Keeping up with Ava

Ava is 7 1/2 months now. Once we hit the four month mark time began to fly. Ava started moving and grooving. It all started with her ability to roll over. Then, she started to get around the room by getting up on her hands and knees, thrusting forward, perfecting the caterpillar crawl - throw in a roll or two and whalla...the girl can get to anything. The other day I turned on the TV monitor to check on her and to my surprise she was standing in her crib - slightly leaned over chewing on the rail. I almost fell over and gasped. That night, needless to say, Chris lowered the crib four inches! However, it is adorable to see her head poking over the crib rail when she is ready to wake up from her naps and first thing in the morning.
