Avaleen

Oh my...Avaleen is 7 months old!

She continues to grow into such a beautiful and fun little girl:) It's so hard being away from her all day while I am at work...it's clear how fast time goes! She has hit some new milestones as she's entered her 7th month...are you ready?

1. Eating MORE solid foods...such as:

              * sweet potatoes

              * avocado

              * peas

              * green beans

              * bananas

              *and most recently...pears!

2. Can sit up by herself...but with lots of soft stuff around her:)

3. Loves music...especially the drums! duh...

4. Enjoys "pony" songs while being bounced on our knees

5. Grabs EVERYTHING and thinks it's something to eat:)

6. She LOVES baths and screams..loudly...everytime we turn on the water!

7. Still has only two teeth but they are much more visible and cute when she smiles:)

8. Is getting more...wild red hair!

9. Is LESS scared of strangers...yay!

10. Thinks socks belong in he mouth...not on her feet:)

Brad enjoys morning snuggles with her after I nurse and head off to work...we walk in and as he says good morning...her face lights up into the biggest.smile.ever....everyday:)

We recently took her to the park and she had her first swing ride! Wheeeeeeee! She loved it!

She is extremely curious...and seems interested in everything...she does this funny little "puff" thing and then sighs when she's thinking...so cute:) We're looking forward to the coming season of Fall...my favorite...and get many more first with her! I can't WAIT for Halloween! Any guesses on her costume?? We just hope it fits because we bought it last year...:) Here's one hint...I dressed up as the same thing when I was little!
