2 Months Old!!!

We had Ava's 2 month check up today, and as expected she is off the charts!!! 13lbs 15.5oz (14 lbs really), and she is 25 inches long! She is cooing and smiling and following faces and voices- all the things she is supposed to! She's also just as strong as her brother was at this age, holding her head steady when upright and even standing up on our legs! Jolly Jumper, here we come!

Todat we stopped in the infant room for a bit to star practicing for Thursday when Mommy has to go back to work. Ava will be fine (though Mommy will be a mess!), she took a bottle from one of her teachers and was looking around at all the noises from the other kids. Until the end of April she will be the youngest in her room, then another baby will join who was born 2 days before her.

This past weekend we hung out at home and also went to the Science Center in Hartford. Miles had a blast pretending to be a penguin, flying paper helicopters and playing in the water room. We'll have to go back since we dodn't see 2 floors worth of stuff! What a great place!

Enjoy the latest pictures!

March Update

Here are some more pictures and a video of Ava "talking." Enjoy!

Happy St.Patrick's Day!

We celebrated St.Paddy's Day like we always do- with a good boiled dinner at the AOH in New Britain.

Also in honor of the holiday Miles will now do his Irish Step Dancing! We showed him a video of Riverdance once and that was all he needed to recreate it- with a little of his own flair added :o)

The Next American Idol?

Miles loves singing, and Auntie got him an MP3 radio for Christmas so that he could download songs and play them on his own (instead of messing with our CD's).

He has a very eclectic array of songs from Maynard to Irish Folk. He is so expressive when he performs them and gets his moves going. All we did was show him one YouTube of "Riverdance" and he was step-dancing away to the Irish tune (we'll have to get that on video soon!)

Here he is lip-synching to Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me."

New Update and Pics!

Lots of new pics to share!

Ava is growing at a rapid pace. We see the pediatrician on the 29th so we will see the official weight, but we're guessing she is somewhere around 14lbs. We are still waiting to see if her eyes will remain blue or change overnight like Mommy's did.

Miles is still enjoying preschool- he had crazy hat day at school to help celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. We are in the process of registering him for Kindergarten (OMG!). I have no idea how can be old enough to be going to Kindergarten- 5 years has flown by!

Mommy and Daddy were able to enjoy a night out thanks to Nanna and Papa. We went to the Mill at 2T to celebrate Dena's birthday (the big 3-0). This is our favorite restaurant by far. They only have 7 tables and a counter where you can watch the chefs prepare the meals that change daily. Believe it or not those counter spots are the most coveted seats since you get to talk to the chefs and watch every move they make. The food is incredible!

Enjoy the pictures!
