These past few days we've all been in "recovery" mode....I (Brittany) have been in this mode since last Wednesday evening. I had a slight cough for the past few weeks, but really thought it was nothing. Well...that all changed last Wednesday evening as the cough got worse and worse. I came down with the chills and then ran a temp on and off for two days. I am just now starting to feel a little better, but I still wake up several times throughout the night with coughing spells. So, I've just been trying to rest up...Unfortunately, the cold came at a really bad time...I had to miss TJ's extended family Christmas over the weekend and I was super bummed about this. TJ and Ava still went, which I was so happy everyone finally had a chance to meet Ava, but it was REALLY HARD to say goodbye when they left as this was my first night away from Ava....I survived, though, and TJ was super sweet and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day/evening while they were away. My cold also came at a bad time for another reason: I have three friends who all had babies within a week and a half of each other and I cannot visit them. :-( Ava has several new friends who she is wanting to meet real soon!
Ava and TJ have also been in "recovery mode"--Ava for the past two weeks. Family gatherings are VERY fun and we LOVE spending time with everyone, but I am realizing babies can get out of their routines fairly quickly and this causes them to be fussy and tired. I think Ava napped 3-4 times both yesterday and today. I think Ava is excited about going back to daycare tomorrow. TJ, like me, has also been trying to fight a cold. His isn't quite as bad, but we're trying to keep it that way.
Here are some fun pictures from the past few days:
On December 30th, we saw Ava grab a toy for the first time on her own, without us presenting her the toy. This was very exciting!!
This is one of Ava's favorite toys she got for Christmas. Her friend, Hudson, gave it to her. She can hold on to it really well and tries to put the whole thing in her mouth. It's very cute!
TJ got this bear as part of his gift from his family Christmas gift exchange this past weekend. People thought this would be great for Ava; however, she might have to fight Oreo for it. He went and sat on it all on his own. Now this is his "spot" when we rock Ava to sleep.
Sleeping in this morning...
Ava also really likes her strawberry teether she got this past weekend from the kids' gift exchange
Ava and I snuggling. She is catching some ZZZs while I am watching Power Rangers--yes, you read that right. I discovered Netflix has Power Rangers on instant streaming. Oh the memories!!! Oreo decided he wanted to join the snuggle party.
