Two Weeks Old

The last week has been a busy one for us. We have gotten out of the house a lot more which has been nice for all of us. Mommy and daddy are both very social and like to be out and about and it seems Ava Kate is most happy when she is out socializing as well. She seems to love new people and is always so content when someone new is holding her. Saturday she went to her first barbeque at Matt & Shelly's family lake cabin. The weather was pretty yucky so it was an indoor barbeque but it was still a lot of fun. She got to see Lily and Tessa who are only about 10 months older than her and I'm sure will one day soon be some of her favorite friends. Sunday Ava Kate had a really big day! We got up that morning and went to Sunday school and she got to meet all our sweet friends from church. She did so good in there that we decided to stay for church too. She didn't cry at all until right after the singing because she was getting hungry. She was still so content after church that we decided to try to go to lunch. I had been craving Olive Garden so that is where we went. She was an angel at lunch as well and didn't make a peep. We were on a roll so we went to my grandparents house and nana, pop, aunt Natalie, Keller and Ethan all came over too. She spent all afternoon sleeping on everyone as she was passed around. We came home and decided to go for a walk. This was her first walk in the stroller and she loved it! She slept most of the walk. We even got to stop and visit with the Phelps when we passed their house. It was a very big day for our little lovey and we are so proud of how well she did! Monday daddy had to go back to work and we were all sad about that but so far the week has gone pretty well. We went to Nana's house for a visit on Monday. Monday night was a bit of a late and fussy night so we spent Tuesday at home resting and doing some laundry. We look forward to our evening walks with daddy when he gets home. She really loves to ride in the car, go for walks, eat, lay on her changing pad and look around at her nursery, be in the sling and sit up in daddy's lap. Mommy's favorite things are to listen to her sleep, watch her make funny faces when she is trying to wake up and snuggling! She is changing and growing everyday! She smiles a lot, already lifts her head and uses her hands to fight away her passy and anything else she doesn't want in or near her mouth- we think she is going to be a leader. Her second toe is longer than her big toe just like mommy's which is supposedly a sign of being a leader (or some like to call it bossy). She is a bundle of joy and everything and more we ever dreamed she would be!
