Eight Months Old

Bonus - two posts today! I'm on a roll. Avery turned eight months old on Monday and is still growing like a weed. She's weighing in around 19 pounds these days. Her hair is long enough to put in a little bow or clip and her eyelashes are longer than mine! Hair is still blond (darker at the bottom) and eyes are a very pretty blue.

Avery is quite the little crawler though it is still an army crawl. She is a really good eater and likes everything we give her. Favorite veggies seem to be squash and sweet potatoes. She loves all fruits especially bananas and peaches. She's also eaten turkey, chicken, and beef. She eats puffs (Dad bought her banana flavored) and had apple juice for the first time today. She's only eaten baby food but we plan to start table food in the next month or two.

Also no teeth yet! We check every day but so far nada.

Happy New Year to everyone! We spent a mellow evening at home watching the KU game. Avery wore her KU hoodie for the occasion. Our mini-party only lasted until 12:15 and then we hit the hay. Our friends Kate, Ryan and Beth, Ryan's parents, and Grandma JoAnn came over. Strangely Avery woke up at 11:15 and stayed up for an hour so she rang in the New Year will all of us.

My KU hat almost fits! The shirt is too small though.
