Milestones:  She is doing a scoot crawl and really proud of herself. She does these crazy planks and holds herself up working on her core. She is also a pretty stable sitter now.

Sleeping/ Eating: Sleep is still on and off with teething. She also wakes up and starts to practice her crawling. She is trying a ton of new foods at home and at daycare. Avery loves food, she enjoys trying to get it in her mouth and is happily occupied by some Cheerios.

Clothing: All 9 month clothes and growing out of pants quickly.

Avery’s Favorites:  She loves Cheerios and Mum Mums.

Things I want to remember: 

This month was a relief after a very hard month. Last month she was sick a lot and really wanted to crawl and couldn’t. This led to one cranky sad baby. I felt so bad for her when she kept getting sick. Once she started to be able to move around it was like she was a new girl.

What we have been up to: 

Molly and cousin Karis came for a visit, we love getting the girls together even though they don’t have much interest yet. They did hold hands and that was really cute. We got to see her cousin Silas who is crawling and pulling up a lot more than Avery and she was watching him intently trying to figure out what he was doing. I had my first Mother’s Day and Avery was such a doll that day, just smiled and was so sweet. I will always be thankful that I am Avery’s mom.  It is the hardest thing I have ever done and by far the most rewarding. Obviously she is my first and I have nothing to compare to, but I think she is such an easy going sweet girl.
