Father's Day

This was Jason's first Father's Day! We had a nice breakfast out with Averie and Jason got to enjoy his favorite breakfast potatoes. Then we went to the Cornet's for a family lunch and he took Averie swimming, she did great and proceeded to take a 2 hour nap in the pack n play! She is lucky to have such an amazing dad who loves her and spends so much time playing and swimming with her!

Jason's dad got him the funniest shirt, he can't wait to show it off to his Daddy friends.

7 months

We can't believe Averie is already 7 months old! She is trying so hard to crawl. Averie is very determined and has been on all fours rocking and scooting. We better hurry up and start baby proofing the house! Averie continues to be a piggy and loves most foods. She starts to kick and complain if we try to eat our own food or don't get the spoon to her fast enough, haha. We have given her puffs and cheerios to eat. She has great dexterity to pick them up and enjoys being able to feed herself, she even holds her own bottle!

Averie and I are taking a mommy & me class with a few of our friends and she just loves to play and try new things. Last week's theme was on the farm and she got to wear a cowboy hat and play with all sorts of farm related toys and stories.

6 Months

A few days late, but wanted to get the stats from the doctor. Averie weighs 15lbs 10.5oz (40%) and is 27 inches long (88%). Still our long, lean and active little girl. She is working on sitting up, doing push ups and scooting on her head/back. We are not ready for her to be crawling, but she sure seems determined. She also had her two bottom teeth break through back to back, then got her first cold...not fun for anyone :(

We started solids a few weeks ago and Averie loves her veggies. She likes peas, green beans,  butternut squash and sweet potato already, but is not a fan of applesauce or pears. I never knew babies didn't like applesauce, thought it was a given. Below is a video of her first bites of oatmeal. She tries to hold her own bottle at bedtime and will start trying a sippy cup this month. She is growing up so fast and can't wait to see what the next month will bring us.
