A few random things...
Ava sucked on her toes for the first time yesterday and it was so cute. She had brought her feet up before and looked at them but never actually stuck them in her mouth.
And just so you know before I tell you about this next thing, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK.
So anyway today I took Ava to get her ears pierced. I have been thinking about it for a few months and got some advice from mothers who daughters had it done early too. They can pierce their ears at 2 months. She is almost 6 months. Whether I do it now or when she 2 or 4, it will still hurt. I chose to do it now because I know in the next few months she will start grabbing at her ears more and pulling on them would hurt her more. Shes too young to understand and think about them and mess with them like a 2-4 to old would, and she wont be rough housing and playing where something could hurt it. Also I don't have to worry about her hair getting tangled in them if it was longer. She only cried for a minute and then she was fine-just like when she gets shots. I think she looks adorable and she hasn't fussed about them all day
one more thought that i just got reminded of, when you are a mother don't bother trying to keep clean. Whether its puke, poop, or drool, it will be there no matter how hard you try. just accept it:) (just got blew out on) lol
Ava has started sitting up almost overnight. I had to work last week (I only work like once a month) and when I set her down on friday she was just sitting up by herself. She loves to sit. She sometimes tips over still when she tries to look at the ceiling fan or twist around to look at the dogs but overall she sits great. It's very strange to watch her sit and play. All I can think is where is my baby going? Is she really 6 1/2 months old?
