Lately

I have been MIA the past week, but we are doing great! Kate Rivers has only been waking up once a night. When she does, she eats and goes right back to sleep. She has really been an easy baby so far! She is already changing so much! Her little face has really filled out.

Ava is still doing great with her. She even held her (with me sitting right beside her) today! She really loves her baby sister! It is going to be so much fun watching them grow up together.

We made two day trips last week with both girls, and they went so smoothly! We went to Hattiesburg to visit my friends, Travis and Elizabeth, Wednesday. Elizabeth has a little boy who is 3 weeks older than Ava. She also just had her second child...a little girl 6 weeks older than Kate Rivers. It was so much fun catching up with her!

We went to the delta Friday. That was a lot of fun too!

I just wanted to give an update on what has been going on with us. I will try to get some pictures uploaded very soon! Have a wonderful evening!

Ava is 2 Years and 4 Months!

Ava is 2 years and 4 months today.

She is doing so many fun things! Here are a few of the things she is up to:

She has been talking for a while, but her vocabulary is getting richer and richer. It is so much fun to listen to her talk. She is learning so much! :)

She is also growing! She looks so big compared to Kate Rivers.

She still likes bath time. She would stay in the bath all day if we would let her.

We have been taking her to the playground at our church a lot lately. She also LOVES this. She loves anything that involves being outside.

Everything is still going well with her sleeping in her "big girl" bed. This transition has been so much easier than I ever could have imagined. I am so glad.

She loves to "help" with Kate Rivers. If the baby is crying, she will cover her up. SO sweet!

She is obsessed with anything Dora. We have a Dora toothbrush, Dora pull-ups, Dora sippy cups, etc....

She also LOVES Sesame Street. I think Elmo is her favorite character on Sesame Street.

Ava enjoys going to church. She knows that she is supposed to wear a dress to church. She moved up to the 2 year old room a few weeks ago, so she actually has a Sunday School class now--too fun!

She has gotten MUCH easier to go out to eat with. She has gotten to where she sits so nicely and eats her food. We haven't been brave enough to take both girls out to eat yet, but maybe soon!

These are just a few of the many things she has been up to lately! We just love her so very much!

2 Weeks Old

I can't believe Kate Rivers is already 2 weeks old. Time is already flying! It makes me happy and sad at the same time.

Kate Rivers went for her 2 week check-up today. She is up to 7 pounds! I was happy with that! We are having some issues with reflux. I am hoping it gets better soon. Last night was the first rough night we have had. She did not sleep at all. I am crossing my fingers that tonight will be better!

She likes her swing better than her bouncy seat. Ava liked the bouncy seat better. It just shows that each baby is different! Speaking of Ava, she still really likes the baby and still has shown no signs of jealousy. Let's hope this continues! :)

Our Attempt at Getting Newborn Pictures :)

We went to take Kate Rivers' newborn pictures last Monday. That went well (except for the fact that Ava would get in NONE of them).

My photographer called Wednesday and told me that her hard drive on her computer crashed, and lost all of our pictures. It was frustrating, but I really felt sorry for my photographer because it was not her fault and I know that was a nightmare!

We had to retake yesterday. The best part is that we were able to get Ava in a couple of pictures-yay! :) They should be up by Tuesday. I will post the link once they are up!

We are still doing great! I am loving having 2 girls!
