4 months old

Ava was 4 months old yesterday! We got some really cute chair pics. She is getting so big and her personality is really starting to come out. She has also found her voice (again)! She was jibber jabbering there for a while and then we thought she had stopped a little but this past week she has started talking nonstop! She has also learned how to scream---cute at first, until she started doing it when she wakes up in the night! :-) (I'll post some videos soon). I guess she thinks it's playtime! Luckily she does go right back to sleep. I'd love to know what she is saying and what is going on in that little mind of hers.

She continues to be the sweetest baby ever! I think she is somewhat getting into a routine with her naps and we've been experimenting with her bedtime. I read that babies her age need about 15 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period with 10 of those hours being nighttime sleeping. WOW! (uh...me too...haha). She still gets up in the night but usually it is still only once so I won't complain. It's a quick process. :) The only thing that will take some adjusting to is not getting to see her in the evening as long.

She has even been napping in her crib but we're going to have to work on the whole "going to sleep on her own" thing.

Absolutely precious! Love that big smile to go with the wide eyes. Can't believe she's 4 months already!! (I'm sure you can't, either.) I remember when Holden realized he could scream. We called him our pterodactyl. It was hilarious!

Four Months Old- WOW! I love the pic of her with her arm on the arm rest- with socks ON! What was up with the socks, anyway? Maybe she has a love/hate relationship with them..some pics on, some off, lol! LOVE her! She is getting bigger & bigger in that chair. You can sure tell she's growing! SRD- here we come! XOXO

Too funny you noticed Megan!
We took some before we went to a cookout (pre-socks) and then noticed that Travis got the lovely fan in the background! I wasn't sure if I could crop it or not so we took some later. haha
