Ava is Eight Months Old

It's hard to believe that Ava is now eight months old. Time flies!
She has been super-smiley the past few days. Doug said she couldn't wait to get down and play when he dropped her off at day care recently. A few days ago, one of her teachers said that they haven't seen her smile more than they saw her smile that day. She is a happy little girl.
She's crawling faster these days, too. 'Starting to get into things, too. She is starting to pull her books down from the stairway "shelves", now.
She loves books. When I recently read the "Touch and Feel" book to her, she kissed each animal on each page without prompting. That book wasn't previously her favorite, but she seems to enjoy it now, along with "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?". She sits amazingly still for books, believe it or not. As active as she is, she sits for a few books at a time.

For weeks now, when I say "Ava, can you turn the page?", she will take her left hand and turn the page of the book if I lift it a bit for her. She is beginning to know one book so well, she knows when the page should be turned, so she turns it without being asked.

Amazing that she'll be a year old before we bat our eyelashes...










We love you, little one!

Ava is truly gorgeous! How fun to see the monthly pictures, they will be a treasure forever. You know you are locked in now though - it's a tradition you will have to keep for all the other little Carey's to come. It seems like from these pictures that Ava's hair is really starting to grow in thicker and longer. She is PRECIOUS! Can't wait to see you over Christmas! Molly
