I've been lucky the last week or two to have some days off and have more time with Sam and Ava.

Sam loves to hang out with his sister - in the morning when I bring him into the bedroom, he gets so excited to see her!

Ava loves her brother too! She loves to hear him talk and read and play his loud games and toys next to her - she is mesmerized! Sam now will come and sit by her and try to make her laugh - if she smiles or laughs back at him he gets so excited.

With Sam, it's all about the books. He always pulls out a stack of books and situates himself on the couch or his little chair. He often doesn't want mom to read to him as HE can read them now!

Lately, I've peeked into the living room and found Sam parked next to Ava reading to her - it's very cute! She loves it and just smiles and watches him.

Ava is all about chewing on things and holding toys in her hand - she is getting good at grabbing things and putting them in her mouth - even her paci!

A proud BSU fan - thanks Aunt Sara for my super cool shirt!

Bradley might not like me posting these, but one of my favorite things is how Ava LOVES to sleep on her dad - they are definitely nap buddies! Dad has a special touch for babies and putting them to sleep on his chest. In the first picture, Ava was so happy to have her daddy home from the Indy road trip - she immediately went to sleep on dad - she looked so sweet I had to take a picture. The second one - well, I think dad needed a nap as badly as Ava - ha!

Little Peanut

Sunday, May 20, 2012

Ava 4 MONTH Appointment

Weight: 14lb. 6oz (50-75%tile)

Height: 24.75in (50-75%tile)

Head: 16.5in (75-90%tile)

We can't believe our little peanut is 4 months old already - time flies. She is such a good baby - and I mean GOOD baby! She usually falls asleep at 8pm and wakes up at 5am. She rarely cries unless hungry or needs a diaper and is very content. She is also very social now and loves to talk and interact with everyone - she is always looking around and cooing. She also likes to be entertained by Sam - he lets her hold his finger and will try to coo at her! We still have to keep a little watch on him as he likes to try to feed her stuff or pick her up. We also think Ava is almost about to rollover - she can get her leg over but just needs a little more to get the rest of her over. I expect her to rollover soon as she is close and also doesn't mind being on her tummy.

Her favorite things now are naps on daddy, her little horsey from the Berglunds, and Oinks, her soft pig from Mema and Papa. She is starting to hold things and likes to manipulate her toys as well as watch moving things and toys with noises. She is also now sitting in the bumbo.
