7 months

Things we've noticed about Avery this past month:
*Last time I weighed her she was 19lbs! That was on our bathroom scale!
*She helped me celebrate my first mothers day! *She likes to stretch her legs out with the bottoms of her feet together! *She gets these little shivers every now and then, its so cute! *Avery has recently decided she does not want to eat the food I made for her! She chows down on the packaged food but turns her head to the food I cooked for her! stinker pot! *She has eaten (and liked) acorn, butternut and yellow squash, zucchini, bananas, prunes, pears, sweet potatoes (packaged) and peas (packaged)!
*She has started shaking her head when I try to feed her, not sure if she's really saying no but she won't eat when she does it! its funny! *She has become so aware of whats going on around her. She got very upset when I tried to vacuum the living room. and i thought babies liked noises. *Her cry has changed, she has a much louder and (seems to be) more aggressive cry! *I think she might be having nightmares, for awhile now she has been waking up crying 3-4 times a night, only cry for a few seconds, kick around and go back to sleep! not sure exactly what it is, my only guess is maybe it was nightmares or tummy aches! *No teeth yet! *Avery had her first "swim" in a pool at her Gramma and Papa's house! they turned on the heater so it was lukewarm for her! She seemed to love it. *She has finally gotten the hang of rolling over. She can do it from her tummy to her back now! *Avery loves being outside, we spend alot of time swinging on the back porch (in her new swing!) and she loves to look around. *She is getting better at grasping her toys, she even tried to launch from a sitting position to grab a toy. maybe closer to crawling? :) *She has learned a new trick: to fake cough! she does it quite often, I think she likes the attention!

HAPPY 7 MONTH BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!

A&E on a picnic

Avery and I met up with Karisa and Ella today for a picnic and concert. We went to downtown denton where they had a band playing outside the courthouse. The girls had a great time. After lunch we stopped in Beth Marie's and had a banana split! It was delicious. It was my first time to have their ice cream, the shop is really neat, it looks like an old fashioned soda fountain! Ave and I will definitely have to go back and bring chris! Here is a short video of the girls;

Here are some pics;
YUMMY!!!
thanks Karisa and Ella for inviting us!

new swing

Avery has a new swing. Chris set it up on the back porch today and she got to take her first ride! I think she likes it!

She also had her first taste of fruit today! I mashed up a banana for her. She wasn't too sure about it, we'll see if she decides she likes it or not in the next few days...

by george i think she's got it!

as you may know, Avery has resisted rolling over for awhile now. Not only does she despise tummy time but she would actually push against you if you tried to roll her over. After alot of persistance I think she's finally gotten the hang of it! I have worked with her EVERYDAY! in the past couple days she's rolled over 7 times by herself! compared to only 3 times total before this week, I am very proud of her! :) Here are 2 videos i caught today;

3rd roll over of the day!
