My Girls, and My Messy Apartment

This was Ava before church a couple weeks ago. I haven't been to church since I had Lydia, so I've had some time to get Ava ready in the mornings, too bad it doesn't always last until church.
Precious, Ava ALWAYS wants to hold Lydia, it's pretty sweet.

Ava constantly wants to go swimming, I'm not quite sure why because she's pretty scared of the water. Sometimes when she's in the right mood she'll be brave, but that's not very often.

I LOVE this little outfit that Auntie Hayley gave her, SO CUTE!!

What a goof.

So, a couple weeks ago, our apartment got pretty out of hand. Blayne decided to take some pictures while me and the girls went grocery shopping. Of course, it doesn't look much better on a daily basis. I straighten when I can, but it pretty much accumulates all week, and I try to get it done on the weekends, and my very helpful husband helps a TON!!

Just looking at this picture, Ava just said, "Ava Belle's mess on the floor." Hahahaha!!!

How much do you LOVE yawning babies, I LOVE them!!! So sweet!

Another outfit that I think is SO cute, from Blayne's Aunt Loretta!

Whenever Ava puts on her sunglasses we call her "Hollywood", she really likes it. I think she looks so adorable in her sunglasses- hahahaha!

Sweetness.

On the weekends Blayne plays video games while Ava takes her nap and sometimes she wakes up before he gets it put away and really wants to play. Check out her concentration face, hilarious!

Looking at these pictures Ava looks SO sweet, and she can be, but sometimes she lets the monster within out. Now is one of those times, she's been testing my patience a lot this week. She was doing so much better, and she's AMAZING on the weekends when Blayne's around. He probably thinks I'm making it up when she's a nightmare. Lydia isn't quite as mellow as we first thought she was going to be. Her cry has DEFINITELY gotten louder!! She's really fun though and she LOVES Ava!! Ava's a great big sister, when Lydia's crying she'll give her her pacifier, or yell that I need to help her or feed her. Whenever she drools or spits up she tells me that I need to get her a birp rag because she's a mess. Can I just tell you that Ava has been put in timeout atleast 3 times in the time that it took me to post this, ridiculous. She's going down for a nap right now- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bunches of Pics

Man, Ava seems SO big now. It's crazy!

Ava wearing grandpa's hat.

Ava and grandma making popsicles.

Ava's very proud of her work- they were delicious!

Lydia, just chillin'- she does a LOT of this. Until about 8:30 at night when she starts having a bit of a meltdown for a while, it's seriously been like every night, but I'll take it because she's SO good the rest of the day.

Lydia right after taking a bath- she doesn't hate baths nearly as much as Ava did, it makes it a lot easier.

Ava comes and lies next to her whenever I change her diaper and plays with her, it's pretty precious.

This is what happened when I brought out the play mat, Ava likes to play on it. Little goof ball.

Some more chillin'.

We tried to have a little photo shoot of our own, doesn't Lydia look comfy? Hahaha.

I just thought Ava looked really cute that day, plus she was in a really good mood, which made her that much cuter.

Ava's been really liking to test my patience, but she's getting a little better and learning that she's not going to get away with stuff. Lydia's been great- she slept for 2- 4hour spurts last night, it was great- although I think I was almost more tired from getting more sleep. She usually wakes up about every 2 hours at night to eat.

Oh, I got a lot of questions on what drugs I got that wore off- I had an epidural, they aren't sure why it stopped working, but it did and it sucked. I'd still get it again though- before it wore off it was a DREAM!!! I was SO happy not to feel those awful contractions!

I also feel the need to give my take on the Bachlorette- Ali LOVES Frank the most, I feel like she's practically said it several times and he's such an idiot that he's going to ruin it! I actually like all the guys that are left, I'd be pretty happy with any of them, but I gotta say her and Chris were REALLY cute last night.

Oh, and Big Brother- my favorite is Lane, I'm not sure why, I don't know if he's even said 2 words, but I like him. Most of the people kind of bug me, I hope they get better!
