Trying new things

I think I am ready for this, I am a big girl now!

What is that stuff Mom? I'm not so sure I wanna do this now!

Alright, let me try the stuff....It better be good!

Hmm...this stuff doesn't taste like Mommy's milk! Not so sure if I like this yet!

So here is a photo opt of Ava's first time trying rice cereal.She got a couple bites in but then thought it would be fun to try to blow bubbles when it was in her mouth, so more ended up on her then in her! I'm not sure that she even swallowed any of it. I think we are going to wait a little longer before we introduce it to her on a daily basis, as she seems satisfied with just milk now. It was pretty cute to watch her try this stuff out, but we will see if it works better around 5 months!

Put another notch on her belt!

Wow! I can't believe the time has come again to post her monthly birthday! 4 months old today! She was such a good girl yesterday at her 4 month apt as well. She weighed in a 13 pounds 4 oz and was 24 inches long! She has come a long way in four months. The Dr. gave us the go ahead to try some rice cereal, which we did. Hillarious! I will be posting pics of that moment soon! Ava has continued to develope on schedule and is a very healthy little girl. She has really found her voice and gabs to Mommy, Daddy, and anyone else who listen for that matter! She is getting stronger and stronger everyday. She stands well when holding our hands and can keep her head up completly on her own when sitting or hanging on mommys hip. She has been our little drool monster for the past week or so and has me wondering if she will be getting some teeth soon. EVERYTHING is making it's way into her mouth, I think it's her way of discovering things! It's about time for Cole and I to baby proof the house as I'm sure in no time she will be crawling everywhere! Happy birthday to my little peanut! Love you!

New Toy

This is a toy that Ava's babysitter Missy actually got her for her baby shower. I just got it put together and she really enjoyed it this past weekend. She would sit in for half hour to forty five minute increments. She was just fascinated by all the new things and the sounds each one made. The toy on her right is one you push down and it makes lots of noise. It would scare her when we would do it and then she would laugh and try to grab it. She eventually started just "punching" it...she couldn't figure it out. It was pretty cute...funny how her frustration is cute, but for some reason it is! I think it's the process of watching her discover things! Once she gets a little longer and her feet actually touch the bottom it will let her bounce a little too. I have a feeling this toy will last her a while and will keep her entertained!

Wahoo

Ava got to sit with mama in the kitchen and help me cook. She loves sitting in her bumbo now as she can be a part of everything that is going on, and I think she gets pretty excited when she gets to do so! I can just picture her saying "yes!" when I look at this picture! Cracks me up! What a sweetie
