Pool

The girls and I ventured to the pool a week or so ago. I was a little nervous taking them by myself but it was just fine. Ava loved being in her float and Sophie was clingy, which was fine with me, and she liked the baby pool.



Ava had her nine month check-up and she weighed 19 lbs. 3 oz. and was 27 3/4 in. tall and in great health. Sophie didn't weigh that much til she was a year old and Sophie was taller at nine months.

Ava is still not crawling. She does like stand up and hold on to things. Although she doesn't really crawl she still manages to get around by kind of scooting. It is hard to explain how she does it but I can put her down in one place and a minute later she has moved to the other side of the room. Sophie was already crawling and cruising around furniture by this age. I guess second children can be slower. Ava loves watching and laughing at Sophie and she loves playing with toys on the floor. She also babbles all the time. She loves her mommy too and won't let anyone else hold her. She is such sweetie.
