Eight Months Old!

Avery turned eight months old on New Years Day! We don't have any new stats for her until she turns 9 months old, but she can do lots of new tricks now. She did some crawling for the first time during New Years weekend, but now seems to be preoccupied with pulling up all by herself, so not much crawling lately. Or when she does, she goes backwards! She is still such a happy little girl, laughs and smiles constantly. She is getting a head full of blond hair that she loves to play with when she's sleepy or eating. Avery can feed herself very well, she loves Gerber puffs, Cheerios, cheese, and bananas. She and Harrison have a lot of fun playing together and making each other laugh. He is such a good brother to her, he never gets jealous and he shares his toys with her often without us having to ask ("Here Avery, here!"). She can say "mama" and says something pretty close to "dada" we think.

This picture is hilarious, it looks like she's pointing to the antlers and saying, "Mom, come on now....".
