A hummingbird meets an angel :)

Today, one of my good friends, Jessica Darr, finally had her baby girl! Kyla Michelle Darr was born at 2:27pm at St. Mary's in Russellville. She weighs 8lbs, 2oz and is 20.5" long - yeah, about the size Miss Ava is at 7 weeks old! She's really just beyond beautiful and I hope she and Ava are best friends! Praying that her little girl is less of a drama queen than my own little nugget, haha. We're so happy for the Darr family!

Ava says "Hello, new best friend!"

In other news, things are going rather well for this little family. We've got a busy couple of weeks ahead of us and Mommy will be going back to work soon - where is currently undecided. Mommy and Daddy are also trying a new thing... it's called "being healthy." We'll see how that goes.
 
Now here are some new pictures of my own little princess. :)
 
"I'm naked... but do you like my new hat?"

 "Hi, this is a new outfit. I look like an Amish nugget! Mom, I don't need a bonnet, really."

"This is what mommy was talking about when she said drama queen. Boy, I'm a mess!"

A rough day for our hummingbird

Ava got her first round of immunizations today. She did very well, though, 'cause she's a strong little nugget. Her Daddy took it hard, but that's to be expected. He's wrapped around that little girl's finger. The pediatrician also said that our little hummingbird might have thrush and acid reflux - which could explain her drama queen fits. We got two prescriptions for her and we're hoping that takes care of things. If it doesn't, we're going to try switching formulas.

Our poor baby girl :(

Sadly, Miss Ava Claire's bad day had only just begun. When we got home from the doctor's office, she was in a lot of pain because of the shots. Tylenol is a mom's best friend. Hopefully, she's all better tomorrow. At least she has another two months before we have to go through that again.

Diapers, diapers, diapers...

My little nugget is now 9lbs, 3oz! What a chunk, right? That's a gain of just over one pound in just 4 weeks! She's just about outgrown the Newborn size in diapers, but guess what? The next size up are still too big! They fall right off her little tushie. I'm pretty sure they need a size right in between Newborn and 1.

"First I was like..."
"Then I was like..."

On Tuesday, we go to her second visit to the pediatrician - after Mommy and Daddy get their hair did! Just a two month check-up and some shots. I'm sure the little drama queen will throw a huge screaming fit.

Side note: Her bff Caesar is home!
