Ava really is a joy (minus the night-times) and is so happy. She loves toys and now regularly entertains herself with wrappers and paper. Crazy. She has started to be up for longer periods during the day so we really get to have some fun. She has also started "humming" (for lack of a better word) while eating. Hilarious, but does not make the process as easy to hide in public anymore! She smiles a lot and LOVES her night-time ritual with daddy. He can always get her to smile and talk with him, even after starting to fuss because she's tired. We love our Ava girl!
Cute church outfit (can you see the drool covering the top of her dress? she's teething)
addictive smiles
pucker lips

Ava just gets more beautiful every time you post a picture. I know it's hard to believe now, but sleeping will get better. I'm not sure if you are looking for advice, and I am sure you have perused all of the books out there about it, but the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby" by Marc Weissbluth, worked wonders for me. Braden has always struggled sleeping too. When he was 3 months old he would only sleep in the swing, and by 5 months I had one very tired baby that wouldn't take naps! My pediatrician recommended the book and pulled bits and pieces from it. I still pull it out when we fall back into hard times. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteMy uncle Bill recommends that same book to all parents; I've also read it, and thought it had some good advice. Good luck with the sleep situation!
ReplyDeleteOh she is just SO cute Brit! So fun to see your little baby! Just wish I could meet her sometime! When do you think you will be in AZ again? I would love to see you!
