We're Back ...

So after a 2 month hiatus, part my fault, part our computer that died, we are finally up and running with a new computer (thanks to lots of convincing from Jon). To catch you up to speed on things, we made it through the holidays and enjoyed time with both of our families and even some of our extended. It was a busy time but we enjoyed seeing everyone! Ava continues to keep us on our toes so there is never a dull moment in our house. She has really come out of her shell this fall and is quite the social butterfly after warming up to people. She continues to amaze us with her verbal skills and is learning a lot at daycare. She loves singing and at this time the most popular on her play list are the ABC's, Happy Birthday and I Love You (Barney Song). Also, as some of you know, her hernia surgery which we had done in August did not take. As of last week, we had rescheduled for January 22nd that was until our trip to Urgent Care on New Years Day. We were informed that her left ear tube has fallen out and she has an ear infection. So an appointment with the ear surgeon was made for next Monday and we will know more then which surgery will be occurring first. We tell ourselves Ava likes to let us know she is here and kicking and has let us know since the day she arrived but we love her all the same. So enjoy the next few posts and we will keep you updated on the next steps with her ears and belly.
