Ava is 4 months old today!  Last week at her doctor’s appt our suspicions were confirmed: She is a chunky- monkey, gaining 2 lbs in the past 4 weeks alone, and remains in the 75^th percentile for her size.  She continues to meet all of her age appropriate milestones and then some, already rolling over and even sitting up on her own for short periods of time.  She loves her Jolly-jumper and her legs are getting so strong it can be difficult to hold on to her when she’s squirmy.  The doctor told me that given her size, I should begin looking for signs that she is ready to begin eating rice cereal.  I nearly fell over…she is growing up so quickly.

We all headed to Cayucos for Thanksgiving and had a blast (see pictures).  Kylee and Ava had some much needed bonding time as did Ava with Grandma and Grandpa and everyone else.  I missed my mom quite a bit and thought of her a lot, so was glad to be with family that week.  Ava unfortunately caught her first cold though and also started teething so we had a few sleepless nights.  I return to the office environment part-time tomorrow and I’m already wondering about how wise of a decision that was.  I feel like I will be lucky to last a week.

We still hope to be in San Francisco for the holidays and hope to see many of you soon!

Love, Bonnie
