Ava Evelyn

Ava finally had her 6 month check up Friday. She's about 7 1/2 months old already, but seeing that she was sick her whole sixth month of life we weren't able to bring her in. So Friday was the big day. She checked out great. She didn't even flinch when they rotated her hips so that was a huge blessing. After her fill of vaccinations we were able to walk out of there in good health and say "see you in a few months" rather than "see you next week" or "tomorrow" for that matter. God is so good and I praise Him daily for the health of my children. I know it will never be something I take for granted again.
I think I posted about her doctor appointment at Children's before we left for California. That visit went well too. The doctor told us she is doing great and he won't need to see us until October where he'll re-examine her hip to make sure there are no lasting effects.
So Ava is doing good and back to her healthy self. She's still in the 95% for her height and 60% for weight, weighing in at 17lbs 12oz. The exciting news on her behalf is she is now a sitter. Yep, she can finally sit by herself without assistance. However I will say that I think she much prefers to be held, but at least I know she can do it. Now if we only could get those teeth....
