Little lady you are 9 months old!! Mommy is already thinking
and planning for 1st Birthday that will be here before we know it!!
Here is what you have been up to lately
Weight: 21 lbs 7 oz (85%)
Height: 29” (85-95%)
No Work: Mommy and Daddy were both off for Martin Luther
King Jr Day. It will probably be one of the few times we are both off work at
the same time. It was fun to spend the day with you. It was cold so we mostly
stayed inside but it was nice to all be together.
Trusting my instincts: Mommy took you to the doctor because
you had a runny nose and you were fussier than usual. I thought you had an ear
infection but the Nurse Practioner looked in your ears (for maybe a second) and
said that you did not have one. I should have made her check again and be more through
(like your doctor always is) but I did not. As a result, Mamaw Crofford had to
take you back to the doctor because your eye started to be really red on the
top and bottom of your eyelid and had all kinds of goop on it. The doctor said
you had a double ear infection and gave us some medicine. I felt this could
have all been avoided if the first appointment would have been more through.
Poor little girl so sick!
First leader weekend: We went to Great Wolf Lodge during the
day to spend time with our team and hang out with our new leaders. You are
always so great when we go places and always a crowd pleaser.
Basketball Games: We went to U. Timmy’s basketball game and
you had a great time watching the cheerleaders. When they would do cheers you
would smile and try to clap, it was too cute! You went to see your cousin
Jeremy play basketball too. You were a little fussy at the game (you were
tired) but still were great while the game was going on. Mommy and Daddy also
went to a Taylor basketball game and took you along. I thought you might not
like the loud music from the band and noise of the crowd, but you did great.
You were happy the whole time (even when it was past your bedtime)
Cuddle bug: Mommy stayed home one day because of all the
snow. We sat on the couch for a little bit and watched TV and I kept thinking
about when you get older how we will cuddle on the couch and watch movies or shows
together. Right now, you are too interested in everything to cuddle but I know
you will want to eventually J
Pizza Olympics: Every Olympics Mommy and Daddy’s friends throw
a Pizza Olympics party. They call five different pizza companies, order the
same thing from each, and then wait to see who delivers the pizza first. This
year they did a running of the torch, a homemade pizza contest, pizza eating
contest, and also played the Olympic theme song when a pizza delivery car showed
up. There were soo many people at the party and since it was cold we were all
inside for the majority of the time. You were the youngest participant at the
pizza Olympics and did great with such a big crowd. Mommy brought home the gold
by winning the homemade pizza contest.
Happy Valentine’s Day: We do not usually do anything too
fancy for Valentine’s Day and this year we stayed home because of all the snow.
I had fun taking your picture in a cute Valentine outfit though.
Loving her pretty shirt :)
Ava your smile is contagious and you bring so much joy to
our life! You are constantly making me laugh with the funny faces and sounds
you make. We are so blessed to be your parents and cannot wait to see you
continue to grow. We love you little girl!!!
