My baby girl is 6 months old and absolutely precious.

I can't believe that Ava is 6 months old. It has gone by sooooo fast. I need to finish her nursery before she is too big for it. She loves to play on the floor and put everythng in her mouth. She is not even trying to crawl. Its so funny to compare Mia and Ava becasue Mia was so determined and was crawling at six months. Ava is so layed back and just chills. She could watch her sister all day. I wish she loved me like she loves Mia. It's really awesome to see her face light up when she hears or sees her sister. If she is upset at physical therapy or the grocery, I just ask Mia to talk to her and she is happy.

So my big girl is thinning out which is a good thing. Chunky is only cute for so long :) She weighed 16 pound 12 onces and is 27 inches tall. She looked great. Because she didn't move her left arm at all for the first two months of her life, she is considerably weaker on that side and is going to take longer to crawl. We are just thrilled she is moving her arm so well and getting stronger. We go to physical therapy once a week and she hates it, but its getting better. The girls are great, but she just does not like them to mess with her. My plan was to put her in a MDO once a week about this time, but I think I will wait a few months. I thought it would be easier to put her in at six months you know second child and all but mommy is not quite ready. I'll keep her away from the snotty babies for now:)

Ava schedule at this point:
- she eats 7 to 8 ozs 4 x day
- cereal and fruit in the morning around 7:15
-fruit and vegtable at night @ 6:00pm
-takes 2 naps a day and 12 hours at night
- she loves bath time, her toys, and her big sister

Summer flew by

Wow! I can't believe it is September already. This past summer really did fly by once we went moved to Mobile. Michael was off the first two weeks of July and then started work. So he worked alot at the end of July and beginning of August, but over the past 17 days he has worked 3 days so that his been really nice. We took a five day trip to the beach for my friend Katherine's wedding and now we are in Atlanta for the Alabama Virginia Tech game. Michael got us a hotel room almost a year ago for this weekend. We just assumed we could find childcare and that he would be off. Luckily it all worked out and we are here. Its so nice to be able to sleep in and lay in bed as long as we want. That is my favorite part about going on trips with just the two of us. Thanks Aunt Kori and Kakki for watching our girls. Hopefully everyone is having a blast.
