Love those baby blues!!

 

Developmental eval

Ava had an evaluation with a developmental therapist. We found out that Ava's delayed areas are in gross motor (which we already knew) and also in adaptive areas (self care like feeding). On the up side she was right on with her cognitive and social areas. We will see a dr next week who works with kids who have delays. I will update on this at that time.

11 months old

Ava is 11 months old today, she weighs 17 lbs 3 oz (10th percentile) and 27 1/4 inches long (15th percentile). She is growing. YAY! Ava isn't crawling, but is starting to at least rock and will stay on her knees for longer than 10 seconds, before she rolls over. She likes to stand while holding on to someones hands, but isn't taking steps yet. Ava moves by scooting on her back or rolling. Ava likes her 24 calorie milk and some fruits and even less vegetables. I have been attempting to teach Ava the sign for "all done," but she prefers spitting her food at me when she has had enough. Totally gross! She loves blowing raspberries and bubbles. Ava got her first tooth on March 11th. It is the right middle one on the bottom. I randomly stuck my finger on her gums, because I do that regularly to check for teeth and was quite surprised when I felt it. I hope they are all that easy!

 

Update

I finally got the blog updated for the last month and a half. I have been busy making hairbows during nap time, and spending time on the computer hasn't sounded applealing to me. I have been considering starting an etsy shop, because Ava has too many bows as it is, and for some reason I can't stop making them. Enjoy! I will let you know when the shop opens. There are some really cute bows!

New sweater

Yesterday Ava had an evaluation with the physical therapist with the Infant Toddler Program, Ava scored low enough that she qualifies for services with the program. Since Ava is not making any attempts to crawl, we are starting to stronging encourage her to start. We frequently put her in all fours and she almost always rolls out of it. She will eventually get there. The beautiful purple sweater was made by Ava's aunty Corey.

10 months old

Ava is 10 months old. She weighs 16 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long. Ava still isn't crawling or making any attempts at it. She will be having an evaluation with the Idaho infant toddler program, in the near future. Ava says mama and dada. She "growls" when you growl at her. It is quite hilarious. Noah loves to growl back and forth with her. Ava has an incredibly ticklish belly, and giggles loudly when tickled. Ava still doesn't tolerate any food with texture. She is strictly on puree and the occasional bite of solid (or paper which she is attracted to) she bites and attempts to swallow, she gags and throws up. Its lovely! Ava has become very picky when it comes to the fruits and vegetables she will eat or not. She likes anything with bananas and dislikes anything that is green.

 

Tummy Time

Ava finally tolerates being on her tummy. She might become mobile after all.

 

GI follow-up

Ava had her follow-up with the GI dr today, and the dr put Ava back on 24 cal milk to help her grow. Most likely she will be on that until she is 1 year old. She also started taking an appetite stimulant. Hopefully, this will help her grow!
