Ava Mae’s Fourth Month

Month FOUR with our Ava girl! We can’t get enough of her sweetness

Some Highlights

-Celebrating Nana’s belated birthday.

-Time with Gigi & Grandpa while we photographed a wedding (Emily & Josh).

-My college friend, Jill, getting to visit & meet Ava.

-Quality time with nana while big sis Nora started swim lessons on Monday mornings.

-First time to the Indiana State Fair.

-First flight!

-First trip to Colorado!

-First vacation as a family of four.

-Seeing Uncle JT & Emily the day we got back from Colorado! We also got to see pappy (MVP for picking us up at the airport), nana (MVP for feeding us when we arrived) and aunt Addie which was sweet!

-Attending a birthday party for/with small group friends.

*Fun fact: we found out 1 year ago (August 23rd, on my dad’s bday) that we were pregnant with Ava

Things we’ve learned about Ava

-She loves to roll from her back to her belly & belly to back! She has been sleeping on her belly a lot recently.

-She loves to smile!!

-She’s starting to giggle and it is the BEST noise ever!

-She loves her hands & drooling

-She discovered her toes.

-When she’s SUPER excited or getting tired she screeches like a pterodactyl and it is not our favorite noise because it kinda hurts your ears. Hopefully this will pass! In the mean time, we blow in her face to negatively reinforce it when she does because she’s not a fan of that.

-Still a huge water bug and kicks and smiles pretty much the entire time she’s in the bath. It’s seriously adorable. Nora loves to be in the bath with her to help clean her feet! She doesn’t cry when we take her out of the bath as much anymore either which is nice.

-Loves to watch her sister play and will contort herself/roll over just so she can see Nora ha.

-Home girl can poop! We’ve had several blowouts this month which is not mommy’s favorite. On the plus side, I’m thankful she’s regular haha.

-Has the best leg rolls & round cheeks that we all kiss ALL the time!!

-She is the sweetest little thing & we praise God for her precious life!
