3 beautiful months have come and gone and left us with so many amazing memories! We can't wait to see what the next 3 months have in store for us.
3 Month List
1. Ava's biggest challenge during the last month have occurred in the last week and a half...daycare. Her first week was rough with lots of toddler attitude to boot :) This past week however, she has done awesome!!!! Still crying at drop off but it's not lasting very long and occasional tears when they go outside to play. Her teachers say that she is making lots of friends and participates really well!! We are so proud of her for braving yet another challenge in her life and rocking it!!!
2. Ava loves "Insanity" workout videos! LOL!!! Matt and I work out to them in the basement and she dances right along to the music on the DVD. When we have an exercise that requires us to be on the floor Ava will come sit beside us and bop her head up and down like she's doing the exercise too!! Seriously the funniest thing ever. I have to get pictures and video of this before she stops. I will never be able to workout without having my sweet little girl beside me to cheer me on again :)
3. Because she's been in daycare and I've gone back to work we watch even less TV. She still loves Baby Einstein and we've gotten a couple new ones this last month. But she also will come running into watch the TV whenever any music is playing on a show. When she does this, she'll do her little jig and then go right back to whatever else she was doing.
4. Ava met both of her Great-Grandmas this last month!! What a blessing to be able to share my beautiful baby girl with these special people. Those introductions were definitely meetings I will never forget.
5. Favorite Book: Ava continues to love to look at books and have books read to you. Her favorite book currently is a touch and feel book called "That's Not My Panda". When she finally reaches the part of "that is my panda...his tummy is so soft" she rubs the soft part of the bear against her cheek. Such a sweet, silly girl!!
6. Ava made her first trip to the lake house in Missouri!! This is something that I dreamt a long time about and was so thankful to be able to take her! We spent 5 days at the lake with my family. We spent a lot of time playing on the patio, going for boat rides, blowing bubbles, and just relaxing as a family. Such a fun memory for us with many more trips to come in the future.
7. Ava is (knock on wood) sleeping through the night almost every night!!! YAY!!
8. Favorite foods: Ava is still a really good eater, but has become more picky in the last month. Ava is especially struggling with eating hamburger and chicken lately. She tends to put it in her mouth and chew on it for awhile but then will spit it all back out. She eats a lot of yogurt, strawberries, turkey lunch meat, and eggs. She has also discovered popsicles during the last month. She thinks those are yummy!!
9. Ava and Jack are definitely good buddies!! Jack has been quite sad with Ava going to daycare during the day. I don't think he knows what to think with all the quiet in our house during the day. Everyday she gets home, she gets attacked with kisses from Jack~somebody misses her.
10. New words and sounds: We haven't heard a lot of new words lately, but are hearing new sounds since she started daycare. We have a feeling that new words are coming very soon. Her favorite new sound is ga-ga. And she continues to sing all day!! Sing will break out with "E-I-E-I, cluck, cluck, cluck" frequently during the day.
