Our little 4 month old!

Today our little Ava Grace turned 4 months old!  She is such a sweet, sweet baby that LOVES to be held!!! Momma can't do much without having to go pick her up.  I remember Caroline was a little more laid back, didn't mind her car seat and would hang out in her bouncy seat or bumbo for awhile before getting fussy.  Ava is a different story.  She can only handle the bouncy seat for a small amount of time, she never really cared for her lounger or boppy pillow and heaven forbid the car come to a complete stop at a red light or even a stop sign for that matter.  She's not a huge fan of traveling but it could be worse. Once again this girl is on a tight schedule just like C was and a little less patient.  We've started rice cereal and about to start some veggies. She's in a size two diaper and in 3-6 and just plain 6 month clothing.  She's bigger than Caroline.  Ava had almost a whole pound on C when she was born at 7 lbs 11 oz and has continued on that path throughout her first four months of life.  Right now she is sleeping from about 9-7:30 or 8 a.m.  She's been in her crib now for about 7 weeks.  She is very peaceful in there and Mom and Dad are getting some good sleep now too.  She is rolling from her tummy to her back and her back to her side which eventually goes all the way to her tummy especially when sleeping.  (Gasp in horror) Yes she's pretty much a tummy sleeper, lets not even get started on how I think things have gotten completely out of hand and psychotic when it comes to babies and how everything kills them, that's a different post though.  :) All in all we have a wonderful baby once again.  I'm in awe sometimes of how different these two girls are, and then one second later it's like I'm looking at C again.  Minus the dark brown hair.  Ava has almost white to a golden blonde hair which almost looks like it has a red hint at times.  It's definitely going to be a lot lighter than C's hair. I love my little family so much, I feel like my heart could just burst at times! Life is good! Tomorrow we go for 4 month shots (boo) so I'll post her stats and a few more pictures later. Until then, here's what was looking back and fussing at me off and on throughout this post.

About 3 months behind!

Shame on me! Ava is 3 1/2 months and I haven't blogged once.  It just goes to show that two children take things to a whole new level.  Life has definitely been crazy, but a wonderful crazy since Ava joined us.  I have a ton of pictures to upload and dump on here, so as I'm getting some time throughout my day I'm sitting down to do just that. For example, up to this point I have gotten up about 10 times and come back. Night time blogging is out of the question when Scott gets home. No computers, phones, or texting allowed. He can't stand it when my face is planted in the computer or on my phone. It's family time.  And when the girls go down... it's relaxation time for the two of us.  I will try to be better, but mostly this will be my "picture dump" more than anything.  With an almost 3 year old, 3 1/2 month old and a house under construction... the one thing I need more of is time... or more than one me!! :) Until then... enjoy pictures of these little punkins and a few I haven't shared from the newborn shoot, I have to brag about Crystal Lynn, what an amazing photographer!!

So fitting!! Our little princess!!

I love the color in these!!
