Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Today was Avery's 6 month check up.  She did great!  She's 27" long, 18lbs-9oz and her head is 44.5cm.  Everything ranks high percentiles, so we're happy it all matches. :)  Keith came along and I was worried her screaming with the shots would really bother him.  Luckily, she really didn't cry that hard or for very long.  She was over it by the time the nurse put on the last band aid!  We were all rewarded with a lollipop for doing so well.  Avery quickly spit out her paci for a taste of that dum-dum!
Her personality is really coming out these days.  She's a babbling fool.  I wake up in the morning and can hear her in her crib saying "Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.", obviously talking to her stuffed animals.  I was trying to convince Keith that she was actually saying "ma-ma-ma-ma", but because her nose is blocked it sounds more like "ba-ba-ba-ba", you know what I mean right?  Yeah, he wasn't buying it either.  Oh well.
She's sitting up like a champ.  This morning she was sitting on the floor and totally face-planted onto the floor.  She looked up at me, not sure if she should cry.  Luckily I laughed and reassured her she was fine and she bought it and smiled and proceeded to eat the blanket.
Speaking of eating things, she's constantly putting EVERYTHING into her mouth.  She'll follow my hand around until she finally grabs hold and starts sucking on my palm.  Not my finger, not my knuckle....my palm.  We expect teeth to be sprouting anytime now, but we've been expecting them for the past 2 months!  I hope, for her sake and our sake that they just appear one day without too much fuss.  Then, finally, she can get back at that kid at daycare that bit her a few months ago!
We did find out some good news at the pediatrician today....Avery will be able to have cake for her birthday!!!  I was trying to figure out how we'd have a non-dairy birthday, but the pediatrician wants us to give her table food with milk/butter, cake and frosting included to help build her immunity.  Just no bottles/sippy cups of milk until she's properly introduced to it after a year.
That's about all of the excitement for now.  Here are some pics and another video of Avery being....well, funny.  Enjoy!

Don't mind her fraggle rock hair in the video, it was pulled up all day, and when I took out the bow, it stayed!
