For starters, sweet Ava is now just over 3 months old. This post is dedicated to her milestone photos from this summer. In future posts we'll summarize other summer highlights as well!
Around weeks 5 & 6, we moved Ava into her room (from our room) and that first night she slept 6 hours! (10pm-4am). This nighttime schedule became a routine, along with catnaps throughout the day. We laugh that Ava is a loud sleeper - grunting, groaning and squealing as she sleeps. The older she's gotten, the quieter she sleeps....thankfully! :)
Ava also started smiling at around 6 weeks...or maybe even sooner, but it was hard to determine if those smiles were intentional. We love to see her sweet face light up in a grin. She brings us so much joy!
The night before Ava was 2 months old, she slept what we would consider "through the night"! (10:15pm-5:15am). This pattern of 7+ hours has been consistent ever since. What a girl! Ava visited the doctor for a 2-month checkup. She weighs 10lbs almost even, and is 23.25".
2 month photos
Ava's 10th week was highlighted by lots of cooing and talking. We love to hear her sweet little voice! She also slept 9 hours this week (9:30pm-6:30am) and continues to take frequent naps throughout the day.
3 Months Old! How fast the time has gone! Little Ava loves to look at and suck on her hand, she holds her head up well, has a wonderful smile (her whole face lights up, head turns side-to-side, and shoulders shrug), sleeps well through the night (about 9 hours, brief wake to feed, then 3 more hours), and does lots of "talking" - she is going to be a chatter box! Owen loves his sister, giving her lots of kisses. And she seems to recognize him also - often smiling at him when he gets laughing or silly. Thanks to generous grandma's and friends, Ava has quite an expansive wardrobe of dresses, bows, and lots of pink! We are thoroughly enjoying having a little girl in the family, and are so blessed that the Lord gave us Ava.

Finally! I keep looking and wishing that there were updates! I knew she was more than a month old, and was so wanting to see some photos. She's changed a ton, and is as cute as a button!
