Random pics & Sleeping update!

First, I added two pics of Ava, just to compare. The above one is Ava @ 6 months, about the same age as Mya is now. Mya is definitely becoming her own person.

I have to laugh because the above pic is Ava at almost 4 months in this adorable 6 month dress my Sister bought her and below is Mya in the dress for the first time, now at 6 months. The ROLLS on Ava's arms are just unbelievable, and those fat legs too. Such different babies!

Mya is also behind on the hair growth. She still has some of her baby brown hair, though I can see lighter blonde coming in around it.

We are working on her sitting skills, still not there, especially when she gets distracted and tumbles backwards.

Not sure why we are promoting MORE sticking out of the tongue, we get enough of it daily without prompting it.

LOVE the leg rolls!!!!

You can't read her shirt too well, but it says "Home Grown with Love".

I had to buy it, because she is my "home grown & homemade" child.

Ava needs one that says "Lab Processed with loads of money" Haha!

We got bored, so what better to do then make some cookies and let Ava do the "clean up work."

Mya is always laughing for her Sister, but makes us work hard for it, no fair!

Me & my Ava

First swing ride at the Park. It seems like forever since we've been to the park. I'm so ready for better Spring days to get here.

We are now mostly healthy, I still have a slight sore throat that won't go away, but I feel good. Jeremy decided it was time to Sleep Train (aka let baby Cry It Out). It's so tough for me, but now that we've done it, I'm kicking myself for not doing it a couple months ago. The first night there was LOTS of crying on and off, but then she slept. The second night some more on/off crying till about 11pm, then all sleep till the morning. 3rd night was a half hour of crying at 8:30pm and the rest of the night sleep till 6:30am. 4th night, NO CRYING and ALL SLEEP until 5:30am. The next day she slept till 7am. And surprisingly Ava has slept through most the crying with no problem and her sleep has improved. Before she was waking a couple times a night and coming to our bed, but all week she only did it once. Sleep is a good thing, but then I remember that I have a hard time falling and staying asleep regardless. And I'm a CRAZY dreamer. I watched two of my brothers fall to their death last night and I woke up feeling like it was real. But it's soooo nice not being awoken and having to crawl out of my warm bed 3-7 times a night. Yes, you read that right. It was getting upwards of 7 times between the two. Okay, I'm done ranting! Go Girls!!!!
