Ava's 6 mth Update

Ava turned 6 months old on the 14th of November. I am not slow to post this update, I just really wanted to get the update in the mail prior to putting it on the blog. But a mix up with Shutterfly and a delay in stuffing envelopes makes this post closer to Ava's 7 mth birthday - but such is life these days.

At 6 mths, Ava is a happy little baby. She has the biggest grin and loves to people watch. She is still a Momma's girl, but we are working on that. She loves to eat but still has issues nursing longer than 5 minutes at a time. She still does not sleep all night, and the closest we have come to such a feat is a stretch of 5.5 hrs two nights. Usually she sleeps about 3.5 hrs at a time, wakes up to nurse and promptly goes back to sleep.

At 6 mths old, Ava weighed 15 lbs 4 oz (36%) and was 24.75 inches long (18%). She is still consistently about an inch shorter and a lb lighter than her sister was at this age. She's short and squat...sound familiar? :)

For grins, here is Carli's 6 mth update. Still think they look so much a like? Nah, I didn't think so!
