This week will mark 2 months since we first saw Ava's picture! In many ways the time has gone by fast but in many others the time cannot pass fast enough. We have been busy preparing to meet our little lady. Last week we finally decided and ordered her room decor. Our final choice is perfect, but it makes me laugh when I think about it. I have always said, "I don't need monkeys and animals all over the walls" and guess what we picked...yep animals :) But I love it!! I love that the animals are just on the comforter and the trim is funky animal prints with bright pinks and greens. Now we have to decide what color to paint. I think that will be the goal of this coming week.
We have also started organizing, cleaning out closets, and we have even visited out first daycare option. Both of us have been super concerned about finding a place that we feel comfortable with that doesn't cost a fortune. Our first tour/visit went fantastic! In all honesty it is going to take a lot for any other choice to knock it out of first place. It is a daycare center and they do some school curriculum, field trips, outside play area, and they teach the kids spanish. They seem to be very flexible as well, which has been a huge concern of mine. We are feeling so much more confident that we will be able to make a good decision regarding daycare.
We received updated information and pictures of Ava this last week. She is beautiful and getting so big!! Obviously she is eating really well...good job Ava!! Ava is standing and taking steps. We definitely need to "baby proof" our house before she gets home because she is going to be mobile right away. This mom and dad are going to need to be fast movers from the very beginning. Good thing we're in good shape!! :)
Matt and I find ourselves talking about her all the time. Wondering what she's doing right now, talking about the future, and our nearing trip to China. It's definitely true that this beautiful little girl has already changed our lives.
