7 months

I think she is starting to resemble Ryan.
His hair line & color
His ears
His chin
Little Bentley nose (Ryan's mothers side)
My eyes & color
My lips
Villa frown & brow line
...and as Ryan says, my attitude

So hard to get a good picture. She is always moving or watching the dogs.

Clothes size - 9 months
Shoe size - 1 some 2
Diaper size: 3
Bottles per day - 4 8oz bottles
Solids per day - 2 servings of fruits, 2 servings of veggies & 2 servings of cereal. This month we have added sweet corn casserole, corn & sweet potatoes and her fav veggies puffs/cheese puffs to her variety of solids/snacks
Health - has been great (knock on wood). A stuffy nose here & there, fever due to teething, thank goodness no diaper rash or ear infection.
Routine - finally we have a great weekly routine. The weekends we just load up & go. Ava has adapted very well to our active schedule

We have packed up all her 0-6 months clothes & all her baby toys
Her hutch (top piece of changing table) finally came in (it was on back order FOREVER). It looks great in her room
She is sitting up so well. All by herself, no assistance.
Still not interested in crawling. Just extends her arms & lifts her chest off the ground. She will roll if she want to get some where or make grunts until her human taxi picks her up.
Will only go backwards in her walker
Loves, loves bath time
Loves to go on walks/runs in her stroller
She is a great little shopper
Has 2 bottom front teeth. We think she is getting an upper front tooth.
She is loud…boy can she be loud. She will just babble & scream
- Ryan swears she has said da-da. I choose not to believe it
Thinks her daddy is so funny
Still a mommy's girl
Very interested in her surrounds, loves to explore new things
- at restaurants, shopping, etc. will just stare at everything & anyone
- try's to grab anything you are holding, eating, etc.
Is sleeping so much better. I just miss seeing her in the mornings :(
- is a wild sleeper. All over her crib.
- Her angel monitor has gone off once or twice & scared the crap out me, but when I check on her its because she is all-the-way in the corner of her crib. So the monitor can not detect her breathing.

I'll have to admit. This age is so much easier & very, very enjoyable. I'm just obsessed with that little girl. I love to see her explore & learn new things ever day. I look forward to each month. Each new milestone & memory with our sweet love bug.
