Bath Time

The first bath Ava got at home was a disaster. She hated it, we didn't know what in the heck we were doing, and it was just miserable. However, over the past 6 months, bath time has become quite enjoyable. Ava loves it!! She has now figured out that she can splash. She just hits the water with her pudgy little hands and kicks with her little feet... it's so adorable. Part of me wants to stop her because water gets everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE! But, a phrase that my institute teacher used all the time comes to mind, "Find joy in the journey". Watching Ava splash is my joy in the journey. She has such a fun time, and I love it more and more when she splashes. I am grateful everyday for her and for all the laughter and personality she brings into mine and Nate's life..

Sour Face

So, we've started Ava on some solid foods. What a journey that has been. She doesn't like cereal that much, so I mix it in with her foods. We started her on vegetables, just like the doctor said. She has done pretty well. She loves carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. It took her a couple of tries to get used to peas and beans. Well, I decided to start some fruits. She practically inhaled peaches and bananas. Today, I gave her applesauce, which she didn't really like. Every time I gave her a bite, she would make this sour face. It was so funny!! I just kept feeding her the applesauce so I could get her to make that face!! She is so expressive and dramatic, it's ridiculous. But, she's my little drama queen.

So, after much persuasion, I decided to get a blogspot. Thank you Jenn, Jessica, and yes even my hubby, Nate. I'm not really good at blogging. I might get a little behind, but I'll try to keep up. I guess I should introduce my cute family. Nate is going to school for accounting. I am a stay at home mom. Ava is 6 months old and is the light of my life. Nate and I knew each other throughout high school, but really got to know each other while we worked together. Ta da. We're married and have a beautiful baby girl.
