Ava's new bestie is here!

My best friend Katie had her daughter yesterday, Nicole Elizabeth. She is beautiful, but that's a given because she looks so much like her mommy. I got to go see her on my lunch break and she is so tiny. I was surprised at how light her hair was, I can't believe that Ava's hair is darker than hers.She weighs 6 lbs even and was 18 inches long. She feels so light now compared to Ava. I just know they'll be the best of friends just like moms!

It's funny that they scheduled her c-section on 8/2 because she was supposed to have had a baby shower here in Fayetteville. But luckily I went to her shower in Harrison on 7/23. Here are a couple of pictures from that.

 The Fabulous Miss Mesha Marley, Katie's almost 5 yr old daughter. She absolutely loved Ava. She wanted to hold her, feed her, change her. Whatever she could do to help and I know she's going to be such a little helper with her new little sister.

And for some randomness, I put Ava in the bumboo chair for the first time today. You'll have to excuse the bib, she's starting to drool some now. Plus she's got a runny nose right now. But I think she likes it.

This little stuff animal is hilarious, it makes a lot of weird noises. I was trying to catch her smiling at it but the flash on my camera kept distrating her.

 This is also the new game we like play. Her legs are so strong already, she can stand up supported like this for a really long time. She just likes to look around and make sure she's not missing anything.

 I just love pictures of her when she's sleeping. They're just so sweet. Plus I love this outfit, even though my mom complained about it the entire time she was wearing. It came from Bella Jacks and they have the cutest stuff. I'm also a little partial to things with birds :)

 And another game that her daddy likes to play with her, he calls it fish face. I don't think she enjoys that game so much!

And finally Sadie was not immune to the fish face game either. Sadie and Ava are getting to be a lot of fun together already. They're so curious about each other.
