Happy 5 months Ava!

Seriously? It's been a month already ?? Oh my, where is the time going ... really. Since I've gone back to work the days and weeks just fly by! I feel like Ava grows and changes everyday. I go to work and come home (especially after working two 12's in a row) and feel like she's grown so much! Our days are filled with routine and busy-ness. :) As a mom to this squealing, babbling, wiggling 5 month old I have to say that its not possible for me to love my life with her any more than I do right now! She is a ray of sunshine to us... our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. :) I love being her mommy!

We started green beans with the munchkin ... this is her first food since rice cereal. She gives me the bitter-beer-face with almost every bite, hehe. We do cereal in the morning and green beans in the evening. I think we'll move on to peas next week.

Ava naps about every 2 hrs. She takes a long nap in the morning (about 1 &1/2 hrs) and then 30-40 min naps the rest of the day. She is super crabby without her naps. :) I LOVE rocking her for her naps. Its our time to really cuddle and we both enjoy it. I love watching her eyes drift into a sleepy slumber ... and I LOVE how she reaches her little fingers up to my face and "talks" to me as we both rock back and forth. I will never forget the one time when she put her hand on my chin and started cracking up laughing ... it was kind of a, I'm-so-sleepy-I'll-laugh-at-anything chuckle ... cutest thing ever, just out of the blue started laughing as she held onto my chin. Silly girl.

She has recently discovered her thumb. :) She doesn't really suck on it, but gnaws on it with her toothless gums. She doesn't suck on anything really ... occasionally she'll take her binky for naps but not often.

She's been talking up a storm lately. She's throwing in some consonants in her babbling ... I'm hearing some m's and b's in all that gibberish. :)

Here are some pics for the month ... can't wait til this weather breaks and we can enjoy the outdoors a little more!!


Smiley face!!
