One Year Check Up!

Ava had her one year check up on Wednesday July 28, 2010. Her appointment went really really well. She is gaining weight! Steadily, she is making her way to the chart but isn't quite on the chart yet. She weighed in at 15 lbs 4.5 oz. She is 27 inches! So she is actually on the chart for length. She is between 5-10%. Thats pretty good!
Ava carries on conversations
Phil was walking out the room
Ava "where you go?"
Phil "what did she just say?"
Kelly "she asked you where you were going"
Phil "Oh, I'm going to the living room"
Ava "ok"

Ava also started walking this weekend, not just a few steps!
Several times Ava took 8 steps or more.
Today she actually started standing up on her own today. She even stood up and started taking a few steps on her own after a few tries of standing up by herself.
Today she was such a happy little girl. Giggling.
She ate so much today
This morning she had Bologna, cheese and bread
Then when she woke up from her nap she ate 1/4 nectarine, cheese, yogurt, two wagon wheels.
This afternoon she had 1/4 nectarine, 1/4 avocado, salmon, hot dog, two wagon wheels, yogurt melts, cheese puffs, then had two more wagon wheels, two mumm mumms.
And Ava is finally starting to chunk up! Maybe she will actually wear 6/9 month clothes before the summer is over!
We are so happy with Ava!
