Smiles & Cooes

Miss Ava is starting to smile finally and we even got a couple precious cooes out of her this morning. It's nice to hear happy noises instead of crazy crying and screams! She's quite the drama queen. Like mother like daughter? Well, you can blame Daddy for her stubborn streak then.

Ava got a visit from Pappa Tim last night. She was sad to learn that she slept right through the entire thing! Lucky for her, I'm sure he'll stop by again soon. Grandma Bonnie, Grandpa Randy, and Aunt Megan also came over last night. Somehow we got her to wake up for that one. She loved every minute of being spoiled rotten. :)

"I'm so cute it hurts. Don't you think?"

Raising Ava, one month in

Miss Ava is being a bit of a fussbutt this afternoon. I just think she knows how to make her Daddy feel sorry for her already - he disagrees... "She's too young to know how to manipulate." I call b.s. simply because I think females are born knowing how to do this. It's instinct. Now Daddy has left for work so it's just me and Ava for the next ten hours. She isn't excited.

"What do you mean he's going to work?! Daddy, take me with you! She's CRAZY!"

What are our plans for the day? Well, Mommy is going to try to clean up the house between Ava's crying fits. Then we might watch some television and cuddle with the dogs (minus Caesar, who is still on his vacation across town). There will also be lots of bottles, diapers, and attempts at playing in our day. For now, though, this little nugget wants attention and, oh, yay! Time for a new onesie. :)

Coming up in our world...
