Wasn't it just yesterday?

Ava is three months old today and it feels like it's gone by in the blink of an eye. Seriously? Already? She's a quarter of a year old!!! It amazes me how the time just speeds on by. I am LOVING the stage Ava is in right now. She's SO SO happy and so sweet and I love just being with her. Every day she surprises or amuses us with something and each day is a new adventure but we are loving every moment and milestone.


Ava's Accomplishments @ 3 months old:

• She has discovered her feet and tries to grab at them
• She tries to grab at EVERYTHING!
• She talks and talks and talks - her daddy has said he's scared she's going to be a big talker like her mommy!
• When she is propped up, she tries to pull herself up into a sitting position.
• She tries so hard to roll from her back to her stomach - she can make it about half way. (I'm not quite sure why she wants to do this b/c she HATES tummy time and screams when I put her on her tummy. She usually just rolls over to her back)
• She is starting to have sounds with her laughs/grins.

Things I Love about Ava @ this age:

• Her "talking"
• Her determination in accomplishing tasks
• The way she snuggles in to my body when she's really tired and wants to go to sleep
• The way she smiles at me when I go get her in the middle of the night
• The way she is mesmerized by ceiling fans
• The way she can be crying when we put her in her carseat but stops every time she hears us open the garage door
• The way she smells after her bath
• The way she stretches each morning after we unswaddle her
• Her sweet little lamb cry
• Her quivering chin when she cries
• Her big, beautiful, blue eyes
• How she smiles and talks at/to her "friends" when we put her in her swing
• How she grins and grins at her daddy
• Her strong nature

These of course are only some of the things I love about my sweet daughter. I could never list them all! The last three months have been a roller coaster ride and after our rough start I never thought we'd have the happy days we are having. I am so thankful for her finally feeling better and being happy!


Trying her very hardest to roll from her back to her tummy

We picked her up from playing and she had a little plumber's crack!

Waking up on her 3 month birthday!


Happy girl!!

Happy 3 month birthday, Ava! Thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives!
