2 Teeth!

Anna Riding without Training Wheels

Last weekend Anna decided she wanted to take the training wheels off of her bike and this weekend she got it!

Ava: 1st Cereal

The other day Ava was watching us eat and trying to put my spoon in her mouth so we decided to give rice cereal a try. She loved it way more than I was anticipating. She opened her mouth, she aggressively attacked the spoon and tried to grab the bowl. There were lots of smiles (and only a few "what is this" faces).

Ava: 1st Tooth

After what feels like months of chewing on her fingers, a tooth finally popped through!

Daddy Daughter Dance

On Saturday Erik, Anna and Maddie headed to the Father Daughter Dance at the Bedford Clubhouse. They enjoyed dancing with their friends, eating snacks and dressing up for the photo booth.

Tummy Time

Ava is starting to enjoy a little time on her belly each day. Before now she would usually cry (or try to lick the playmat).


This week she figured out how to roll over. It is currently not so graceful as she pushes off and thunks onto her back looking around to see what happened.


It won't be long before she will be everywhere :).

Ava: 5 Months

Ava is now 5 months. In general she is a happier baby enjoying smiling at everyone she meets. She will hang out in the jumperoo or bumbo for a little while, especially if her sisters are entertaining her. We're still working on not getting up so much at night, she really loves the nighttime cuddles.
