Ava

 

Ava is a lot more alert now and smiling all the time!

Dad gave Ava her first official bottle and she drank it with no problems!
Dad is great at soothing Ava down (or at 4am when mom is at her brink!).  He has also definitely won the award of "Master Swaddler" at our house! 

Getting help from her Big Brother with her pacifier!

Life with Sam

Sam loves his books - his favorite is "Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel Mary Anne" - it was missing for a few days and mom and dad looked at each other suspiciously to see if it was their doing!  (How many times a day can you read this book!?).  It was found by Sam a few days later - he had put it in his wagon for safe keeping!

Sam LOVES hockey and is one of his most common words he says.  If he sees a game on TV, he will say "Ho-CKEY" and run and grab his hockey stick.  You do have to watch out for him when he has it in hand - he doesn't understand high-sticking yet!

Sam being silly playing in the baby's bathtub and riding cowboy with his two monkeys (his mega blocks served as his horse)!

Sam and messes are an inevitable combination at our house - it's amazing how much damage he can do in a short time!  He loves to get in dad's bedside drawers, into the baby bins, his books, and anything else in his eyeline!

Just chillin"

Cute boy!
