Staying busy

Ava had a slew of visitors this week. It started off with Mo’s friend Atul in town for a conference (Ava got her first visit to a 5 star resort – which she mostly slept through). Mo got her first “solo” night when Scott was in California for work.

Then the visitors continued with Kim and Miller Morissette visiting for a night (Happy First Birthday Miller!).

Grandma and Grandpa Ameduri came in for a few nights.

 

Whew – all those visitors really tire her out!

 

Luckily a little sleep and she’s all recovered to play with Chase…

Finally, our favorite comparison photo: week 6 on the left, week 1 on the right…amazing how much she has grown!

More weekend fun: Grandma, Prescott, and Finishing the Nursery

Ava continues to get bigger, more alert, and more lively. She’s been having a good few days with Grandma Dwyer for a quick visit. We finished up the nursery with the addition of the valence. And we took a day trip Lynx Lake in Prescott to escape the heat. Stay tuned for more updates later…

4 Weeks, 2 Pounds

 

Today Ava is officially (at 1:26 pm) 4 weeks old! At the pediatrician, she weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces, making it over 2 pounds of weight gain in those 4 weeks. Ava is definitely a good eater!

3 Weeks Old!

We can’t believe it’s been 3 weeks already!  Of course, being off work, I barely can remember what day of the week it is.

Here is this week in pictures…

We are having lots of visitors which is fun!  Thanks for stopping by.

A Big Weekend of “Firsts” for Ava

Ava has had an exciting weekend.  First off, Friday, Flowers.com delivered her very first Teddy Bear, not to mention some beautiful flowers for the whole family. Thanks Malhotra family!

After relaxing with Teddy, she had aunt Nene and uncle John over to meet her.  We had a little birthday celebration for John’s 40th.  Ava didn’t get to partake in the wine or the chocolate cake. ;-( 

 

As if that wasn’t enough excitement, Saturday morning she got to go out for her first ride in her new Bob jog stroller.  Actually, her first ride in any stroller!  With morning temps starting in the 90’s, we haven’t brought her out on our routine morning walk with Chase. 

Today she was able to check out the neighborhood as the sun was rising over the mountains. 

After that, we piled into the car with Auntie Nene, and headed up near Sedona to go to a winery.  (We like to start her young.) haha

Here we are at Alcantara Winery, enjoying some wine and a picnic lunch.  Ava had an Enfamil flight.
