Watch Ava Jump!

So much has changed! Ava now is 20lbs! She had held tight at this weight for a few weeks now. She is in 6-12 months clothes and size 3 diapers. She doesn't like to sit still at all. Ava sat up for the first time by herself!! I have it on my cell phone. I just need to download it......it will be a while as you can see we are a little behind. Ava keeps us busy. Ava is sleeping in her own bed! We are still giving her rice ceral, but have not started on solids. Tony and I decided there is no rush to make her grow up faster than she is. She sleeps great and is a healthy girl so what we are doing is working. Ava is in the transition to a BIG girl seat. Which means no more infant seat. I would love to keep her in it longer but due to her weight it isn't safe nor can my arms take it much longer!! She is still facing backwards in the car which she will until she is at least one if not two! She has a new toy that is a "lamaze" dragonfly....SHE loves it!!!!!!!! Mommy does too....guess why?????
You got it, it's a DRAGONFLY!
Anyways, I have been very busy I learned to make "taggie" blankets for Ava. She loves them and I have made 2 now. I also have made for her "babylegs" This has saved us so much money as these items in the store are very expensive. Our family friend Nancy aka GMA has made for us several babylegs and BIBS!!!! YEAH NANCY!!!
So much has changed that I need to look back in Ava's Journal that I keep and find out what else is new. In the mean time I need some sleep so I will have to make another post with some more pictures soon. :)

Cereal

Ava started rice cereal here is her first bite to share with you!

20lbs

My little princess isn't so little anymore. She is a 20lb BIG girl! She seems to be on this streak with how many weeks she is, is how much she weighs! Hopefully this doesn't continue though beause I don't think that 53 weeks will be too much fun to have to carry a 53lbs baby lol. Any ways things are going well. We are working on sitting up right now. This is going great! Ava has been getting babysat by her grandma Lisa, grandpa Mike and Auntie Em. She loves it there! We surprised her Auntie Michelle with a visit to South Milwaukee the other week and she loved it. Things are a little insane here with school, work the distance between tony's house and mine, and juggling Ava, but when it is all said and done I love her, I love him it works. We will be attending St. Anthony's on the Lake this Sunday is hopes that soon we will find a church that we like. Wish us luck! :) I will post some pictures soon, I am not at home and don't have a lot of time so I just thought I would keep you updated on the changes going on in our lives. Oh Ava started rice and she LOVES it, on that note, love you all tons!!!
