Life in the past 6 weeks...

We have had so much going on in the last 6 weeks. Ava is changing everyday! She has started staying awake more and being more interactive. She follows voices, reaches for things around her, and smiles really big! We are so in love with her and are enjoying watching her grow!

I have been having a few medical problems lately and had to have my gallbladder taken out. It was my first time to be put under, so I was nervous. It all went well, and hopefully I'll be back to normal soon.
Two of my very best friends, Ashley and Christie, came to visit us and meet Ava. It was such a good weekend, and I can't wait to have another one with them. Ava loves them already, I'm sure.

This past weekend we went to Jake's graduation at Harding. Ava did great in the car! She slept most of the time. She only woke up to tell us she was hungry, so we stopped and fed her and she went right back to sleep!

We came back Saturday so I could spend my first Mother's Day with my daughter and mom. We went to church, to eat, and then mom and I went shopping! Matt and Ava got me the sweetest card and two new shirts that I am so excited about. I had to wear the same clothes for a long time while I was pregnant, and it feels really good to be able to buy regular clothes again. My first Mother's Day was perfect! I absolutely love being a mommy to the sweetest baby ever. She has brought so much joy to my life, and I know there is only more to come.



This is when she really started smiling at us. We have yet to really be able to catch it on camera, but I'll continue to try until I get one. She has such a beautiful smile!


These two are probably my oldest friends! I love them so much, and really can't wait to see them again!


Ava kept putting her arm like that when Christie would hold her. It was too cute not to get a picture.


Daddy holding Ava at Jake's graduation. She was so cozy!



Uncle Jake, the graduate, holding his neice! We are all so proud of him!

Ava had to have a picture with her Aunt Tasha! She looks so big here!


This is our Mother's Day picture! I love this baby so much! (Notice the spit up on my sleeve!)


Both of these pictures were too sweet, so I had to post both. Ava loves her Grammy so much!



I love my mom so much! She's the best!



She is getting so big! This outfit's size is 3 months!

This is where Ava always is if Pawpaw is around. She's sort of smiling here, but he can also make her smile really big. She loves him too!




I just love every picture of Matt and Ava, so they will probably all be posted. He's such a great daddy!
