Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our hearts.
Happy 4 months Ava and Ella! The time is passing way to quickly for daddy and mommy! You both are getting so big and you girls are making us so proud every day! This past month was full of changes, milestone moments, hugs, naps, bottles, smiles, giggles, gurgles, snuggles, diapers, baths, and lots and lots of love! Every day is a new adventure with you girls and your dad and I are having so much fun watching you grow!
Ava Nicole
You have been so busy this month! Your personality is showing more and more and everyone loves spending time with you! You weigh 15 lbs and 14 oz and you are 24.8 inches long. You are doing such a great job holding your head up by yourself and you rolled over the exact day you turned four months (which was perfect timing because Aunt Nicole, Grandma, Ryan, and Dylan were all here to cheer you on!) You are such a good eater and sleeper and you wake up smiling every morning! You are very patient and sweet with your sister and you let her pull on your clothes, chew on your fingers, rub your head, and mommy's favorite, hold your hand. You love to listen to stories and you have found your thumb - we can always find your thumb also (in your mouth!) You are moving so much that we can't take our eyes of of you! You will roll, kick, or squirm out of your swing/bouncer and to the other side of your blanket. Your favorite toy is Sophie the Giraffe (thanks Grandma!) and you love to talk to her, chew on her, and hug her while you are in your swing. You have an incredible laugh and we love hearing it!! We love you so much Ava!
Ella Justine
You are our little firecracker! You have so much personality and you are starting to "talk" more and more! You are constantly kicking your feet and moving your arms and you are grabbing everything you can get your hands on! You love to look in the mirror and spending time on your jungle activity mat. You pull on the monkey and talk to the mirror. You have almost tripled your weight! You weigh 14 lbs 1 oz and you are 24 inches long! You like to listen to stories, but you really love music most of all. We sing to you every day and you often "sing" along with us. You love the "Notekins" (a music show on BabyFirstTV) and get so excited when you see "VocabuLarry" the parrot. Your favorite music seems to be pop and the top 40 just like mommy. You also love when we dance with you. We can no longer call you "the little one" and we are so grateful that you are such a happy and healthy baby! You also love Sophie the Giraffe, but your favorite is your wubbanub froggy (pacifier with a stuffed frog attached) We love you so much Ella!
Ava & Ella
You bring so much joy to our lives every day! Grandma keeps saying that we have a fun house now and she is so right! Your laughter is the best sound in the world and your hugs and cuddles are the best feeling in the world. We are so excited to see what the next month has in store for us all!
