Our little Ava is a month old today!! I can't believe how fast the past month has flown by. The past month has been quite busy getting into a routine again. Ava is doing great.....at her two week appointment she weighed 6lbs 9 oz.....2 oz shy from her birth weight. She eats great and sleeps great at night. She eats before bed at around 10:00......sleeps until 2 or 3......eats at that time and then sleeps until 5 or 6......I am up by that time anyways because Jack still is getting up early. Ava is waking up for longer periods of time during the day and is becoming more alert. She loves to look at faces....especially those of her family. It even appears that she is starting to smile and coo at us! We love our little girl and feel so blessed to have her in our lives. She is so perfect and such a great addition to our family. I can't even imagine our lives without her!

She gets a whole lot of attention from her brothers......they love to kiss her and talk to her. My favorite is to hear them talk to her in a sweet voice and say....... it's ok sweetie......you're ok baby Ava. They are great helpers.....they love to help hold her, burp her and clean her up when she spits up. They always tell me that their baby Ava is a cutie and a sweetie! It has been so great for me to see my boys interact with their sister.

I can't believe that a month has passed already......we look forward to what the next month may bring us!
