Soooo many milestones!

Happy new year everyone! I have been a bit slack and am sticking to the excuse that my time is spent running after a very active baby! Over the last few months we have seen so many changes in Ava as she grows, learns and develops. She is like a sponge, sucking up everything she sees and hears around her and her fine motor skills, strength and co-ordination (already looking way better than Mum's) mean nothing can be left lying around the house no matter how big or small!

She is so active I can't keep up, she crawls up and down the step into our hallway and kitchen with ease and crawls over and under Chewy like he's a play gym. She talks incessantly to Chewy, says Mummum and Dada all the time or MUUUUM when she wants something. She cries and has a tantrum when we say no to her or try to pry keys, mobile, remote, iPod or any other items we have left within reach.

Here's some of Ava's big milestones since my last post!
  • 15 Oct - first tooth finally through
  • 3 Nov - started sleeping through the night fairly consistently (Except when teething poor pet)
  • 26 Nov - started crawling at Grandma' house!
  • 27 Nov - Mum & Dad have their first night out whil Ava spends the whole afternoon & night with Grandma (Thanks Grandma - pity Dad got food poisoning and we had to come home a bit early LOL!)
  • 4 Dec - Mum's first night out, Ava & Daddy having a night in
  • 25 Dec - First Christmas, loving her new interactive toys, wrapping paper and all the yummy Christmas trimmings.
  • 1 Jan - started pulling herself up in the porta cot
  • 5 Jan - 3 top teeth appear and she returns to sleeping through the night again YAY!
  • 6 Jan - Now pulling herself up on all the furniture with ease
  • 8 Jan - Full Daddy daughter day while Mum heads to the Blue Mountains. She now seems to be a real Daddy's girl after a very fun day!
This really has been the best year of my life and I am so excited about all the new milestones and just enjoying our precious Ava and family life in 2011!
