7 Months!

Avery is cruisin' now! She loves to crawl and is getting really fast! She explores every part of the house she can get to. In fact, we blocked off the front hall with diaper bags and she scaled those rather quickly.

She's finally eating baby food. When she tried it the first time, she just made a horrible face and slobbered until the food came back out. Now she's excited any time I bring her bowl and spoon to her. She is, however, a lazy eater. She barely opens her mouth, so most of the food ends up on her face. So I shovel and scrape, scrape, scrape, shovel, and scrape. This method does take longer, but she seems to enjoy it. She growls the whole time!

Avery and her sister are beginning to play well together. Emily still tries to shove Avery out of the way when they're playing, but most of the time they do a good job of co-existing in the toys. And last night they took a bath together! Avery loved every second of it. She splashed and splashed and Emily pretty much played on her own while Avery splashed. I did have to tell Emily to get her finger out of Avery's crack. She said, "Nudey booty!" and pointed and stuck her finger in Avery's crack. Oh well, gotta laugh.
