Ava and Ollie sittin' in a tree...

We have a weekly playdate with one of Aiden's friends, Henry, and he happens to have a baby brother, Ollie, just 6 weeks older than Ava. Love is in the air:) Ava and Ollie really do seem to get a kick out of each other--they always smile at each other and love to lay on the floor together. So cute!!!



A chunky monkey drama queen



Ava had her 4 month check-up today. She is a chunker! She weighed in at 15 lbs 6 oz--a weight that her big brother didn't get to until he was 5.5 months old and well into solid food already. She is also, like her mama, a bit of a drama queen. She threw up half her bottle all over the nurse who tried giving her an oral shot, and then screamed bloody murder for almost 20 minutes after her shots. Both the pediatrician and the nurse said they had never seen a baby cry so hard and so long after shots--poor girl! She's recovered fine though and was in her regular good spirits tonight, thankfully! The Dr. wants us to start solids soon since she's waking up more at night. I bought some infant oatmeal and we might just give it a try this weekend. But then again, we might wait a while too. I guess ultimately it will be up to the princess herself!

Say CHEESE!

Aiden has a new "cheese" face that he was modeling for me yesterday.
And look at Ava being a big girl in the high chair!
It is hard to believe that it's almost time for her to start baby cereal!

Ava being silly

Ava's favorite new thing is to have me try to make her eat her own foot. She thinks this is just hilarious every time:)

So strong!


Ava isn't even 4 months old yet, and she is obsessed with standing. If she ever gets fussy, all you need to do is stand her up and she's happy again. It must be fun to get a whole new point of view!
This morning I stood her up propped against the couch and she stayed there smiling for almost 3 whole minutes!! Even Aiden, who walked so early, couldn't do that until he was almost 7 months old!
Now if only we could get her arms as strong as her legs, lol. She still can't even lift her chest off the ground, but she can support her whole body weight on her legs for minutes at a time. Seems kind of backwards to me!
