3 months old already.......Where has the time gone?????

Ava is 3 months old. I know I already said this, but I cannot believe how quickly time is flying by. Ava's third month of life was a big one for her. In the past few weeks she has really started cooing, smiling like crazy, and even giggling a few times (at least they sound like giggles). She has started to love her activity mat, bumbo seat, and loves to go on walks/runs with mom, her friend Sara, and her 2 month old baby Claire. At three months she weighs about 10 pounds and is 22 inches long. As her head continues to grow her hair does not, so she is starting to become bald. :)
 

Daddy daycare! We had some good friends over for dinner and it was pretty funny watching the husbands try to juggle watching the babies, the basketball game, and enjoy a beer! :) 

 I can't get over how much Ava has grown since she was first born. The picture on the right was taken in the NICU when Ava was about 2 weeks old weighing a little under 5 pounds. In her 3 month picture she is double that weighing almost 10 pounds! Thank you god for giving my baby the strength to grow and keeping her healthy!

I had meant to take her 3 month photos all day and just kept putting it off. We had a very busy day that day. So after her evening bath, when she is usually not too happy I decided to test my luck and take her 3 month pictures. I was excited that she was actually being pretty good for the first few pictures and then you will see she lost it after that.

She was not happy with me from this point on!

I love it when I find them asleep together. :)

Dylan (7 months), Ava (3 months), Asher (5 weeks), and Claire (2 1/2 months). I feel so lucky to be able to experience motherhood with my very close friends. None of us planned on having babies at the same time, but somehow it worked out that way. :)

Ava loved meeting Dylan this weekend. Dylan is my friend's 7 month old baby boy. He is so adorable. They moved up north to San Francisco so we don't get to see them as often as we would like to.

Ava and Asher. My good friend Jenn's 1 month old baby. I love how they are the same size even though they are 2 months apart.

Now that Ava is more alert and focuses on objects Steve has started reading to her every night. She usually just stares at me, the fan, or the lights, but I know she hears him and LOVES it!
