Ava's 7 months old....wait a minute, didn't I just post last week that she was 6 months old.

OK, so last month I was more than just a little behind, Ava is really 7 months old and busy as ever. I can't believe where the time has gone. Below are a few of our most recent pictures.













As you can see, she is busy crawling everywhere. She really likes to look at herself in these mirrors in our bedroom. The first time she saw herself she tried to crawl right into the mirror and of course bonked her head. She was so confused as to what was going on, the face she made was hilarious.

This was Ava enjoying a bike ride we took last weekend.









And here she is looking at her favorite puppy, now that she's mobile Ava is constantly trying to go after Maddie.





And last but not least, this is Ava wearing her brothers football helmet. Doesn't she look adorable in it???



Ava's latest accomplishments are mastering crawling, eating more and more solid foods. She likes most fruits, except Apples, and red colored vegetables. She is not a fan of anything green. You can always tell when she is getting full or doesn't like something because she sticks out her tongue and starts to gag or starts blowing bubbles spitting it every where. Kyle and Allicia seem to think this is hilarious and of course that just encourages her to do it more.



She has also started trying to pull herself up on things....she hasn't quite mastered this yet, but it is coming. Nothing is safe in the house anymore.



We have also started Ava on medicine for acid reflux. We took her to the doctor earlier this week and it seems to be helping. She has been sleeping better, for the most part, and is a lot less restless than she was. Allicia had acid reflux as a baby too, so it must be something that runs in our family. Thankfully she out grew it and doesn't seem to have issues anymore. We're hoping Ava does as well.



Other than chasing after a busy baby, we have been busy trying to enjoy the rest of summer. Kyle has started football practice and is eating us out of house and home. He is a bottomless pit now that football has started. Allicia continues to enjoy playing with her friends as much as possible. We signed her up for dance which will start once school begins. Next week we have meet the teacher day for both kids and then we will be off on a family vacation to Vegas! We're super excited to spend some time by the pool, where hopefully it is HOT and plan on seeing the Lion King. There are several of us going from Dave's family so it should be a great time. Look for pictures when we return.

I can't believe how quickly Ava is growing, and how big she is now! Have a great trip to Vegas - I am sure it will be lots of fun :)
