Smiling and sucking on fists (two of her favorite things this month)Little Miss Ava is 5 months old today! She is growing and changing by the day. This past month has been one with the most changes. Ava has hit many milestones in her 4 month and it has been so fun to watch her discover new things. The way she stares at our faces, her dog Macy, trees, flowers (just to name a few), reminds me to take a step back and admire God's beautiful creations as if I am seeing them for the first time too. Her eyes have been filled with such wonder and it makes me so happy to watch her soak up everything around her.
Here are some of her firsts this month:
*Sitting in bumbo seat
*Grabbing toes
*Rolling from front to back and back to front (this is not a daily occurence but has happened a few times so it is worth noting)
*Eating first solid food- rice cereal
*Giggling regularly (rasberries and kisses on the belly usually do the trick)
*Sleeping in crib (no more swing! woohoo! time to pack it away)
*Sleeping on tummy in crib
I often look back at her newborn pictures and it always brings tears to my eyes to remember those first precious moments with her. When we dropped Ava off at the hospital nursery shortly after she was born I had tears streaming down my face and our nurse, looking stunned, asked if I was ok and I remember just feeling such disbelief that she was really mine. I still
have those same feelings and emotions and I sometimes feel as though I am living in a dream.
Here are some more pictures from this past month that we wanted to share.
