You turned 6 months old a couple of weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to writing this post. I'm not too worried about the timeliness of it, though. Spending time with you is more important.
This month you started pulling up to standing! I can't believe how much you have grown and learned. It's amazing to watch you figure out new things. You are crawling all over the place and can sit up very well. You haven't been sleeping very well, but we are working on that. I'm glad that I have the summer off to help you develop good sleep habits. You have definitely started to have some separation anxiety. You cry as soon as I leave the room. As long as there is another person in the room with you, you don't cry, though. You babble all the time and say "bababa" which I think is you trying to say "Bar Bar" since you love the puppies so much.
You love to eat veggies and fruits. You don't like meats, yet, but we will work up to those. You are still nursing like a champ. I never knew how much I would love nursing, but it is one of my favorite parts of being your mama.
You had your 6 month check up last week and Dr. Wallace was astounded that you are already crawling and sitting up so well. I knew you would be a fast learner, though. ;) You are 27.5 inches long and weigh 14 lbs 2 oz. You are VERY tall and VERY skinny. Everyone always comments on how small you look, but to me you look so big!
I love you so much, Ava Lynn. You and your daddy are my most favorite people in the world. I am so happy it's summertime and I get to spend so much time with you!!
