All The Hype

Ava is such a BIG girl!!

My dear Ava is growing so quickly!! We went to the doctor this past week and she weighs 16 lbs. already! She is 5 months and 2 weeks old and is fitting in 12 months clothing (mind you that whoever decided on the sizes for infant clothing must have had a runt in the litter as the sizes almost never turn out to be true to age)!

It doesn't help that I am putting in 30 hour work weeks at my new job so the time just flies by! It could be worse though... I could have to work outside of our home!!

So many new things are happening with her. She is sitting up without supporting herself now. She can't get in an upright position from laying, but she can sit up very well without any support and play with toys. She is rolling all over the place, scoots on her head sometimes, and last night she discovered that she can rock back and forth on her hands and knees! Mom (aka Mamae) said last night, "She will be crawling by the time she is 6 months!"

I'll be posting pictures much more often now as my baby is reaching all these milestones (quite early, I must say - not that it means anything) all of a sudden! I may also have some from Ashley's wedding to post after today. Here are a few to share!




She eats at the dinner table now (once a day, the rest is milk still)!



That smile makes me melt.


She isn't so big here. :) She fits in my new diaper bag!

(P.S. Michelle C., I already got one so don't worry about sending pics! Thank you so much for your kindess to share!)

Hey Court, just in case you are wondering... "Amber" a.k.a MaryBeth is Michelle's sister. So one of her nieces is also my niece!
