Avery ~ 8 Months

Our little bug is now 8 months old! She's starting to be a little more active and kind of looks like she's losing a bit of her baby fat. Our favorite new thing that she does is (drum roll, please)..........sleep through the night!!! I don't know how it happened, but when we got back from Easter she must have been so exhausted that she just slept the entire night and has done so since. It is extremely nice. She's even doing better with naps now too. It's a lot of fun watching her and Allie together. Avery giggles at just about any noise or silly face Allie makes. She just recently started clapping her hands together. Pat-A-Cake is her new favorite thing to do. In order to get around she will just roll or scoot backwards. She has started to get up on her hands and knees so crawling will probably be in the near future. In fact, Derek caught her on her hands and knees in her crib the other morning trying to push the button on her Ocean Wonders Aquarium! She's eating really well. Her least favorite food would definitely be peas..and favorite would be any orange veggie, but she really likes fruits too (especially banana). I think she is really starting to like the finger food sized things too. She loves baths and story time! She is just an all around happy baby.........as long as Mommy's around! We love our Avs.
