Avery's first word is Mama! She has been kind of saying the sounds for a while, but now when you ask her to say it she repeats! Yeah! She has even done it in the company of others so she hasn't made me look like a liar.. You know when your child has learned something new & cute and does it all the time at home, but when you go somewhere and ask your child to do it they just look at you like they have no idea what you are talking about! HA!
Avery, Mommy is so excited you are on target for speech sounds so far! What a great Birthday present to Mommy! THANK YOU!
I do need to call EI to get an evaluation so that all paperwork is in place for real speech after surgery... I know from experience that it is imperative to get help sooner than later. Kids brains are wired like a computer and if they go years learning all the sounds incorrectly it takes years to undo and rewire the brain to function properly when hearing language!
Well Ava it's been an exciting couple of weeks.. hmmm lets see. Madeline had her first bee sting and it was a bad one so now we need to carry epipens with us, Hayden got large fishing lure in the back of his head and his first trip to the ER, Gum in the dryer... all over the dryer, Gigi got her fingers smashed in the hinge of the front door- no broken bones, mom got a flat tire thanks to a nail, your left ear is infected so we use drops and mom has strep again.... We survived!
Dad has been gone now for 1 month.. we are 1/4 of the way done.. We cannot wait until December 10th.
Funny things you do at 8 Months!!!!! You thrash around your crib... literally I hear you bouncing around in there.. one day you got up with a red mark on your forehead. You like to pinch and scratch things especially faces. You also think it's a game and do not get scared or upset and scary mommy faces. You think it's one big game. I tried to teach you "nice touches", but the minute you get your hands free you go right for my face! Naughty baby!
We think you say na na na nam for your bottle. We also think you know you are saying Hi, but not sure yet! You rock on all fours in the middle of the night when you want to eat... yes you are still getting up on occasion. Still love laurie burkner a lot. Not interested in any other shows yet.. You are scooting, but not officially crawling yet.. any day now!

Boy, I thought getting strep twice was bad enough! a fishing lure in the back of the head!!! and then everything else and you are doing this by yourself!! you are truly SUPERMOM!!! Where is your husband and he is gone till december? I hope you get to feeling much better very soon! I dont know how you do it! Sydney also loved to pinch my face, arms, and it hurt bad! when is her palate repair?
Yea Avery! What a wonderful feeling, Michelle, to have your beautiful little girl calling for you! The pinching that Avery is doing sounds just like Emma also - she loves to pinch my face, arm, hair, etc. But not only me, she'll do it in her crib, carseat, and stroller also - just her way to feel the world I guess. If I get a few scratches along the way, the battle scars are well worth her discoveries! Good luck with all, sounds like you've had a very eventful time recently, and all on your own!
Yikes, you are busy! When it rains, it pours, huh? Keep up the good fight. Someday you'll look back on these times and think...well, you will still probably remember them as being hectic and crazy...but you will probably wonder where that time went! It's amazing how far Avery has come. She's really going to have a heads up when it comes to development. I can't believe she's saying "mama" already! Tommy's not even close, but he's a face grabber and it is so cute, I have a hard time stopping him.
