Ava has been one big crybaby lately! She has been very fussy,sometimes all day, and sometimes just in the evening. We are trying all the tricks, but she is still so fussy. I made a doctor appointment because we were worried something was wrong with her or hurting her. The doctor said she looks great, her exam was perfect, and it's probably just colic. Since colic usually peaks around 6-8 weeks, the doctor is pretty sure this is what the problem is. Thank god for my family!!! My parents and Emily have helped us out a lot just by giving me a break after a long day, or babysitting so AJ and I can run errands. I don't know what we would do without them! Thank you Mom, Dad, and Emily!
Here is a picture of Ava with her new stuffed lamb chair that Joanna sent for her!
Ava is 8 weeks old! I can't believe how fast time has gone by, our little peanut has been around for 2 months already! She has already changed so much, and is now starting to suprise us with little smiles! Her little facial expressions just melt our hearts. She has her 2 month checkup at the doctor this week, so we will see how much weight she has gained. She is still not a fan of "tummy-time" but likes hanging out and stretching on her back. Still loves her swing and rides in the car, and she has become quite the shopper too! She is such a good little companion for me to run errands with and loves to go out to eat and meet up with my friends from work and their babies for playdates. I seem to love her more and more every day. 
Happy Easter! Here is Ava in her Easter dress. She was not a big fan of the hat, but I was able to capture of few moments where she held still enough for me to take a picture. We had Easter brunch with the Wilbergs. Ava loved watching her cousin, and my goddaughter, Annika (who is 1 year older) walk around and giggle. Won't be long and they will be walking around and playing together!
Ava is already 1 month old, I cannot believe it. We still don't have much of a routine, she naps and eats at different times every day. She is starting to be more alert during her awake times, she is making good eye contact and moving her arms and legs around a lot. She is finally sleeping in her crib at night too. My mom told me she had read somewhere that you can use a heating pad to warm up an area in her crib before putting her down, and she will settle into her crib better. It has been working like a charm for us! She is sleeping usually 4 hour incriments at night, which hasn't been too bad. We take naps in the morning and I sleep when she does so I have been feeling plenty rested. We are still doing lots of photoshoots, she is so photogenic!
