Movie Day

Today it was very cold and rainy. So much for the flip flops and short sleeves we were in yesterday... I had to work this morning for a few hours so I welcomed a lazy afternoon. We decided to rent a movie and lounge around in our pj's. Ava and I lasted about 5 minutes...here we are "watching" Dan in Real Life...

David said it was a good movie. Maybe one day I will actually stay awake to watch a whole movie. I would usually just rather sleep!

Ava to the Doctor

Ava had her 2 month old doctor's appointment on Monday. She weighed in at 12 pounds! She has almost doubled her birth weight! She had to get three shots. She handled it really well...me, not so much! I hated every minute of it! We are so thankful to have a beautiful, healthy little girl!

Happy Easter!

Ava's first Easter has been so much fun! We got up early this morning (like we do every morning... ) to see what the Easter bunny left for Ava.

Then we headed to church to celebrate the real meaning of Easter! We had such an awesome Easter service! Here's Ava in her Easter dress... Turn your head sideways..I can't figure out how to rotate it!

Daddy's Weekend

I was on call this weekend so David and Ava were on their own for awhile. It is so awesome to watch your husband become a "daddy". Ava already has him wrapped around her finger! That's the way it's supposed to be! :)


I had to go to work for a little while this morning, so David had to get Ava ready for church. He did have some backup (Aunt Shannon came to supervise), but when I got to church I was so impressed. Here's Ava in her new Carolina blue dress. GO HEELS!!

Sleeping Beauty

It looks like our little night owl has finally figured out the whole sleep concept. For the past 3 nights, Ava has slept through the night!! Praise God!!

Busy Weekend!

Our weekend started Thursday night with a baby shower for Tieshia. Pastor Damon and Tieshia are expecting a baby boy in April. We are so excited that Ava and baby David will be so close in age! I didn't take the camera (I'm still getting used to blogging) but baby David got lots of great gifts!

I was off Friday and Ava and I played dress up. I discovered that she can already wear her 3 month outfits! She is getting so big! Here she is modeling her cute ladybug outfit.

Friday night Abbie, Chris, Maggie, and Cory came over. The guys had fun talking about fishing and boats while the girls talked about Disney World! Abbie was my "Disney buddy" before David came along. Chris doesn't get the whole Disney thing yet, but we are still working on him! :)

On Saturday we decided to go to Crabtree for the 3rd weekend in a row...I am still desperately trying to find cute clothes that fit! Ava is such a good little shopper.

Saturday night we went over to my grandparent's house to celebrate my mom's birthday. Here's Ava with the birthday girl... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIGI!

We tried, once again, to make it to church Sunday morning. Ava slept really well Saturday night and was very happy Sunday morning as we were dressing her in her cute little ballerina dress. We got all the way to church without any problems. As we were walking to the door I actually thought to myself, "we finally made it". About that time, David turned to me and said, "We've got to go back home." When I got to the car and looked at Ava, her cute little dress was covered in spit up! Not only did it get on her dress, but it was all over her car seat, in her hair, on her white lacy socks, and (sorry this is gross) coming out of her nose!! Needless to say, we didn't make it into church this Sunday but we were darn close...Maybe next week! Here is Ava before the spit up incident...

Back to Work...

Ava and I both survived my first day back to work! It was EXTREMELY hard to leave her this morning, but I knew she was in good hands. My wonderful "Nana" is keeping her for me to work 2 1/2 days a week...(that is all I can stand to do!) Thanks to everyone who said a little prayer for me today! I needed it! ;)
