My Life as Mommy And Wife: Updates from her 6 month appointment

Ava is such a ham. She loves all attention being on her. While we were in the waiting room all these kids wanted to play with her and talk to her. I didn't have a problem with this because we weren't in the sick clinic. However I didn't let her get on the ground and crawl around with them lol. She was super upset about that. Of course this is the slowest office ever so we waited for about 45 mins in the waiting room. Then we got moved to the actual examination room. I got her undressed and then had to move her to another room. This is where we got her weight. She is 20lbs!! I could've sworn she was heavier because after carrying her around all day, my back hurts so bad. Then they told me to go back to the examination room where we waited for another 45 mins. It is so trying to entertain a baby for that long. She was getting restless. When the doctor finally came in, Ava was so happy.... Until the Dr tried to get her height. She does not like being held down. I felt horrible. She is now 29in. Apparently Ava is evening out so she probably wont have any more growth spurts for awhile. That sounds great to me!! Maybe her clothes will fit her a little longer now! The Dr was so impressed with how Ava was acting. She kept comparing her to a 9 month old and she confirmed that her tooth is close to cutting through.

But she told us because Ava has been growing properly we should start her on gerber's stage 3 food, which has chunks in it, and start her on table food. I was way too excited about this. Just in time for Thanksgiving, lucky girl. Her favorite thing to eat right now are the Gerber Puffs. She LOVES them. She makes the cutest faces while chewing!! Oh and this little girl is on the move at all times. Her new favorite spot to hang out is under the dining room table. She is starting to crawl so fast too. It's getting hard to catch her. Here are some new pictures of our little girl..
