Holidays!

Wow...Sorry all! It's been quite a while since I have posted, but I am happy to say that I am DONE with student teaching! I can't believe I made it through 16 weeks, I am sooooo happy. I will be starting full time at GMAC tomorrow. In a couple of weeks once my teaching license comes, I can start applying for teaching jobs. Hoping one close comes open!

Ava has since turned 6 months old! Unreal! She is such a little angel...most of the time! She is awake much longer now, and is pretty snoopy if you ask me! She always has to know whats going on, and it is getting harder and harder for us to get her to sleep if she knows she is missing out on something. She has discovered her toes and is always trying to eat them, and anything else she can get her hands on. She is also doing very well at sitting. She hasn't got it completely mastered yet, she still is a little top heavy at times, but she is improving everyday. Pretty soon I have a feeling we will be looking down at her sitting and she will have taken off crawling. She is very close!

Her new favorite food at the moment is green beans. She gobbles them up! She is also enjoying the Gerber graduate puffs. We have them in banana, strawberry apple, apple cinnamon, veggie, Cheddar cheese and maple. They are little snacks for her that she really loves. I have tried them too, and while feeding her some, somehow half the tin got eaten...hmmmm?
We just had a great night at great Aunt Sharon and great Uncle Barts for one of the Odneal x-mas's. Of course she was spoiled getting gifts from great Grandpa and Grandma Odneal, Sharon, and Helen & Louie. We also got family pics, and Ava's 6 month pics taken. So excited to see those, they looked adorable when being taken!

Crazy to  think Christmas is only a week away. We will be busy all weekend with Christmas's. We have Grandma Schoonover's Friday night, My dad's and Cole's parents Christmas Eve, then we will be out to Rick's and Grandma Niemann Sunday. Luckily I will be getting off at 6 now, so I should be able to find some time to finish up some shopping as we are not completely done yet!

Hope everyone has a great holiday season! We are so excited to enjoy this one with Ava!
