Happy 6 Months Ava Kate!
September 25th, 2010

Yesterday you had rice cereal for the first time! You ate some and spit some out but it was fun to feed you with a spoon. After a week or so we will begin with another option, perhaps sweet potatoes! With some solid food you may begin to sleep through the night. We will see. You are sitting up and so active. You are reaching for everything and passing things from one hand to another with ease. You are so cute. You laughed out loud time and again at Daddy the other day. It was so cute. You are such a doll baby! You like to scoot on your belly and you push up on your arms. You haven't crawled yet but I know it won't be long. Mommy made you a birthday hat for your half birthday but it didn't want to stay on.

It was also Mommy and Daddy's 6 year wedding anniversary on the 25th. Daddy surprised me with box of chocolates and a great dinner at Juleps and you got to play with our friends, Tripper and Cherilyn. They said that you were very good for them and went to bed at 8:00 p.m. without a fuss. You are a sweet little one, baby girl! I love you!
We are taking in every moment and they are going by so fast. I still can't believe that you are 6 months old now. Happy 1/2 birthday Ava Kate!

Last year, when you were still in my belly, I took this picture with a card and a onesie that your Aunt Jilly sent you. This year you are wearing the onesie and playing with the flowers.
