Now that Avery is six months she has been a busy girl and as you can see is so much more exciting to photograph! She loves swinging at the park, so we try to fit that in several times every week between her Swim Lessons, Bounce and Tickle Me class at the Library, and her play group. We were able to get a picture of 12 of the 17 kids this last week with all the kids between 5-12 Months. She is also eating solids really well and loves all of her fruits, we're still working on the veggies and meats. Her favorite foods are bananas and applesauce though.
She had some fun visits from her Aunt Nicole and Uncle Gregg as well as Grandma and Grandpa Herron. As you can see she loves to smile now, which has earned her the nickname "Smiling Girl" from Dad. She is finally able to sit up on her own and loves to play naked. Somehow she now loves to play on her tummy, which is a shocking improvement from earlier. Avery is also learning her voice and has said her first word- "dadada" (I think Steve must have brainwashed her because after he babysat her one night she woke up doing it in the morning ;-) She also had her first tooth break through the surface this week. Unfortunately though she has her first ear infection and hasn't been feeling the greatest. She's a trooper though and she is still doing great and sleeping her normal 12-13 hours each night. She even goes to sleep on her own for her naps and night time, which is a huge step up.
