Ava sits herself up!

Okay, Ava's been sitting BUT now she's sitting up by herself. I'm so amazed!!! I has to document this moment because Paul and I are totally over the moon and her smile ahh! So sweet!

There's a new princess in town

Each day as you grow up, you always seem to amaze me and fill my heart with laughter and joy.

Today you're my little princess. I love you. Thank you for being such a great baby. Thank you for giving me a new meaning to life.

Love you Ava.

Welcome Baby Carter

We have another addition to our family. My sil Linda and bil phil had their first baby boy (#3), which makes it #9 for me! Ava has a buddy now and quite frankly, she doesn't know what to think. Compared to carter, she's huge!

We spent this past weekend with the family, celebrated their birthdays, and got the privilege to take their first newborn/family photo session. I'm am truly so proud of my husband's talent. Ava, you opened the doors to your daddy's many talents. You were the key to his hidden talents. Thank you. His eyes are open to something words cannot express. Truly priceless. Here are some photos of our weekend and their session..

Photos by Daddy

Since Ava was created, Paul has always been so avid about taking pictures of every moment in our lives. Photos tell a story and capture moments that lasts forever.

Our April shots of Ava.

Our half year visit with the doc

6 months is here and she's growing!
Weighing now at 14.9lbs and at 25.75 inches long, she is sassy more than ever.

Ava was given two shots in her legs and she took it like a champ. A moment of wha, but seconds later calmness. I'm a proud mama. She definitely showed off to the doctor her vocals and her strength. It was so cute. Afterwards, we went to the bookstore to buy her some board books as a reward!

Happy half a year to Ava!

Today she's 6 months and she's full of life. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. Day by day, Ava amazes us with every new talent. She's a jibber jabber now. I'm in love.

She's eating solids so well. I'm still making fresh purée for her (sweet potato, carrots, pears, and peas), but when we are on the go, we feed her "earth's best organic" baby food. Ava is now on level 2 and is chowing down a jar at almost every feeding plus a tbsp of oatmeal plus 8oz I milk. She definitely has a Nguyen appetite.

We are starting to ween out of sleepers and dressing up into more fashion fun clothes. Fitting into 6 months now. It was hard to clean out her closet and stock away her newborn and 3 months. Time sure does fly by.

Ava loves to roll, sit and grab everything in sight. She enjoys her time in the jumperoo and squeals and giggles so much! She's holding her huge bottles and the diapers are definitely fuller. She loves loves Sophie the giraffe! You can hear it squeak every morning. That's when we know, she's awake. A great sleeper: in bed at 830-9pm to 9am. Those baby classes work awesome.

Happy 6 months to my little princess. You are the light of my life!!
