No longer a toothless wonder!
So yesterday, Ava's daycare lady called to say she had taken a two hour nap in the morning and was working on almost a 3 hour afternoon nap and wanted to know if she should wake her up. I told her to go ahead but was dreading what 5 hours of sleep meant-She has been really clingy the last couple days and had bad diapers (sorry for too-much-info!) soI figured she was getting sick. When I went to pick her up from daycare, she was running a low fever but seemed happy overall. Well we went to Grandpa and Grandma Gardner's house for Grandma's birthday and I decided to do some investigating, hoping I would find a good reason for Ava not being herself..Sure enough I hit the jackpot! Ava finally has a tooth!!! Its the bottom left center one and its all the way through the gums but you can't see it when she smiles yet. I was pretty excited because I was beginning to wonder if she was ever going to get any teeth :-) Thankfully, she is still sleeping really well and not being cranky so once again, we have been blessed with an easy baby. Knock on wood- I hope she keeps it up! We leave for a wedding this weekend and then vacation on Tuesday so I hope she stays happy-who knows, maybe we will come back from vacation and she will have a few more teeth...

We went yesterday to get Ava's 9 month pictures and although it was hard to keep her sitting still long enough, we got some good pics!

Jumping on the Bandwagon
Well everyone else in the world blogs these days so I thought I might as well blog too..this will replace our "babysites" webpage since this is free and that is not :-) Up until now, I have documented Ava's progress on www.babysites.com/sites/avag so feel free to check it out if you want.. I will try to update at least weekly but with a 9 month old that gets into everything, 2 pets, and a husband, things get a little chaotic in our household sometimes!
So what's new with us lately? Well Ava had her 9 month check-up yesterday. She is 17lbs, 8 oz (25th percentile) and 28 inches long (75th percentile-ie longer than 75% of girl babies her age). Doc wasn't concerned that she is so skinny-she figures its just because she is so busy that she burns it all off! Ava crawls like a little maniac these days and stands up at every piece of furniture she can find. She walks along the couch and coffee table and will walk from room to room if you hold her hands..won't be long and she will be really be running the show! She loves to chase Chip and Emma (the cat and dog) and to splash in the dog's water bowl (I realize that's gross but she's so speedy I don't always catch her before she gets to it). She is on mostly table food now- she loves spaghetti, kiwi, goldfish crackers, scrambled eggs..pretty much anything we give her she will eat as long as its not baby food-little Miss Independent only wants "big girl" food these days... She is still our toothless wonder but her doc thought she saw one close to breaking through on the bottom so we will see how long that takes..
As far as Nick and I, Nick got a new job a few months ago and was working evenings but he finally got switched to daytime hours so that has been great! We are finally able to spend more time as a family and doing stuff with our friends. We are still in the house we bought a couple years ago and are almost done with all of our remodeling projects..Nick did the bathroom this winter and we are going to paint the outside this fall and then we are DONE-yippee!!! Nothing else too exciting going on in our life..we are looking forward to our California vacation and we leave in 2 weeks- we are headed to southern Cali to see all of Nick's extended family who will get to meet Ava for the first time..
