The Warrens in Action: Making Progress...

TJ and I are very proud of our baby girl this past week. As you've probably heard me say before, Ava was doing pretty good in the evenings up until she caught her cold at the end of November. Ever since then we have really struggled to get her sleeping in longer stretches again. It was hard to get past the 2.5-4 hour mark. Well...this past week Ava was a rock star. Not once, but TWICE, she slept more than 8 hours!! Sunday night, January 6 Ava slept for a little over 8 hours (cannot recall the exact time she slept from) and Friday night, January 11th she slept from 9:30-6am (woke up at 3:30 just to give her paci, but she fell right back asleep) then ate her bottle and slept again from 6:20-9am. AMAZING! (I am trying to document everything specifically since I still don't have a baby book...I need to use the blog for now. :-))

This past weekend we finally got Ava a Bumbo chair. I wasn't sure how she was going to do, but she actually really seems to enjoy it. She is very attentive to everything going on around her, so I think that's why she likes it...she is sitting up and can look around. We are also trying to work on tummy time a bit more. Ava really does not like it, but we know she needs to do it so she can work on both her arm and neck strength.

Finally...we want to give a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to Hudson Stickrod who turned 1 today!! :-)
