We are 24 weeks pregnant. I say "we" because little Ian (yes, we decided to name him Ian!) is our baby. I'm trying to instill in Ava that taking care of the new baby is a team effort and she gets to help in every aspect - bathing, snuggling, loving and nursing. It's already such a joy to see her embrace the concept of a little brother. She enjoys patting my belly, giving it hugs and kisses and saying hello to baby. And does this little boy like to kick! I've felt him since VERY early, but it's fun to see the movements from the outside and feel the differentiation between different baby parts as they dance inside my belly.
Ava continues to amaze and entertain us daily. Toddlerhood is full of precious and also silly moments....too many to describe. She is talking so well, putting 2-3 words together and comprehending even detailed instructions. Her and I are so attune to each other and are so closely bonded, even while she is becoming more independent than ever. I'm so deeply in love with her.
Did I mention Ava loves Mexican food?
