6 months old, memorial day and our week

Ava grace is 6 months old!!! That seems crazy...I just had her a few weeks ago!! My poor baby is really sick on her half birthday :( she has been sick for about a month now (maybe a little longer!) she just can't seem to kick it! She was on antibiotics for a week and they really messed her little belly up and she would cry and then poop anytime she ate and now that she's off the antibiotics she has gotten sick again with cold like symptoms :( 

Sweet girl is so happy most of the time she smiles and "talks" constantly and I could just eat her up! 
Some facts about sweet girl: 
*She is sitting up really good, she still falls to the side a lot but she's trying :)
*We should start cereal in the next few weeks (when she finally kicks her sickness!)
*She is such a chunky monkey and me and Allie Kate call her "Chawnkey" and then Allie gets jealous and  
  asks me is she has "big ole chawnks on her legs" bless her skinny little heart :)
*She is still in a size 3 diaper, has been for over a month
*She doesn't say "mama" anymore and really hasn't since she said it those 5 or 6 times
*Such a happy baby always smiling and laughing
*sleeping all night (when she isn't sick)
*taking better naps 1-2.5 hours
*Rolls all over the place!
*LOVES her exercaucer!
*Wears anywhere from 6-12 month clothes, mostly 6-9 mos (still in 6 mos sleepers)




This sweet girl didn't get to wear her 6 months sticker yet because she was sick and ill and I felt bad changing her clothes back and forth just for a picture...I WILL get my sticker picture soon :)

Memorial day weekend we stayed home and just hung out, which was nice since we will be gone the next two weekends and both girls ended up sick anyways!
We went down to Nana's pool to swim on Memorial day then came home for naptime and headed to Gran and Papa's with the whole family to eat dinner! Uneventful but fun!






this is where Ava Grace took her nap in the shade while we swam :)



had to wake her up from her nap to go down to Gran and Papa's and she was not happy...and Daddy was photo-bombing her!


Riding bikes at Gran and papa's house :)





Ava Grace was already scheduled for her 6 month check up appt. Tuesday morning and it kind of turned into a sick visit instead :( She weighed 16 pounds 6 oz and was 25.5 inches long (he said she was in the 50th percentile). He tested her for mycoplasma (we all ended up having) which is walking pneumonia and she tested positive so it was 5 more days on an antibiotic and probiotics to help with her little belly :) best part NO SHOTS!!! But we have to go back in a couple of weeks for those!
 
Poor thing fell asleep while waiting on lab results in Dr.Bill's office


two sick babies helping me cook dinner :)

We have been packing for the beach this week and Allie Kate helped me lay out her and Ava's matching clothes :) Bless her, packing is kinda stressful because she wants to wear or try on all of her and Ava's clothes...you can see how this might pose a problem :)
Allie Kate has gotten very into lining her toys up to block walkways...she either lines them up in a straight line or just puts them in a big pile but she does this outside with all her riding toys and with all her baby doll furniture inside! Oh and that is her pallet she made for herself in the floor to lay on and watch Sofia the 1st (she has been really tired since she has been sick!)
Daddy wanted Allie Kate to have a baseball cap for the beach, he said "She needs either navy or red" and so we compromised and she got white with her initials :)

Friday (today) we went to Brio's for Julie's early birthday lunch since we will be at the beach for her actual birthday



My silly willy :)

Just to look back and remember this precious and hilarious time in Allie Kate's life:

We were laying in bed and Allie Kate jumped up and said  "I'm not laying by Ava grace... her slobber stinks like really it does"

She told me "Ava's for sale momma" :) 

When we taught Sunday school I asked kids if they knew my name and Allie said "her name is mommy" :)

Allie Kate just now likes to watch tv and her favorite show is Sophia the first and she wants to watch it ALL the time OVER and over and over again!

We were in the shower and she just randomly started singing "everyday I'm shuffling"

She hollered for me to come in her bedroom "help mommy there's a bug in my room...HELP!" it was a gnat :)

Got mad at her daddy and told him "you're mean and I'm distappointed at you"

She told a lady at a birthday party "that's my daddy he's mean to me all the times" 

She told me to "move over ya big hog" hahah I don't know where she has heard this

Busy week!


We taught our first time at Sunday school this past Sunday and we had 3 year olds :) It was wild...Heath even made the comment that if we had to do this too often he may not go back to church :)

After Sunday school we went to Emma's 5th bday party and it was a pool party!




Ava was partied out :)

Tuesday we met the Headley's at the splashpad to play

Me and Ava were sitting in the water by the piano and I looked down and she was asleep :)


Wednesday we met Addie and Maci up at the splash pad to play (this time Ava stayed home with Nan)


Getting a tan :)


Thursday one of my oldest friends (I guess I should say someone I have been friends with the longest) came down to visit from Huntsville and brought her little girl Heidi (who is a year older than Allie Kate) and her son (who is a couple of months younger than Ava Grace)...and Allie was in HEAVEN! She loves Heidi and they played great together!

sliding down the slide into their pool :) Yes, we are redneck!


cleaning off the swing so the could swing :)


Eating watermelon...no eyes in sight  :)

After Heather, Heidi and Graham left we went down to Nana's house because she was having a pool party for the end of the school year and Allie had SOOOO much fun!


Allie Kate and Heidi :) Allie Kate says "Heidi is cute and has curly ques" :)


She loves Jenna!


Allie Kate thinks she is just as old as these girls :) there was a DJ there and she literally danced for about 30 minutes before I had to drag her home (she was not happy! she hadn't had a nap and it was late!)


Ava eating her toes :)


Sweet chub a lub!
