Sippy Cup time

While she still can't quite drink out of it, I could not resist letting her try. How cute was it to find a cup with her name on it too.

Tummy Time

Ava is much better on her tummy now. Ever since she has figured out how to roll over (about 2 months ago) she doesn't stay on it for too long. But I snapped this shot real quick to prove she doesn't mind tummy time anymore.

Peas Please

I was getting bored with rice cereal, and I am pretty sure Ava was too, so we decided to spice things up a bit last week and introduce her to some new baby food. Even though I know it is a total myth that if you introduce a baby to vegetables first they will have a preference for them when they are older, I could not resist trying. She needs all the help she can get in the taste department since her mother HATES veggies. So I was cruel and gave her peas first! I find peas detestable, but you can see from the video that she enjoyed them!

Activity Center time

Our neighbors are lending us quite the contraption for Ava. We refer to it as the "Activity Center" since "Activity Gym" has already been claimed. You should see our house now; it is a maze of bouncy seats, play gyms, bumbo seats, and swings. However, Ava has really been enjoying the Center, as she can stand and look around. There's a short video-WARNING, turn down the volume so you don't hear her obnoxious parents in the background.

Rice Cereal Anyone?

Ava turned 5 months old yesterday and we decided to give her some rice cereal to see how she liked it. Well...she liked it. The first couple of bites ended up all over the tray and bib, but pretty soon after she kept opening her mouth for more. She even wanted to hold her own spoon as you can see.

Hat or No Hat?

You decide, she seems happy, either way!

Daddy's Graduation

We attended Jason's Graduation ceremony this past weekend at SDSU and Ava was so proud of her dad. She definitely enjoyed the ceremony more than her daddy did, all those new noises and sounds, she was just mesmerized! Here's a couple of shots of the proud family.
