Ava is on the move.. she is officially a crawler and is now pulling herself up to a standing position on everything. It won't be long before she is walking everywhere. We had her 9 month check-up and she is now 29 inches long and weighs 18 pounds 4 ounces. The doctor gave us the go ahead to start giving her table foods so she is now a huge mess at supper time but she is loving her expanded diet.
We had the opportunity today to visit a local farm for some Fall festival fun. She loved the animals and the activities.
I am a happily married woman to the man of my dreams. We are growing our family and recently welcomed our first baby into the world, Ava Christine. My husband, Steven, and I recently moved out to Alachua Florida where we live on 26 acres. We have a dream to one day own a farm that will allow us to be completely sustainable. The purpose of this blog is to document some of life's simplest joys.. having a baby, being new parents, newlyweds, and working on our dream of owning a farm.

Wow how time flies....
It's amazing that our baby girl is almost 9 months old! I have been a bad Mommy and haven't kept up with my blogging but I am going to attempt to revive my blog. Ava is doing so much these days. She can now sit up on her own like a champ, army crawl backwards very well, and is finally learning to master the forward army crawl. She says "mama" and "dada" but kinda randomly so we can't claim those as her first words just yet. She loves our dog, Dixie, and gets all giggly whenever Dixie comes around. Her favorite foods thus far as pears and believe it or not she loves sucking on cucumbers (even though her Mommy hates cucumbers). Her favorite toys are currently trying to take apart the playmat and her jumperoo. She loves to be bounced and scared (again contrary to her Mommy who hates anything jumping out at her... Ava thinks it's hilarious for someone to jump out and scare her). I suspect she will be walking sometime soon and then we are really in trouble. She is very curious and loves to explore new areas (especially those that are supposed to be off limits).
She is our world. She makes us smile and laugh every single day. It's such a joy to watch her grow and learn more each day.
