Ava 16 weeks

This has been an exciting week in our household. Ava finally figured out that sleeping in her crib isn't so bad and she now goes down without a fuss or with little fuss at all. I think she actually enjoys sleeping in there. This weekend she has been a little under the weather, but seems to be better today. Friday and Saturday she had a runny nose all day and was very fussy. Naps were a waste so yesterday we finally got her to lay down in the afternoon and she took a very long nap while I went to visit my cousin Courtney and baby Trent in the hospital. After that she seemed to be feeling better and was happy as can be.

Her new thing is that she loves to play jump jump jumparoo in our laps. It is the cutest thing because we'll be holding her and all of the sudden she'll bend her knees and start bouncing so we have to bounce her up and down while she throws her legs up and down to bounce. Sometimes she looks like she's tap dancing. She is also loving that she can grasp things and her hand is constantly in grabbing motion even in her sleep. She grabs anything she can get her little tiny hads on and puts it right into her mouth. She is of course always all smiles, coos and raspberries. We have her 4 month check up and shots on Tuesday. YIKES! I'm dreading the shots but looking forward to seeing how much she's grown since our last appointment.
