Statistics!

My precious baby was a champ today! She barely let out a whimper and is already smiling and laughing again :) Not to mention, she looked so stylish doin' it!

She is now 26 1/3" long (92%), 16lbs 11oz (80%), and 43.2cm head (85%)! Her doctor said she looks great and we can start giving her cereal! I'm excited :) He was very impressed at how well Ava is sitting up and says it's perfectly ok if she doesn't do everything in the order we would imagine her to (she hasn't rolled over yet). I'm so proud of my baby girl, I just love seeing how much she's grown already. Here are her last stats at 2 months for comparison!

Catching Up!

Ava has really been showing us her great personality! She laughs and smiles a lot. I could spend my whole day just trying to get her to smile, i love it so much! She gives "kisses" now. I used to think it was just her being hungry, but she'll do it right after she eats too. She grabs onto your face and pulls it to hers and just sticks her mouth on you. Sometimes she tries to lightly suck on your face, but I think it's just out of habit because she's not hungry. I fall in love with her more and more each day and I really hate being away from her. She's intoxicating.

She still hasn't rolled over yet, but she's trying really hard. She does a great job at tummy time and has turned everything over except the last leg. The way she is progressing, sometimes I think she'll sit up before she rolls over. She does a great job sitting up by herself. She teeters and totters but typically can catch herself and push herself back the right way.


We got some GREAT pictures of her at her cousin's birthday party! I'm so getting some of them framed!


This one is my favorite!!


My baby girl is officially 5 months old!! Her appointment is tomorrow. I can't wait to find out all her measurements. Here's my beautiful princess after church this morning!

Halloween Stroll


Ava all ready to go for a walk on Halloween! We didn't dress up, even though mommy really wanted to. Next year, it's on. We met up with daddy and our cousin Luke and his parents! Took a nice stroll through the old neighborhood. It was a nice simple evening. Ava fell asleep on the walk.
