7 months old

Ava currently weighs 21 lbs, 6 oz (fully clothed). We don't go back to the doctor until 9 months, so we won't know her length until then.

With the nice weather we've been having, we have been able to take Ava outside to play. And boy, does she love it. She loves feeling the grass, grabbing the dandelions, and just looking around. Ava also loves to go for walks, and we're hoping to get a trailer to pull behind the bike so that we can enjoy some bike rides with her this summer.

We have transitioned to size 9-12 month jammies. And she is wearing a mix of 6-9 and 9-12. She is still wearing size 3 diapers.

In addition to sitting up, she has started her own form of rolling over. She'll go from butt to tummy, or butt to back to tummy. But no the traditional front to back, or back to front. She is also able to scoot herself in a circle when she is doing tummy time. She can't figure out how to get on her knees though.

Ava is such a good little eater. She is still strictly on breastmilk and baby food. Last night she ate an entire container of peaches mixed with 3 teaspoons of rice cereal! She isn't as big of an eater for lunch though, usually just a couple of bites and she's done. Last week I tried giving her some Gerber Puffs (for those of you that don't know, Puffs are like cereal, but they melt in your mouth). She didn't quite know what to do with them. We have also been introducing the sippy cup with water. She knows exactly what to do with that. I think she enjoys drinking on her own. Oh and still no teeth!

Ava has just been the light of our lives. I can't imagine our world without her in it. She makes each day such a blessing.
