Weeeeeeeeeeee!

The following is a rather ridiculous number of pictures of a baby on a swing.  A very cute baby, at that.

Miss Avery turned nine months old on Thursday.  She now weighs in at 18 pounds and ten ounces.  She cut her first tooth over Easter weekend and the second is right behind it.  She is trying so hard to crawl, but so far she can only go backwards.  She can get places pretty quickly just by scooting and rolling around.  She is starting to pull up on furniture but can only get as high as her knees.  She talks a lot these days, mostly "dada" sounds.  She still has no interest at all in baby food.  (As my dad says, the girl has taste).  She is a solid sleeper- she naps twice a day for about 1.5 hours each time and about 11.5 hours at night.  She still thinks Hayden is hilarious.  She is very ticklish and will even hold her foot out for us to tickle again after we have stopped.  She likes it when Hayden blows raspberries on her tummy.  She LOVES bath time.  She still likes her pacifier but usually only when she goes to sleep. Let's hope we can keep it that way!

Life with two has definitely been an adjustment.  And for those of you who know Matt and I well you know it can take us a while to adjust to things at times.  But mostly it has been so much fun.  I am really looking forward to this summer when we can really start getting out and exploring and doing fun things as a family.  Life is good!
