Ava Elisabeth: 6 Months

6 Months



I have been dreading this post for quite some time and I keep thinking to myself, if I am this bad at 6 months, what am I going to be like at 1 year...oh geez, I don't even want to think about it! Since I have been dreading it so much, I am behind on actually posting about her 6 month birthday (11 days to be exact!). On March 5, Ava turned 6 months old. Being this is such a big milestone (I mean its her first half birthday!) I couldn't let it go without being celebrated. I bought her one of those "mini" cupcakes (you know the kind that are "half" the size of a regular cupcake?!) and wouldn't you know, I put a candle on it and lit the darn thing! I'm not too sure she knew what to think!





Where did the bright light on top go?!


So, now for the not so fun part, talking about my baby girl growing up! I can't believe it has been six months since the Doctor came in and said he was taking the baby and I had about 2 hours! AHHHHHH! Time has flown by. I remember thinking I would never get this hiccuping/kicking machine out of me...now it seems like a blur (well, I don't know if it well ever get fuzzy enough for me). Ava has grown so much, both in size and personality. She can now sit up on her own, hold her own bottle (when she wants to) and she loves to make all kinds of sounds. She is such a good and happy baby, we have been very blessed. I am able to take her to work with me everday and she is content playing in and with her numerous toys until she wears herself out at which point I pick her up and put her to sleep for her nap(s). I will say, if I happen to be holding her while I am working at the desk, she likes to see how many things on my desk she can destroy! She still isn't sleeping through the night and I don't think she is anywhere close yet either, but I say, if that is the only problem I have with her then I count myself lucky, lack of sleep really isn't that big of deal when I have been doing it for over a year anyways! (Funny, I would have never thought I would have said that) We went for Ava's 6 month check up- she's not so tiny anymore!

Her stats:
Weight- 15 lbs 15 ozs (she wasn't quite ready to hit 16)
Length - 26 inches


She is now in the 50% range, a big jump from where she was the last time we visited. The Doctor said everything looked great and we think Ava was trying to flirt with him, she kept flashing him a big smile and talking to him! I don't think this child will ever meet a stranger!



On a side note, the girl is still in 0-3 month clothes, although some of them are starting to get a little snug, she can wear 3-6 month clothing, but she has plenty of room in it, so we are in between right now, and she is still in size 1 diapers....has anyone else noticed that the weight ranges on these clothes are totally off?!
