Ava's First Christmas

I think Ava really enjoyed her first Christmas, she slept through most of it! Her favorite part was definitely the tree. She loved to stare at the lights while she was falling asleep. I told Brian that we should keep it up year round :) She is getting so big, it is amazing, and she is starting to look more like her dad too, but the cheeks are still obviously from me! This girl has some fabulous cheeks! We were in the mall the other day and we heard this couple as they walked by whispering, "did you see that baby's cheeks?" It was pretty cute.

Homebirth Baby Party

A few weeks ago all of the families from our homebirth class got together for a wonderful lunch with the babies. It was so fun getting to see all of the babies together! Ava was the only baby that slept through the entire party, which made her ideal for photos! Here is a link to view the pictures from the party. The ones toward the end are of all the babies lined up in birth order. You will notice that Ava is second to last. The youngest baby was born 3 days after her, and the oldest one born 2 months before her. These babies are so cute!!

Here is a recent picture of her, taken a few days ago. I think she loves her headband :)
