5 blessed months!

Look how big our little stinker is getting! She is probably crossed the 15 pound mark by now. She is going to be 5 months on the 5th, the same day that Nathan's dad, Calvin, turns 70! Happy birthday Pops! We are getting ready for our road trip to Nashville for some SEC basketball!
Avery got to play with older cousin Ethan while mommy and daddy got to play some euchre. It's so great to get to see them grow up together! It seems like we've been so busy and all have been sick so it was nice to visit the land of the living.
My blue eyed girl. Would you believe that people follow us around in stores and restaurants, just to get a peek at Avery? It's flattering, but also very annoying when you've got a squirming baby with poo everywhere and people are trying to check her out! The other night we were out to eat with my parents and some family friends when Avery decided to "go number two." She was sitting in her Bumbo, so it squished out everywhere, on the tablecloth, on my lap, on her clothes...everywhere! So much fun!
She loves to play and goof around with daddy. She just adores him! It's so cute to just watch her stare. Something new and fun.... now if I hold out my arms and say "Come to mommy", she will hold out her arms and lean towards me! She loves her momma!
Bananas...
Sweet potatoes...
and carrots...oh my!

We've started some more solid foods and so far, she loves everything! We should be ready for green veggies next week though, so we'll see how it goes. She knows now when she sits in her bumbo and gets a bib and sees the spoon, what's coming. She also likes to help, as you can see in the last picture.

Avery has also started rolling back to front in the last couple days...which she really seems to like a lot more than front to back. It's not nearly as scary to her. She has been sleeping in her big girl bed every night now, although her waking varies from night to night. Naps are a different story...she hasn't seemed to make the connection to be in her bed during the day yet. Oh well, they are only small for a little while though so I don't mind holding her too much. Baby steps! That's what I keep telling myself.

Anyway, it's time for the little one to eat and get ready for bed. I'll be posting basketball pictures soon!
