8 Months AND......

Ava just turned 8 months old last Saturday and that afternoon she started CRAWLING!!! Oh my gosh I was so excited!! It is seriously the cutest thing ever. Her little bum wiggles back and forth and I just wanta pinch it. haha just kidding I don't but she is the funniest thing to watch. And just in the last few days she has gotten fastest and better. Uh Oh! I havent even started baby proofing the house yet. Or as Russell calls it "booby-trapping the house" lol!


Also about 3 weeks ago Ava said her first real word! she said DOG! And she actually knows what it means. She'll say it when Lucky barks or we're reading a dog book or a dog is on TV. It so adorable the way she says it in her little baby voice. I just LOVE her so much. She is such a happy funny little girl. And she is ALWAYS smiling and laughing. I have never met such a happy baby before. Wow I really lucked out with her. She is so good and so smart!

Isn't this little girl the cutest thing EVER! Okay I'm a little biased since I'm the mommy but ya gotta admit she's a little cutie :)

Also about 2 weeks ago I put her in the crib to play while I put some of her clothes away and when I turned around to look at her she was STANDING UP in her crib! Now she is started to pull up onto things! She walks around everywhere in her little walker and bounces like crazy in her bouncer. Her legs are getting strong and she's started to thin out a little from the exersise. Of course her cheeks are still as chubby as ever which I LOVE! OoooHH don't ya just wanta eat em up!!
