Ava--5 months

We just can't get enough of Ava. She is such a sweet, happy baby (not so good during that night but lets just focus on the positive for now). Here is a little of what she is up to at 5 months old.

Enduring having her siblings making her look silly.




She loves sticking out her tongue right now. Her tongue is out constantly.


Jordan loves to carry Ava around. She even brings her along when she is doing her chores. Here is Ava watching Jordan clean the bathroom.

Did I mention she is a very smiley baby?






She is sitting very well.

She loves checking things out.

Inspecting the bottom.

Taste testing.

She seems to like.

Rolling over to get a better look.


Pulling her whole basket toy over.
The big thing this month was that Ava tried solids for the first time. She was NOT a fan. She was not at all impressed with the rice cereal we tried to feed her. (We quickly moved on to other foods because she wanted nothing to do with boring rice cereal. Peas and green beans were a failure too. Sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, banana, and apple sauce have all been a success.)
Hmmm, what is this?

"I'm not impressed."

OK, lets try this again.

Yuck, just as gross as last time.

"Maybe, it will taste better with my eyes closed."


Ava loves to play peek-a-boo. She can even pull the blankets off by herself.



One morning Ava woke up with quite the bedhead. The kids thought it was hilarious and took the following pictures.

Oh my goodness, what an adorable child!

If Ava gets too picky with the food, try mixing it with ice cream. Just an idea.

Can't wait to kiss her little chubby cheeks over Labor Day weekend!
