A Few Firsts

Ava has experienced a few firsts this week in her little life.

On Tuesday night I was trying to get ready for church and Ava started getting fussy. I tried all the usual soothers like her passy, the swing, etc. and just had no luck. So I tried to find something on tv that may get her attention. I flipped past the Disney channel and "Finding Nemo" was on. We have played the "Finding Nemo the Musical" soundtrack for her since she was in my belly (we even made a last minute trip last July just to see this show!) Amazingly, she sat right there in her little seat and watched about an hour of the movie! Her first Disney movie...a big first!!

Then on Wednesday I was off and we tried out Ava's big girl stroller. I have to admit that I was being a little nosy...we have a neighbor who had a baby about the same time we had Ava. I saw her out in her driveway with her baby in a "big girl stroller". So Ava and I decided to experiment. I put her in the stroller and she just grinned! She loves it because she can actually see the world around her.

On Friday Ava's Gigi bought her a new toy. Ava loves her "excersaucer" even though she can't quite sit up yet. Here she is in it for the first time...she is thrilled about it... :)

Today the weather was so nice so we decided to take Ava to the park and ride the "choo-choo train". It was so much fun watching her! She loved everything about the ride except for the sun being in her eyes. She has hated the sun being in her eyes since she was born and is very dramatic about it. Luckily, we thought ahead and brought her big sunhat. What a fun day!
