Full House

Well, it's official. Ava and I have survived one whole week with Morgan at our house. And things could not have gone more smoothly. Morgan plays, sleeps, naps, plays, sleeps, naps... Sure, there are a couple of dirty diapers and spit-ups thrown in there, but overall, Morgan is a rock star baby and Ava and I love spending time with her.

In the mornings, Morgan is usually dropped off before Ava gets out of bed. When Ava wakes up, the first thing she wants to do is say hello to Morgan. This particular morning, Ava wanted to read books to Morgan and play with her on the play mat. I'm so thankful to have a daughter that is such an amazing helper, and who has such a loving heart.

This past Thursday, not only did we have Morgan to play with, we had Izzy as well! Gotta love some girl time. Izzy and Ava are just 2 weeks apart, and they play so well together. We enjoyed playing with Ava's toys, making crafts, and having a picnic lunch in the middle of the living room. While their faces look less than interested in what is going on... believe me, they were full of energy and laughter the other 99.9% of the morning. **Side note: Izzy's full first name is Isabelle, but everyone calls her Izzy... including Ava. Somewhere along the line, Ava overheard someone call Izzy Isabelle, so now, Ava calls her Izzy-belle. I love it.**

Today, we had another visitor come spend the morning with us. Say hello to Finn. What a handsome little man.

Poor guy... Most of Ava's toys are pink, or accessories, or dolls, or just plain girly. Finn found Ava's very pink, and very floral stroller and he played with it all morning. He wanted it to be known though, that while he enjoyed pushing the stroller around, he certainly wasn't going to be caught taking a baby doll for a ride. Oh no, he made sure to add some testosterone to the situation by pushing around the only blue thing he could find... his sippy cup.

What a great week. I love spending my days at home with Ava, and now Morgan. Having other little ones over is always a blessing and well, just plain fun!
