Month Nine

Baby Ava,

We usually start these updates by making a list of all the new things you've done in the last month. This month there weren't very many new things, just things you're doing better, or faster, or with more enthusiasm.

You can stand up now for a few seconds without support. You articulate more, saying things like dada and baba. You love to eat everything you can get your hands on: food, paper, toys, crickets, people. You can drink through straws. You have three baby dolls that you love very much. Your favorite place is Soren's room, where she has a new bunkbed - she's waiting for you to grow up so you can sleep in there with her. You like to brush your teeth in the morning when everyone is getting ready.

You have so much energy. You do everything with gusto, and you love to be involved in everything we are doing. We take you on lots of walks and play games and read books. Your favorite books are "That's Not My Robot" and the baby faces book. You're still enjoying Peggy's house and all the boys there. And everyone enjoys you, all the time. Even when you pee on Daddy. *Kiss*
