Past Couple Days of Fun!

We have been enjoying our time off. Here is a peek into what we have been up to..

Ava decided it was a fashion statement to put her headband on and backpack on.

Noah and I did some tummy time and played with Ava. Noah LOVES to watch Ava play. He smiles and his arms and legs start to go a mile a minute.

Ava got a new water table to play with from Grammie. We also bought some ABC foam mats. The main purpose is for them to go under our pool, but then for Ava to play on in the summer because the cement is too hot.

Noah had a follow up appointment with the GI specialist, Dr. Kolpuru, on Wednesday. He weighed in at 17 lbs 4.9 oz. He is getting so big. So big that he has practically outgrown his 6 month clothes. I went to Carters the other night because they were having an awesome sale (70% off) and got him some 9 month clothes. This outfit below is a 6 month and will be his first and last time in it. Anyway, I digressed. Dr. Kolpuru wants to keep him on his reflux meds because he is still refluxing. We are also keeping him on his special formula. She said that it was ok to start solids. We have been giving him solids once a day. We have done Sweet Potatoes, Squash and Prunes. We are going slowly because we want to make sure there are no food allergies. He seems to sleep better when he gets his solids. He has been sleeping better in general. Our pattern seems to be 2 nights of sleeping through the night and 3 nights of waking at least once. He is also napping better. Not all are great, but he does 2 hour naps without me having to go in and settle him. He is still at 3 naps a day and they are not consistent, but we usually get one good nap (1 1/2 hours-2 1/2 hours) and two 35-60 minute naps.  He still hasn't rolled over, but if he is on his belly, he will turn his body to get to his toys.

Here he is in his 6 month outfit that he has outgrown.

What a cutie!!

We pulled out our pool from last year today and got it all set up and played in it today. It was really nice. It made it feel like vacation. Ava loved it which is a one eighty from last year where she was afraid to even go in it. I put Noah in for a couple of minutes. He didn't love it and he didn't hate it. He is very serious.

 Tomorrow we are off to the zoo and then to a pool party on Saturday. Fun times still to be had on this vacation!!
