8 Months Old!

Okay so this is a little late...but Avaleen turned 8 months old!!! (On October 11th.) 
Every time we turn around I feel like I'm posting about her growing another month!

She is still just as fun and cute as ever! We can tell she REALLY wants to crawl but has not yet mastered that...she moves, kicks, leans, grabs and tries to pull herself forward...but can't quite get it! But she is VERY close!

She is still sleeping great and has dropped her 11pm feeding...:(...I loved that time with her but I guess it's a good thing she is sleeping 7 to 7! She is way more active with her toys...loves to bounce...read...and is mimicking everything we do! She has been giggling a lot more which is hilarious and so much fun... baby giggles are so darn cute!


She still loves her food pureed and is not really into fork smashed bananas or avocados...We're planning on trying a protein like chicken or turkey soon...she loves pears and her morning cereal...omg...and there is no messing around with that. You need to shovel with no breaks or she gets antsy!

We bought her a set of colorful cups because she is obsessed with tupperware...she LOVES them. She likes to sit in her bumbo on the kitchen floor when we're working and play with them...and any extra tupperware we have around:)


She has gotten even more talkative and is a mover and a shaker. Her hands, wrists and feet are always moving...Brad and I think she's going to be into everything when she gets mobile...maybe we don't want her to crawl just yet...:) Next step? Start babyproofing the house!

Pumpkin Patch

Fall is my favorite season...and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! So we HAD to take Ava to the pumpkin patch to pick out her very first pumpkin! It was BEAUTIFUL out and figured we should take advantage before the rain came! 

We went to The Farm up near Snohomish, WA...which is were Brad and I go every year! It has everything from corn mazes, pig races, tons of food...kettlecorn being our favorite...hay rides...and a chance to pick your very own honeycrisp apples! Ava had a blast and did great the whole day!



We chose our pumpkins first...then enjoyed a quick walk through the corn maze...

Then we walked over to watch the pig races...Ava didn't totally get it but it was fun! Kettle corn was close by...so duh...we went there next. Brad grabbed a bag and then we sat in the grass by the big toy to munch and people watch. Ava snacked on her shoe...






We had a blast and can't wait to carve our pumpkins! Stay tuned!!!
