6 Months Avery






I know these aren't the greatest pictures, but Avery is already 6 1/2 months and I figured if I didn't just do this post, it wouldn't get done!  Avery is still our easy going, happy girl!  She is:


  • Almost sitting up!  She can sit alone for up to 15 seconds or so!
  • Can roll over from her belly to her back
  • Is starting to arch her back to see what's happening behind her when laying on the ground
  • STILL LOVES that bouncer chair, but Dr. says to use it less since she's getting a bit flat on the back of her head
  • Smiles all the time, but takes a lot for her to laugh (Chloe was the same way)
  • Has found her voice!  She loves yelling at the top of her lungs and babbles mamamama, often in an "angry" sounding voice.
  • I swear she has said mama and dada and knows the meaning.  One time I got her out of the bath and was just holding her in her towel and she looked up into my eyes and said mama, just once.  Melted my heart.  Same thing with Ronnie; I handed her to him at church and she looked at him and said dada!  Could be a fluke, but I think it was for real.
  • Is loving baby food, but wishes it was whatever I was eating.  Anytime I eat, she follows the food from the plate to my mouth.  If she's on my lap, she'll crane her neck back so she can watch me put it in my mouth.
  • Loves crackers, pizza crust, bread, whatever we give her to munch on.  If she drops it she'll start yelling until she gets it back.
  • Still a blow out baby
  • Size 4 diapers
  • Weighs 18 lbs
  • Wears anything from 6-9 to 12 months
  • Is really good at putting herself down for nap time and bed time.  It's like clock work...11:00 and 8:30.
  • Is getting really good dexterity.  Puts her hands on our faces a lot, grabs toys, inspects her hands a lot.
  • Loves little kids...they can make her laugh and she's fascinated by them, especially Chloe.  
  • Chloe and Avery are best buds and I love it :)
  • Got her first tooth this month, followed shortly by the second (both on bottom, just like Chloe's first two)
