Girls in dresses!

We haven't had anything going on this past week. I actually only left the house once this past week!! :) Here are some pictures from this past week at home...

Piper playing with daddy; she likes to jump on his tummy!!

I think it started as an airplane ride...

Jumping!

Cool shades Piper! She keeps them in her trunk on her car... just in case it's too sunny when she is driving!

Our little angel sleeping..

Check out the outfit-- snowman jammies with her gold shoes!

Playing on Friday with her big sister... Piper had every single toy out upstairs for Ava to play with. (much to her dismay, Ava would rather just be sung to or held)

Cheese, mommy!

Playing with the doll house

Cheese, ABA

Piper was peeking through the dollhouse windows

Busy this morning dancing! Piper is really into dancing, she especially loves the chicken dance!

Cheese! Piper wanted to wear a pink dress today; she also demanded that Ava wear a pink dress too!

Ava wearing her pink dress!

We had a nice weekend at home. Piper loves to stay in her jammies, so it was probably noon or later on Saturday before she was changed. Ava and I have been doing lots of cuddle time today and yesterday. I am starting to feel that my maternity leave is coming to an end-- WAY TO QUICKLY. We are under 3 weeks left. :( I have started doing some work from home, a couple hours a day, so that will help me ease back into it.

Piper loves to have Ava play on the floor, she always wants to talk and play with her!

Piper likes to set up her blanket by Ava too and lay with her! She is getting to big for her blankey!

The girls sprawling out in there jammies on the floor!

Piper is trying to keep Ava entertained during tummy time. You can see Ava's hair has a reddish tint to it.

I can hear her say-- "It's ok Aba." As she does every time Ava starts to cry... so sweet!

Ava showering with daddy for the first time; she loved it!

Sweet Ava Grace! (This is outfit #4 from yesterday morning; she tends to be a spitter- oh well, then she gets to wear all of her cute outfits)

Starting to show her big blue eyes! Two blue-eyed girls! :) Wait.. make that three with me! :)

2 Months

Ava had her 2 month well check today. Everything went well; she did great with her shots. It was harder on me as I ended up helping with them. She has grown quite a bit since her last appt. She is up to 11 # 3 ozs, which is in the 62nd percentile. She was 23 inches long, 75th percentile. I looked back on Piper's baby book and at 2 months she was almost the same- she was 11 # and 23 inches. (Daddy's books is here too-- he was 10 #11 oz and 23 in)

Ava is starting to smile a lot and has been busy talking to us-- lots of cooing! She is still a pretty mellow baby, gets upset at times when she is gassy! We are still getting up 2-3 times, I am hoping it is down to 1-2 when I go back to work! (Wishful thinking I know!)

Piper is doing well; she is almost officially potty trained! (She has been going potty for the last couple weeks, but didn't want to go poop-- she did today and we think we had the breakthrough as she realized it wasn't scary!!) We will be so thankful when we have just one in diapers! She gets so proud when she goes potty, it is so cute! We are so proud of her!

Our little photo shoot the other day didn't go quite as well as I hoped-- Ava got fussy in the end and was really squirmy!

So pretty!

A 1/2 smile

She has been playing with her tongue a lot this past week

Snuggle time with Uncle Rich

I finally threw out all of Piper's nuks as it has now been a nuk-free month!!

Piper loves to lay with Ava!!

It looks like she is doing CPR-- not quite sure what's going on here.

Hugs!

Cheese!

Jakey and Ava

2 months!! (Ava was not wanting to look at me)

Piper lost her shirt at supper! Last minute hugs before bedtime tonight!

Christmas 2010

As Ava and I are busy taking down our Christmas decorations, I figured I better get the rest of our Christmas pictures up on the blog before Christmas is officially over in our house. :)

We went to Buxton on Christmas day, after we opened presents from Santa at our house and went to our local church. We had a great time in Buxton! We took the kids again to the waterpark at the Canad Inn, which was fun for all! We also went to the CV gym to let out some energy.

Piper opening her stocking from Santa. This was the only morning that I can ever remember having to wake her up!! She was so tired from the night of fun before at Erica & JJ's house

Daddy helping Ava-- she got some new nuks!!

First Christmas!!

Piper opening some of her gifts

In Buxton-- Piper was helping Grandma in the kitchen. She is wearing her new apron from Katarina. Grant wanted to dance with Piper.

Uncle Timmy and Harper

Our family

The crazy cousins sporting their Christmas Jammies!

Grant is sure happy!!

Tackling Harper

Opening presents! Piper got a dress up box from Brooks and Megan, along with some "fancy" things. She got lots of new dresses and costumes from both Brooks and Megan & Brent and Molly. She was in heaven! She loves to dress up!
