What's happening here..........





Ava is 3 months old now. Both kids went to the doctor in the last week and got all their measurements done. Ava now weighs 13.2 pounds and is 24.5 inches long. She is not rolling over yet but rolls all the way on her side-- i know it won't be long. She is perfectly content laying on her back or side. She coos all the time though and loves to get attention. We will be getting her 3 month photos soon to send out. The doctor sent her for an ultrasound to check her hips- since her fat folds were uneven- and they came back normal. We were kind of worried- since she has an extra fat fold on her one leg--she's a chubby little girl all right!!

Aiden is now 27 pounds and although they did not do his height--his home height measurement is about 33.5 inches now. Aiden is also starting to talk alot now. He says all sorts of words. "Sissy" (is what he calls Ava- since that is what we call her), "frog, Foo Foo, please, thank you, uh-oh, water, cereal, phone, tree, kitty, wow, boat, car, momma, dadda, bye-bye, hair, eye( and he about pokes my eye out when he pokes at it), Roll ( when he is teaching Ava to roll over), door, go, fork, shoes..... and lots more. It is amazing how his talking is taking off. He says thank you to everybody all the time-it is cute.

I am back to work now after a long maternity leave of 5 months total. It is going well. Aunt Melanie is doing a great job with the kids at our house while we are at work. Scott is off some days that i work too and is at home with the kids while i am at work- 6am-8pm!!. He was experimenting with nipples when i called him from work the other day.LOL... Actually he was seeing which flow nipple works best in Ava's bottle--the faster ones worked better for him. It was funny. Oh the joys of parenthood!! He says it is easy taking care of them--"a breeze". Well depends on which day you ask him. Lol..

These pictures are of Aiden snuggling with Ava and giving her a kiss. Some sibling bonding....
