Playdates are Fun!

Ava had her first playdate today - okay, it was Anna and McKenna's school friends, but Ava was there! Aunt Jenny came along to help out and all in all it was a great outing. The weather was beautiful, so we played outside and Ava got some much needed sun to help getting rid of the final stages of her jaundice. I forgot my camera, so no pictures from there :(

Patrick is in Las Vegas this weekend with his friends for some March Madness fun, so Aunt Jenny and her dog are staying with us. Anna and McKenna love having her here and it is pretty good for me too since they went and found her a little before 6 am this morning instead of finding me!

Ava has decided that our bed is much more comfortable than her bassinet, but we are working on getting her to sleep in the bassinet. She sort of takes the paci, but only wants it for a short time until she realizes there is no food coming out of it and then she spits it out! The girls love to try and put it back in her mouth and since they both used one, they don't understand why she doesn't always want it - if they keep this up, she may learn to love it :)

We are back to the doctor tomorrow for Ava's 2 week checkup. We went in on Monday to check the jaundice, but since she wasn't back to her birth weight we had to come in a again. Hopefully, she will be well above 6lbs 9oz tomorrow and we can go get her newborn screen done.

On Saturday morning, we are heading out with Grandma and Grandpa to the country club to have an Easter Egg hunt, brunch and get our picture taken with the Easter Bunny. I will post some more pictures after that.

Hopefully this update will quiet all of you who have complained that my first post wasn't enough, I told you not to expect too much :) Here are a couple of pictures showing that Ava is pretty comfortable in her bouncy chair and papason chair. Until next time...
