Seems like with every day, Ava is doing something new now. She's on this kick where she LOVES to walk, even though she can only balance while standing for a maximum of 5.6 seconds. :)

Currently, Chris and I are working on the sleep routine. Ava wakes probably around 10 times during the night (between 8p-7a) so we need to make some changes. Mama is getting tired of getting up so often still. So, we are on a strict bedtime routine regiment consisting of bathtime, massage, and books. I'm also trying to wean her night time feedings. Hopefully, this will work and we can then work on not having to rock her to sleep. *sigh* It seems like a lot of work, but something needs to change.

Oh, and hopefully the sleep will just naturally get better considering she's teething (she now has 6! teeth) and she's hit some developmental milestones--clapping, feeding self, seperation anxiety, pulls to standing, took first crawl-steps, and is "walking". I'd want my mama too at night if I were going through all this!

Anyways, some cute pics and a movie!

I have a book called The No-cry Sleep Solution, if you'd like to borrow it.

I would love to borrow that book, Angie! I've actually been looking for it at the library. :)
