Ava at 8 months.....
Wow.... How time fly's. Ava is so charming. She is such a joy, I miss her terribly when I'm not with her. She's growing so fast. I can't wait until I am done with school so I can spend more time with her! Her are her 8 months stats:

* She is wearing a size 3 diaper
* She's eating 2nd foods. She goobles down 2 jars and sometimes wants more fruit! I started cutting up fruit and veggies and giving them to her. She LOVES it!! What a big girl!
* She sits up by herself!
* She laughs, sings, claps, and waves hello!
* She weighs 21 pounds now!
* She is 28 1/2 inches long,the Dr said she is off the chart in length!
* She is sleeping a FULL 8-9 hrs a night!
* She is taking 6 oz's of formula only taking 3 bottles a day now.
* She LOVES juice! I give her Gerber juice with some water in her bottles and she sucks it down so fast sometimes she chokes herslef! Silly girl! We are working on getting her used to a sippy cup.
* We are working on her crawling! She doesn't do it yet but we practice!
* She is wears mostly 6-9 month clothes but sometimes I have to get her 12 month. She wears 12 months pj's!!
* She has 9 teeth!!!!!!!

*SHE SAYS "MOMMA" now!! It was sooo sweet the first time she said it 2 weeks ago! Now she says it all the time!

Opps!!

Um...... Wayne and I had a great time snowmobiling this weekend. Maybe even too good of a time!!! I'm able to take a pregnancy test on February 13th. YIKES!!!! I'm really not excited about this. I didn't want to have my children this close together. I wanted to wait until I graduated in 2 years to have another. It wouldn't be a bad thing, and it's all in God's hands but I just want to get my body back together first! Oh well I love babies and if I am than I am!!! You are all probably freaking out right now! Sorry, will keep you posted though! Oh and by the way, I'm OVULATING!!!!

Blogging, School, & Ava

Ok, so I really need to get better at blogging. I can't seem to keep up with everything I have going on in my life but I do enjoy this so it's something I need to keep up with! I will post some new pics of Ava but right now I'm at work and I don't have my USB cable! She is doing great. She's HUGE!!! She has her 6 month check up next week on the 28th. I will post all of her new updates at that time!

I started school last week. I am going Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nights from 6-9 then I have a on-line course I'm taking as well. I have a good feeling about school. I haven't ever went full time but I am managing well right now. I have a planner and I am very organized. I'm doing things ahead of time. Like all the papers I have this semester. I'm starting them early and knocking them out! I have 13 of them I have to write. I just got a new laptop so that will be helpfull!

It's sad because I don't get to see Ava as much as I want. I get jelous of Wayne because I'm the one who wakes up at 6:30 in the morning every morning for work, then off to school afterwards and he gets to sleep in every day and stay at home with our sweet princess every day and I cannot. This morning she woke up at 7:00 so I went into her room and picked her up gave her lots of smooches and put in bed with her daddy. She layed on the bed and talked to me and smiled as she watched me get dressed. She started to cry when I left the room and I couldn't do anything about it. As I walked out the door I could hear her crying even louder. Very sad. I have to do what I have to do for my family's future though.

Been a while..

Ok so it's been a while since I bloged. Just want to tell you all that Ava got her 3rd tooth the other day! She teeths soooo well! She's not too cranky when she teeths. She gets red cheeks and a little diaper rash and then whala there's a new tooth!!! She so stinkin cute! She used her infant car seat for the LAST TIME on Sunday!!! Her little feet touch the back of the seat so It's time to go to her big girl seat. Sooooo sad :( but not really. I hated that car seat. I mean it's a really nice expensive car seat but it was hard dragging that thing around especially with Ava in it! She weighs at least 17 pds now! She's just as long as baby Gage and he's 2 months older than her! I will post some new pics of Ava in her new big girl car seat this week! So keep checkin to see if they are posted! Love you all.
