I find myself thinking Avy is still 6 months. It’s hard for me to accept she is closer to her 1st birthday than her actual birth day. Much like Asher at this age, Avy loves to eat. She can spend an hour in her highchair trying to pick up pieces of food and feed herself. Only about half of it makes it into her mouth. Zoe, our lab, is more than happy to clean up everything that falls to the floor. With the nicer weather lately, we’ve been able to go on lots of walks and she will finally stay in the stroller without complaining. Yay for me and my back! She loves to swing and watch our colorful windsock blow in the breeze. Avy has learned a few more signs this month. I’m not sure if her most recent one is supposed to be eat, Mommy, or Gramma. She has been learning funny new ways to get peoples attention by smacking her lips and fake coughing. This month I have also noticed some signs of a “Daddy’s Girl” developing. Her face always lights up when JR enters the room and a couple of times she has started to cry for him when he kisses her goodnight. Uh oh!
