Jon has been out of town this week so I’ve taking care of Ava all week. Single parents have it rough! I went into the bathroom for a few minutes and when I came out Ava was gone. Then I heard banging on the second floor. She can crawl up a full flight of stairs! I can’t stop thinking about what would have happened if she had fallen at the top. There’s a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs now. The bars double as a track for her car.
Ava had her one year wellness checkup yesterday. She completely charmed the doctor. The doctor kept remarking on how expressive she is. / Ava weighs 21.5 lbs at 50% and 31 inches at 87%. My tall skinny girl.
While Jon was away I weaned Ava. She cried the first two nights, but last night she only woke up once and there were no tears. These stages are so bittersweet for me. I don’t want her nursing all night and I can’t wait to get sleep in more than two hour chunks again. But I miss my little baby.
Wow, climbing all the way up the stairs. I am impressed. Tall, cute, and athletic. And loves books. Terrific.
She’s going to be such a reader. Just like her parents.
