Av is ten months old!

Our baby girl just turned ten months... can you believe it? In honor of her ten months of life here are ten reasons we LOVE having her as our little girl!

1.That grin.... she could melt the meanest of peoples heart with one flash of her toothless smile!
2. Her giggle... sometimes she gets SO tickled she does nothing but let out a high pitched squeal!
3. Watching her crawl all over the living room and discover anything and everything on the floor!
4. She holds her baby dolls and snuggles them while patting their backs (she is going to be a GREAT big sis!)
5. She LOVES her daddy and mommy! She always reaches and wiggles for excitement when she sees us!
6. When she crawls around on the floor and I am down there playing with her sometimes she comes over reaches to me to hold her and when I do she hugs me and pats my back... what a sweet girl she is!
7. She LOVES waving "bye bye" and does it profusely while saying something that resembles "bye"
8. Her eyes are breath taking ( I know I think this because she is my daughter!) they are so big and so blue!
9. She is very serious when she meets people, she has to take it all in... but watch out once she takes it in she is a SHOW OFF... our girl knows how to work a crowd!
10. She is a dance star, at the littlest sound of music she busts a move... she wiggles from toes to head... with special emphasis on her behind!


Averi has changed a lot the last month... she has gone from barely scooting to full on crawling and pulling up on EVERYTHING... she is even trying to get up the stairs! Her biggest change has come in her diet... due to the pregnancy my milk supply almost immediately diminished and we have begun giving her formula! The transition has gone smoother then expected and she has almost completely given up nursing unless she is REALLY upset and that's more for comfort then nourishment! Obviously the biggest change this month was the news that our baby girl was becoming a big sister!

SO here is the first time she has to share the spotlight with a new sibling... ultrasound pics, we are officially 6 weeks 2 days and the baby looks great... a strong heartbeat! We are due October 17Th... Oh and there is a tiny arrow pointing to a tiny baby not to be confused with a fish!



WE LOVE YOU SWEET AV! MORE THEN YOU COULD EVER KNOW YOU ARE A JOY TO WAKE UP TO EVERY MORNING! WE THANK GOD FOR YOU! WE ALSO LOVE YOU NEW BABY AND ARE PRAYING YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND STRIVE IN MOMMY'S WOMB UNTIL YOUR BIRTH DAY!
