Two Weeks With Ava!

I am still pinching myself and waking up wondering if it's really true that I have a baby girl? 

Ava has the BEST big brothers in the entire world  Really, they all adore her and take such good care!  It was really funny because Wyatt was talking about Ava the other night and he paused and said, "What's that baby's name again?"  We laughed hard and then reminded him that his sister's name is Ava Joy.  I think I have most loved the boys flexibility in having a new sibling.  I was so afraid that their world would be rocked and they would 'miss out' on something by having a new baby around that demands a lot of our attention and keeps us confined to home during the winter months......  but there lives have been completely unaffected in many ways--they just keep right on going with their norm! And their hearts are so open and immediately full of love for their new sister (yes, even sometimes forgetting her name!)


Ava is still a great sleeper at night, mostly just waking once. There have a been a couple of nights that she woke twice.  She's super content but her 'fussy' time seems to be in the morning.  It will be interesting when Joe goes back to work trying to get everyone fed, dressed and out the door to drop Wyatt off at K..... Ava might be in the Baby Bjorn!  Otherwise, she's content and happily at ease in the swing or bouncer.  She does love to snuggle and lets us know when she's had enough alone time! :) 
And this captures our 'look' completely!  Been in PJs all day, never combed his hair and I think he actually put in his own hair gel.  Thankfully it's Christmas break and cold outside......  we will get ready again eventually! :)
