1 month old

Ava Grace is 1 month old! Time has really flown by and she continues to change everyday! In her 1st month, Ava Grace has gradually learned to enjoy baths, been shopping, and been to lunch with several friends. She has also started smiling when she hears our voices! It is the small things that make your day, you know? Ava Grace has actually grown out of 2 bedtime outfits and a few pairs of socks. Since she has grown a little bigger, Ava Grace has been able to wear some of her mommy's dresses (yes, Cece kept these dresses over the years). Isn't she cute (see picture)?

She was supposed to have her 1 month doctor's appt. this past Wed., but her doctor was out sick. So, we are going to the doctor on Monday. We are looking forward to seeing how much she has grown, how much weight she has gained, and how her hips are maturing. We'll let you know!

There is going to be another wedding!!

Congratulations to Kevin and Megan!! Kevin popped the question last night and Megan happily accepted the proposal!! :) We are so excited for both of them (and Sydney) and are looking forward to their Big Day!!

Reading is fun!!

You would have to assume that Ava Grace has lost of books already. That seems to be the gift among educators (Ava Grace's Cece, Cece's friends, and Ava Grace's mommy)!! I believe that she is starting to enjoy reading (which we try to do at least once a day) since the pages turn frequently and the colors are bright on each page. I hope and pray this continues when she begins school one day!!

Olympic Bound?

OK...so this is probaby very premature, but Tim and I wonder if we have a future Olympian here. Ava Grace has shown some interest in softball and swimming. As you can see from her pictures, her Daddy is coaching her around 3rd base - they really were yelling "Go Home, Go Home"! It was quite funny! Ava Grace has also learned about the breaststroke. She flails her arms so fast that Tim thinks she is already in training! I guess we'll see what type of star she becomes one day!

Swing Time

Thank you to Aunt Deb, Brittany, and Rebecca for bringing me a swing to hang out in!! I am really starting to like it! My mommy says a BIG thank you too since she can actually do some things around the house without me crying or in her arms!!

There's going to be wedding....

CONGRATULATIONS to Jonna and Brendan!! They are now engaged to be married! We are so excited for you and can't wait to see where this new adventure takes you!

Welcome to Bathtime!!!

So, Ava Grace has not been fond of taking baths in the first few weeks. Since her umbilical cord has fallen off, I would think it would be more fun to take a bath in her little tub (with a sling of course) rather than sponge bathe in the sink. Well, as you can see, Little Miss Priss wasn't very keen on either idea! But doesn't she look cute when she is swaddled with her hooded towel!
