It's her half birthday!!

This week Ava will be 6 months old! Its hard to believe we are half way through her first year! She is starting to sit up on her own more and reaches for us. She smiles, laughs and talks to us all the time. She is doing great with sleeping at night. She goes to sleep at 10:00 and sleeps till 7:00, we can lay her down now and she will put herself to sleep pretty easily, sometimes just needing a little patting on the back and the last two nights needing nothing at all, just quickly feel asleep on her own. My favorite things right now is the big smile she gives when I peek my head in her crib to get her out in the morning. She's just ready to greet the day with such a cheerful spirit. Here's some pics over the past few weeks:
