Martini...shaken, not stirred.....

Katie and GGPa with Ava

Happy birthday to mom, and no, the martini is NOT Ava's!

Gpa love....

Here's Gpa Ed giving Ava a horsey ride with Max waiting for his turn. Two seconds after this picture was taken, Ava was fast asleep sitting up on Gpa Ed's leg!

Nose ring!

Like my new fashion statement? It's the new nose ring! I'm sure it will be the rage this year with the 4 month olds....

Bumbo girl!

Here I am in my Bumbo seat. I really like that I can sit up now and see the world from a different perspective....what a big girl I am now!!!

A few of my favorite things...

A few of my favorite things.....my pink teddy bear, smiling at my mom and dad making funny faces at me, and naps!

Cute and clean!

Bath time always brings out the best in me!
Another bath picture again????

Love those blue eyes!

Ava and I were out shopping with a few girlfriends and I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of her. She was so giggly and I don't think it was just because Baby Gap had a sale! She's happy most of the time and I think it shows!

Ava & Elivia

My good friend, Dawn Papcun (Tigner) came out for a visit with Elivia this weekend. We had so much fun hanging out with all the babies and I got to see first hand what I'm in for in about a year! Elivia is just a few days short of one year older than Ava. We all decided our get together's have really changed over the years. We managed to get one night out without the kids, but a massage or pedicure like we always used to do....forgetaboutit!

bubble bath with mom!

I finally gave up giving Ava a bath in the sink or her bathtub as I felt like I always put her life in danger! My solution....get in the tub with her! It's so cute and she loves bath time- not that she didn't before. My friend Dawn snapped this picture after swimming covered Ava enough so she wouldn't be embarassed when we pull these pictures out when she's 16!

Who's the sleepy head????

8/8/07

We've been so busy we haven't taken many pictures, but I decided this morning that Wes and Ava looked so cute just 'hangin' out' that I had to snap a pic! Ava's certainly a great sleeper averaging 8 hours a night since she was about 7 weeks old, but she gets up around 5 or 5:30 every morning. It works great on the days I work and gives us some play time in the morning, but I would love for her to sleep in a few extra hours on the weekends! As you can see, her Daddy isn't enthusiastic about her early morning energy!
