even more interest in seeing what we are eating. Scott made waffles (with Ava’s waffle maker courtesy of great aunt Judy) this morning, we decided to let her have one….her review: excellent!

The waffles….

The tasting….

And earlier this morning with one of her favorite toys….

6 Months / 26 Weeks / 182 Days

For those of you counting at home….today Ava is officially 6 months old. And what an amazing 6 months it has been…in those 6 months she has gone from a 5 lb 11 oz skinny little newborn to a 13 lb 9 oz happy interactive baby. Ava is such a little “foodie” – she loves her squash and cereal. She’s developing more – today she was really good at balancing herself while sitting.

And now the star of the show….

Ava at 2 days old.

And with the same stuffed toy at 182 days old.

Here she is hanging with her pal Chase….both of them still in bed of course.

And getting ready for a celebratory dinner in her high chair…

New Year’s Resolutions

Ava has set only a few resolutions for the new year: to continue her development, help keep us on our toes, and be fun and cute. She’s off to a good start already…

Lounging around with Chase

Trying to feed herself (or chew on the spoon…or both)

Helping Mom do some crunches

Whew…all that work makes you tired….time for a little rest!
