*Roll Over* & Sassie!

She did it.  My baby girl OFFICIALLY rolled over.  It happened Sunday, September 5th.  It happened a day to the year that I found out I was pregnant! We are so proud!! Yesterday, we had her 4 month appointment and found out she weighs 14lbs 9oz and is 25 1/4 inches long.  Dr. Sood says she will be taller than her momma! Yay! She won't have the same problem I do...that all my pants are wayyy to long!

Also, its been 3 years since we said goodbye to one of my best friends growing up...Sassie! She was the best dog in the whole world.  I miss her everyday and think of her often.  I know she would absolutely love Ava if she was still around.

I think that picture is the only picture we have of Sassie & Sugar together.  It was the last christmas Sassie was here to enjoy.

Sassie & I on my wedding day! I really wanted her to be the flower girl but the catholic church would not allow it...

We miss you Sassie!! We still love you!

3 months old!

This has been the best 3 months of our lives.  You are such a good baby! You weighed 11lbs 13 oz and were 23 1/4 long at your last doctors appointment.  You are drinking 4 oz of formula every 3 hours.  You are sleeping 8 to 10 hours a night and taking 2 or 3 short naps during the day.  You have started smiling and "talking" which is sooo cute. You like going for walks and playing with your raddle.  You do not like tummy time at all.

"your going to miss this"

So, this has been a fast but "trying" week.  Ava has had an interesting week.  She has become VERY fussy during the day and is usually not like that.  She is 8 weeks old now (which I cant believe).  So, this week my usually happy baby turned into a fussy, unhappy baby which breaks my heart.  Well, what I have figured out is this is normal.  It is part of their development.   All she need is a little more love and cuddling from me and we can get through this.  On the way home tonight, I heard Trace Adkins' song "Your gonna miss this."  Of course, I started bawling because even though my patience has been tested, I will miss this time!

The chorus says: "You're gonna miss this
                       You're gonna want this back
                       You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
                       These are some good times
                       So take a good look around
                       You may not know it now
                       But you're gonna miss this"
