He is almost here!!

Oh my,

I have not blogged for many months, I just did not seem to find a minute to do so that I wasn't working, playing with Ava, getting ready for the baby or SLEEPING:)  We are so excited to welcome our baby boy next Tuesday the 17th.  I have a scheduled c-section at 9am and will be happy when he is here.  Last week he measured 9lbs, so I am thinking we will have another large baby on our hands.  This time we were smart and only purchased 3month clothing and larger:)

Ava is doing wonderful, she has a giant personality.  Her favorite things to do are help, tell you what to do:), mimic, play with her dolls, play with playdough, play doctor, and play in her cardboard house.  She is a busy bee, keeping everyone on their toes.  Right now she is potty training and has atoddler bed in her room to get used to for when we have to make the transition.  Right now she just pretends to nap in it and has everyone else pretend as well.  She is also excited about the baby and can tell you where he is now, where he will sleep and where he will sit in the car.  I think she will do amazingly well with the change.  Simon and I watch what we say daily, because her comprehension is brilliant and she will often respond when we are not talking to her:)  She has also started to repeat everything we say and can use Please, thank you and bless you in the right context.

At Daycare, her favorite friend is Isaac, she talks about him all the time and often mentions him when she sees the color blue.  She also talks about Niece ( her teacher Denise) and Sue-Sue ( her teacher Susan) and seems to love going each day.

We are blessed to be bale to have Simon's folks here to help us out with Ava and with the baby when I go back to work after 6 weeks.  It is nice not to have to put him into daycare until the 6-7 month period.  We are also blessed to have my floks coming out to spend some time with us, Ava and the baby in January.  I am sure my mom will get my house spick and spam:)

Hopefully more to come soon!!!  I have not sent out my Christmas thank you's yet.  Thank you all for the wonderful gifts for us and Ava, she loves playing with them all on a daily basis in her new playroom.
