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.
