Four months down...and oh a lifetime to go!

Baby Ava is 4 months!

I would probably say that by the 4th month, us moms (well for me at least) are finally somewhat normal, alive, and back on track.  Babies are sleeping through the night (hopefully,) and then we start feeling like ourselves, going out, and having fun.  Well for me that's the case.  HELLO NORMAL!

It's amazing how so much can happen in 4 months and when you look back you think "what was my life before this child?"  Sure I miss the leisure and travels, but it is definitely a sweetness to seeing that face in the morning.

Ava is a happy baby.  I think she can sense people who are sincere or people who are plain evil (haha if you read this and you're my friend and Ava cries, you are not evil.)  She's starting to develop a charming personality.  Ava definitely knows how to bat those eyes and sucker all her uncles and daddy to just go "ooooo" for her.  Quite cute.  She's starting to roll over, talks, drool, eat rice cereal (day 2 to be exact,) and is sitting up comfortably on her Bumbo.  Oh, and when she sleeps, NO MORE SWADDLING!  The day that it actually happened, the next day at work, I teared because she slept like us now, not a baby.

Ava's wardrobe is getting quite exciting.  It's been bloody cold here this season, so all the cute dresses are at a halt, but when the sun shines, bows and dresses and shoes will all be out.  When I first found out I was prego, I really thought it would be a boy.  Easy, simple and having a girl was a bit intimidating to me. Yes, I'm a super girly girl, but I just didn't know how I'd do with a baby.  Now that I have her, I cannot stop shopping and dressing her up.  Even a tiny drool on her shirt...WARDROBE CHANGE!  hahaha.

WIth that said...Ava's closet is full of tutus, flowers,  bows, leggings, and PINK!  More to come on the diva herself....
