New "Firsts"...
Hello Everyone,
Well, I tried to prevent it, but it was inevitable...Ava caught her first head cold. She has been handling it pretty well, although her mother has a tough time with it. She started to sound a little congested on Monday...sneezing and a slight cough. NO FEVER- PRAISE GOD! I was so torn up about it, I cried. (What's new? :)) She is almost completely done with the cold already, and has been sleeping as she normally does. I could have kicked myself for allowing tons of people to hold her, but they say that this can be a good thing since it is building up immunities. SO, I am trying to look on the bright side. We head off to Lorain, OH for a couple of days to see Titi Lisa (Aunt for those that do not know Spanish), Uncle Chad, Primo Gabe, and Abuela & Abuelo Colon. After that we are headed off to St.Louis where we will get a chance to see our dear friends Jen & Steve and their daughter Amelia on Christmas Day, before heading off to our final destination...Lincoln, NE to see the rest of our family. So- Ava will be quite the traveler...Pray that it all goes well. She really doesn't like going anywhere right now. We are hoping that this changes one day. I have also posted some more pics for your viewing pleasure, one of them by demand to see more of Corey :)(this is for your Hunter :))...He certainly is an incredibly gorgeous father...and a good one! I started to feel a little under the weather yesterday, and so he stayed home ot take care of us..while running an errand to Babies R Us, mopping the floor, and visiting the pediatrician. WHAT A MAN! I have a good one! Enjoy!
Love,
Cyndia

Latest on our Bundle of Joy...
Hello Everyone,
Well Ava turned 2 months today...Corey and I were reflecting on how quickly these past two months have gone. Ava has made some incredible strides recently. She is now napping 2 2-hour naps a day, and is less fussy at night. (As a matter of fact she only cries a little when she is hungry or poopy :)) She smiles some incredible smiles on cue...(they just melt your heart)...coos a ton, and is getting bigger by the day. We just got back from the pediatrician and Ava is now 9 pounds 6 ounces...23 inches long (still in the 75% for height, but 25% for weight)...She is long and lean- like we like to say around here. I, like any good mother, have been worrying a ton about her weight, but the doctor said..."Ava is growing beautifully..." Some incredibly reassuring words from the professional :)...She is so beautiful...She also got all of her immunizations today...ABSOLUTELY broke my heart. I was in tears as soon as the needle hit her little thigh. The nurse was a pro, and probably got all of the 4 shots done within 5 seconds flat...Through my tears, I thanked her for being so quick. She was so kind. The days seem to get easier, and she is still sleeping fairly well- although every night is different. Sometimes she will sleep for 4 hours, sometimes 5 or 6 straight...The doctor wants us to try to get into a routine with her sleeping sometime in January...I am ready for her to be in one now, but he suggested to try it after we come home from the holidays. I have attached a couple of recent shots...for your viewing pleasure...I will update more with new shots as soon as I get the chance...(Please pray that she doesn't have any reactions to the vaccines...)
Love you all,
Cyndia for Corey and Ava
