8 Months...

Our Avery Mae just hit the 8 month mark. She has hit a few new mile stones in the past month and I am happy to report she's sleeping a little more! She now has two bottom front teeth that she loves to chew on things with. Baby food seems to only make Avery mad! She starts to spit and turn her head if I come near her with a spoon. She wants to do everything herself  (uh oh!). Her favorites include avocado, banana, peaches, hummus, celery sticks, macaroni and basically anything that isn't baby food. It's an adjustment from the way I fed Addison and we seem to have to hose her down after every meal. Avery will smile at anyone. She draws a lot of attention as she seems to flirt with anyone that will look at her! She is so close to crawling I keep thinking she is going to take off one of these days. Avery is still a quiet baby when it comes to babbling. She has a soft laugh, but a really loud squawk. She likes to squawk when she sees her rice cereal being mixed up. She's the happiest when she's being held and chewing on something. Splashing in the bath is a favorite and she still likes to go in the swing when no one can hold her. When I get in the shower Avery SCREAMS! It makes for a long and loud 5 minutes! Addison still adores her baby sister and loves to be around her. She managed to talk Grammie into putting Avery in her shopping cart. Avery wasn't too sure about it:) 8 months is bringing a little more sleep at night which I couldn't be happier about. I just bough a bathing suit for the summer and I'm sure Avery is going to love the water!
