Avila is FIVE months old. Seriously? Having four kids makes time go by so much faster! I swear she was just born! Avila is such a fun girl. She rarely cries or fusses. {Mostly when Adam is holding her, really!} She is a lot more distracted while eating than Macie and Jacob were. Which, probably explains why she isn't as huge as they were! She's more like Noah was. She is a very busy girl, already. On her actual 5 month birthday, I sat her up and let go, and she sat there for a long time. I don't think she even fell over, I just picked her up after a while. She has very good balance! At her last Dr. appointment she was in the 75th percentile for weight. When he said that I was like, wait, what? My child is actually on a chart? It was a little strange to me! She's our little runt child, but still a big girl! We love Miss Avila! She has started to put anything and everything within her reach into her mouth. She has eaten a few papers, and tries to eat everything else! Her gums are usually swollen, a little tooth will start to poke through, but then go back down. It's a little frustrating. But, she's pretty good through it all. She cried for the first time at church this past Sunday. Seriously, she doesn't cry much! She loves her brothers and sister. Macie makes her giggle the most, but everyone gets a great smile whenever she sees them! She is such a great baby and we love watching her. She's such a cuddle bug that I could hold her all day long. And I pretty much do. They are only little for a while, and after a while, they don't want to be held at all. Why not take advantage of it??
