Sidenotes

I sleep more soundly and peacefully now than I ever have in my life. Maybe my brain understands that a nights sleep now does not guarantee a full 8 hours so it limits the chatter and allows my body to shut down for the night. It's wonderful...and maybe I am still enjoying the comforts of the bed after being so UNCOMFORTABLE while I was pregnant. What ever it is, it's fabulous.

Ava, you "ate" peaches today. Yay! You make your mama so proud. You reach for the spoon to put in your mouth and usually wind up gagging yourself. But you keep right on gumming that baby food. Once you get the hang of this eating thing I will start making our own baby food.

You wake up every morning between 5:30 and 6:00 to let out some serious gas. It's so funny. You don't cry or anything, you just toot. And then you are up for the morning or at least 2 hours. Then it's nap time again.

You LOVE your baths. You get this very serious look on your face when you splash the water and then you smile so big. It is so adorable.

That's all for today. I try to keep track of all your changes and milestones so that when you are older you will be able to look back at all these entries and maybe know yourself a little bit better.

You are so loved Ava. So dearly loved. I can't wait to hear what your laugh sounds like....we all are wondering.
