FIVE MONTHS!

Ava Lynn, how are you already 5 months old?! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. You weigh 12 lbs 13 oz. I'm not sure how tall you are, but I'm guessing over 26 inches by now. You are one long baby! This month you started sitting up and crawling! I can't believe how soon you started crawling. Even your doctor said not to expect you to crawl before 6 months, but you like to show everyone how smart you are. I think it helps that you see the other babies crawling at Mrs. Julie's house. You love going to Mrs. Julie's. You have so much fun playing with the other kids there and they love you, too! I love when I drop you off and the big kids come to see you and tell you good morning. They like to sing songs to you and play with your hair :) You have slept through the night 3 times now (although not 3 times in a row...haha). You usually wake up at least once a night still. I'm okay with it because I get extra snuggles. You are so worth every minute of sleep I lose. You are eating every 3 hours. You nurse when you're home and take about 5 oz of breastmilk when you're at Mrs. Julie's. You're a lot better at nursing now that you're older. It was so hard in the beginning, but I'm glad I've stuck with it. You have been eating oatmeal cereal and squash this month. You're a big fan of both of them! You like to take the spoon away from me and try to feed yourself. 
I love you so much, Ava. You are one of my greatest blessings! I am so thankful to be your momma.
