Today Ava is 8 months! She has hit so many milestones I don't know if I can name them all! I'm so proud of our little noodles! She is so awesome! Ava got two teeth! It seems like she is working on two more.
She can sit very well on her own. She can move all over the place, although she is not yet crawling, she has found creative ways to get what she wants. She can scoot backwards, inch forwards, sit up and wiggle her butt until she moves a little. She can fall over and roll. Today, on her 8th month milestone, she really learned to crawl backwards and she found out how to sit up from the crawling position. I almost leaped for joy I was so excited! Usually if she gets frustrated on her stomach she cries until someone picks her up. This small milestone now means that I do not have to run to her rescue every minute or so! It also means that she is that much closer to getting into EVERYTHING! Ava has also tried bitter biscuits. Although they are her most favorite thing in the world, Phil is a little nervous when she eats them because she can get large chunks off and Phil gets nervous about her choking on them. If she drops her bitter biscuit she screams so loud you might think that her finger has been sliced off. She also claps her hands, waves bye bye, and knows who "mommy" and "daddy" are. She also has understanding of "num nums" which is mommy's milk, and "Ava, are you hungry?". If we say "YAY", Ava will usually clap her hands. Ava seems to understand a lot of the world around her. Ava also learned the wonderful technique of spitting and "thsp" sound, piercing her lips together like a fish, and making the "pop" sounds with her lips. She loves to walk if you hold her hands. In the past week she has picked up the pace a little bit and if she see's something she really wants she will walk fast to get to it. When I pick Ava up from Grandma and Grandpa's house she recognizes me and squeals with delight when I walk through the door. A recent event is when someone walks out of the room,she begins to cry. Only for a second or two but she still cries. Ava can still sit on the floor and entertain herself for a long while by herself.
She is fascinated hitting blocks together or clapping her hands. She smiles and loves to show off her bottom teeth by sticking out her lower jaw in a grimace.
Today, we went on our first 5k! My first 5k and Ava's first 5k. We went on a 5k to promote and raise money for the Crisis Call Center in Northern Nevada. It was so cold and Ava did such a good job! She sat in her stroller the whole time, in her snow suit and only hummed and buzzed her lips a few times other than that she was quite as a mouse!
Phil and I were sick a lot this past month. Fortunately for us, I'm still breastfeeding so Ava only got whatever we had for a day or less while we were not quite as fortunate and we were on lock down in our house for almost a week or so more this month. I had pink eye which Ava and Phil were able to avoid, thank goodness! Thankfully we are on the mend and we seem to be doing much better now.
