Ava's Photo Shoot...


As any new mom knows, it's extremely hard not to take a million pictures of your new little babe. Also, as any new mom knows, you think each and every picture taken is the most gorgeous thing in the world :-) So here are a bunch of pictures of our beautiful Ava love. You'll notice that Ava is already the accessory queen with bows and flowers in her hair at all times...I mean you've gotta look your best even when you're a baby, right? I found these cute little flowers in my friend Carly's Etsy store, Chuckles and Grins, and couldn't pass them up!

















Look at those cheeks!! Ava is chunking up in record time. She has jumped from weighing just 6lbs 6oz to the 50th percentile. She loves to eat and is packing on the pounds. Although, I do miss my scrawny little newborn, there is nothing cuter than chubby baby rolls! She's still a pretty good sleeper. She sleeps for 9-10 hours at night then wakes up to eat for about 5 min and goes back to sleep for a long time (until Connor comes in and either yells "baby yas" at the top of his lungs...he hasn't mastered the concept of whispering yet, or violently shakes her cradle to get mommy and daddy to get out of bed...he knows how to get our attention that's for sure!) She's also pretty easy going during the day. The only cranky time she has is from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. It's like clockwork every single night and of course right when I'm trying to get dinner on the table. At least she's fine as long as I'm holding her...I use my baby sling every day and she loves it. And every once in a while I catch a glimpse of myself in the window while I have it on and notice how I look pregnant again and get a bit nostalgic. Don't worry though, not nostalgic enough to get pregnant again...not yet at least!

She looks adorable Sandy! It is fun to see my flowers on another baby's little head. So cute.

No, no, you need to wait until she's 4-5 months old to have another baby. That's really the best way to do it! HE HE HE!

SHE IS SO FREAKING CUTE!!! And those bows are so cute too.

I WANT TO EAT her little cheeks! So dang cute - and yeah she is just "pretty" good sleep 9-10 hours, I could only dream to have a baby that good. Lucky woman.

So we watched "Little Bill" today, and I thought of Mayah the whole time. I remember you told me about a time in Michigan where she was waving and saying hello to some "little bills."

Oh, and the whole jaundice thing you'll understand when you get the card in the mail. THey looked fine on the internet, but then when I picked them up it was a diferent story. Anyway.

Can I have AVA?
