4 month photos and an update.

We went and had Ava's pictures taken a few weeks ago. She is four months old in these photos. I thought they turned out really cute. I was a little nervous that they wouldn't turn out because she cried almost the entire time! She never cries! She is usually the happiest baby, but of course the first time we take her to have her pictures done she cries the whole time. Luckily we did get a few smiles out of her. We ordered the first one and the third one down, they were my favorites. (Thanks Aunt Linda for this cute dress!)


She looks so evil in this one. I think she was mad at us because she just wanted to get out of there! haha

You can kind of see the red around her eyes from her crying in this one.


So I haven't blogged in over a month and it's mostly because at the end of the day all I want to do is sit on the couch and stare at the TV. I have six kids (including Ava) coming to daycare now and when the day is over I am physically and mentally spent! I can't believe how much it takes out of me! I know things will get better once I get a good routine down and once all the kids get used to each other. Right now everything is new for me and for them so we are all adjusting. But I think I'll be able to get back to normal in a few weeks. So because my week days are full of daycare my weekends have been really busy trying to get caught up with everything and of course trying to get a little relaxing in.
When I took Ava in for her 4 month Doctor visit she was 15lbs 12oz and 26" long! Both in the 95th percentile for her age. She grew three inches in the last two months! She is as healthy as ever! She is so much fun, she rolls over all the time, loves to hold anything, loves to blow spit bubbles and do raspberries with her tongue. She is on the verge of giggling, I just can't quite get it out of her yet, I know it will be any day though. I can't wait to here it!

Oh my gosh! Ava is so adorable in those pictures. You would never have known she was crying if you didn't mention it. She is getting so big now. I look at her and can't believe how old she is. I am glad you are having such a great time with her and that she is such a great baby. I feel for you watching 6 kids during the day. That is a lot to handle but you can do it. Thanks for the darling update.

So CUTE! She is getting so big! I love the one of her sitting and the close up ones of her face. Those pictures turned out so good. You sound like a busy woman these days watching 6 kids. Wow! I'm impressed. Hopefully once you get the routine down you won't be so tired at the end of the day. I'm impressed.

I think you got some great pictures! She is so cute in that little dress and headband. Wow I admire your hard work running a daycare with 6 kids. that is a big jump from none to one and now to 6. Good luck with that!!

I love those pictures! You can't even tell that she was crying. And I can't believe that you are watching 6 kids. Are the other 5 around the same age? I think it is pretty easy to watch them when they are the same ages, they seem to get along better. Good luck with that!
