Wow, it has been such a long time since I have posted. So many things have happened in the last month. We did get moved and are finally getting settled in. Moving was so much easier before Ava. This house would have been put together weeks ago, but Ava knows she runs the show. She has definitely kept her mommy busy!
It took a little while for Ava to get adjusted to the new house. I'm sure she felt our stress, but she didn't sleep very well for the first week or so. Kurt and I have been so tired! Ava was actually sick with allergies when we moved in. All the trips back and forth from city to city really did a number on her. Her allergies are terrible where we live now, so the doctor put her on allergy medication. The medicine has really helped and we are getting our sweet little Ava back.
I took Ava to the doctor today and he said we need to start her on table food. How is my baby already starting table food??? The doctor kept reminding me that she is a big girl now since she is 8 months old. I don't even want to think about it. I don't want Ava and big girl used in the same sentence. I want to keep her my little baby forever.
Beginning table food should be interesting considering Ava gags until she throws up when she is fed anything with a little texture to it. The doctor said if we don't start now with different textures and more solid food, I will end up with the child that will only eat chicken fingers and tortillas. For some reason, this comment makes me laugh every time I think about it. However, I will not be laughing when I post on here in two years frustrated that we can only eat at Chick-fil-a and mexican food restaurants. The doctor said with Ava's issues he is about 99% sure she will be the adult that can't swallow a pill to save her life. My poor baby! Hopefully, she will overcome all of these texture issues. Of course, she has a daddy that can't eat cottage cheese because of the texture and a mommy that can't eat pickles on a hamburger because I don't like crunchy things on foods that should be soft. Maybe she was doomed from the start!
I have received multiple emails requesting pictures of the new house. We are finally about done with it, so I will try to post some pictures this weekend. Again, this has been a very slow process. It is driving me crazy. I am very ready to have everything done so we can just enjoy the new house.
My sister is having her baby on Thursday, so check back to see pictures of the newest addition to the family. This may be a big week for my blog...my first post in over a month, pictures of the new baby, pictures of the house...
It is now officially my nephew's birthday, so Happy 2nd Birthday Caleb! We love you very much!

I figured I'd better comment on here since I probably won't be doing so for a while!
I'm SO glad y'all live close to us; it has been wonderful to spend so much time with you and enjoy being moms together. I know Levi is going to love his Aunt Kiki and Uncle Kurt, just like Caleb.
Love you, sis! See you later today for Caleb's birthday celebration. :-)
Glad you are back online. Can't wait to see the pictures of the kids. We will miss you here but know that you and your family were meant to be in the new place with your family near. Blessings to you all!
glad you are back and bring on the pictures ;)
Welcome back! You have been missed. I'm glad to hear that life is settling down for you again. I can't wait to see new pictures of Ava. Soon, I hope. =)
