3 Month old Ava Noelle

Ava will be 4 months on May 11th.  I am definitely not as good at recording milestones about her and pictures as well.  I hope to get back on the bandwagon but we will see...

3 months means

  • She is starting to roll over.  Not consistent but she has rolled over from belly to back a few times and back to side.
  • Trying to sit up.  It's funny to see this.  Sometimes she tries to sit up from her car seat or swing.  Time to make sure we are buckling her in.
  • Talking/Cooing/laughing.  She does this a lot more than Ariy did so I wonder what that means.  She also is laughing a little especially if we tickle her neck.
  • Mostly consistent long sleeping stretches.  Ariy took to sleeping like a champ.  He still is a great sleeper and sleeps a lot.  Ava may be a bit different we anticipate.  She pretty regularly will go to bed between 7 and 8 and sleep until 2 or 3.  
  • Big eyes.  We get a lot of comments on how aware she is.  She pretty much is sleeping or wide eyed. Her hair is also growing in a pretty bright tone of red and with her mostly full head of hair we also get a fair amount of head rubbing from strangers.  I never had that happen with Ariy but strangers love to just get a rub of her head.  Cute I guess?
  • During the day she eats every 2 to 4 hours.  
  • She wears 3 month clothes and was around 12 lbs at 3 months

Easter Day: first of many attempts at nice sibling pics

Easter was a great day except for the fact that Ariy and I were still getting over a pretty bad cold.  Otherwise, we really enjoyed a great meal and fun with family and friends.  Ariy had managed pretty quickly to find some chocolate and cover his nice new clothes with it so nice cute pictures with both kiddos in cutesy outfits was not going to happen.  I like what we got though.



Ariy did manage to have a matching bandaid. 
This is Ariy's favorite thing to do.  He LOVES rubbing "baby sissys" head.
