Well Christmas has come and gone..and Ava had a great first one. Between Us, My parents and Kenny's parents...she is one spoiled ROTTEN little baby girl. I do believe she has EVERY toy in Target and Walmart, however she still seems to find my old insurance card more interesting than anything, go figure. But Santa also brought her new tooth for Christmas! Its one of her canines, she now has 4. It honestly didn't seem to bother her too much. She is actually more fussy today than she has been in a while.
But this past month has been FULL of new things for her. She has learned to hold her bottle (while laying down still) and feed herself with her two fingers, she is holding on to everything and walking, saying Ma-ma, Da-da, Pa-pa, and Na-na although she isnt sure of what she says yet. It comes out at random times :-) She has also mastered putting herself to sleep. Now when she is tired I can just lay her down and she will usually just fall asleep, sometimes she will fuss but not for long. Usually at night she is the best, she knows when she is tired and she will go to sleep like a good girl. Its amazing, and it didn't take that long for her to learn. I'm glad we decided to do that. I struggled with it because so many people have strong opinions against "crying it out". But she is almost 10 months old now and I believe she should learn how to go to sleep on her own. I don't want to have to rock her to sleep when she is 2 and 3 years old. Kenny wasn't too happy with it, he had a hard time (he sat on the stairs and I thought HE would cry listening to her cry) but he eventually came around and is glad we did it too. He still has trouble when she does fuss a little though.
I can't wait to see what she learns over the next few months. Its hard to believe she will be walking soon!
Here are some pictures from Christmas.
