They grow up so fast


Ava recently had her 4 month check up. I can't believe how quickly time passes. She was 14.1 lbs and 24 inches. She has started on rice cereal and Grammy's homemade baby food. What Grammy can't grow in her garden, she buys organic from Harry's and makes baby food for Ava and cousin Landon. She is a great eater and loves all her vegetables. We started teaching her how to open her mouth wide and chew. I guess I made noises while feeding her because now when she eats she makes "Mmm" and "Uhm" sounds. It's so cute. As you can see she likes her food so much she wants to wear it.


Ava also learned to roll over this week. I layed her on her stomach for "tummy time". It's suppose to help infant's strengthen their neck muscles and promote mobility. Well Ava is not a fan of "tummy time" so she just flipped herself onto her back. We're still working on rolling from back to stomach but I'm a little hesitant. She's almost sitting up on her own too. I think we should have that mastered in the next week. Wow! It's amazing to watch her grow and see all the changes she is making.
