Happy Easter! We had a wonderful Easter weekend! Grandma Sheila and Grandma Shell took Malia to the Easter egg hunt in Fircrest and she had a blast. She was well prepared after watching Max and Ruby's Egg Hunt a thousand times:-) We are doing well with our new family of four...Aaron is amazing! He does everything...I can't imagine not having him as my hubbie/teammate. Life is great...Ava is a blessing and I feel truly lucky to celebrate such an important holiday with such wonderful blessings!
Malia and the Easter Bunny!
Malia with her cousins...she loves Makenzie and Claudia SO much!
Picking up the candy...she knew exactly what to do!
Easter Beauty!
Malia's auntie Robin got her this outfit...it was so adorable and said Baby's First Easter!
These are our dear friends, Becky and Arlo. My family loves them dearly and we were so glad they came for a visit. Becky played well with Malia while we watched the Masters :-) Good friends are such an amazing thing to have!
Malia loves to play music. She insists that Aaron and I have an instrument, too. Then she sings and dances. It is hilarious...we are thinking of going on the road.:-)
Ava Renee' is 2 weeks old today! We are adusting and doing very well. I am healing well from my C-section and ready to rock and roll:-) Ava has nights where she sleeps great (for a newborn) and nights that I feel like I must be in a sleep study to see how little sleep you can get and still function:-) Every single second of it is a blessing!
Ava is so alert. Her pediatrician cannot believe how well she can focus. She is 30 percentile for weight, 80th for height, and 50th for head size. No 99.9 percentile for head and height like sister:-). The dr. is not worried about her weight. She was supposed to gain about 7 oz last visit and she gained 13...she's doing great!
And it begins...the chair pictures. I did one with Malia every month until she turned 1. Now we do it every year. All pics are posted outside her room so we can watch her grow. Ava was such a champ taking her pic!
Malia is transitioning wonderfully. She has moments where she will melt down but overall she has done fabulous. She continues to crack Aaron and I up. This is her wearing Daddy's shoes and being Super Weela (she calls herself Weela instead of Malia...it is hilarious!) . If you ask her, her name she says Weela Kathryn Qualls. If you ask wear she lives, she says Acoma (Tacoma). I feel like I am living in a coma right now too:-)
On our way to take Malia to school. She took cookes for Ava's birthday! The last pic of the family of three!
Almost ready to have Ava! We arrived at 10:30 a.m. and she was born at 1:46 p.m. That is my kind of birth!
Ava...only a few hours old!
Happy girl!!
The whole family is together!!
What a cutie!
Big sister, Malia is holding Ava for the first time!
