Daddy's allstar

Ava attends Daddy's softball games on Wednesday and Friday nights! She even has her own Jersey.. Ava #5... both times we were there Daddy hit a home run!

Ava's visit with Zachary and George

We had our first visit with Zachary Schwarz and George Pesant last week! George being the older man of course and Zach at only 2 weeks! Andrea is doing and looking great and the babies (and moms) look forward to a summer of fun together!

Ava's 2 month check-up

I just had to include Ava's war wounds....she got 2 shots at the Doctor's office and was such a big girl! It was a bit tough but she woke up in the morning as good as new and very refreshed after sleeping it off!

The Christs came to visit!

Saturday, on Ava's 2 month anniversary, Carrie, George, Elana and Ilyssa came to visit. We had a cook out in Liberty State park. The rain held out but it was windy! The girls had a great time playing on the equipment - as Ava napped on George. Lots to celebrate as Carrie is expecting another little one!

Ava and Daddy - 8 weeks

Today we captured one of her first REAL smiles!

AND...

Ava has officially started sleeping through the night! We get a whopping 6.5 hours (3 days in a row!) So she wakes up super happy and playful..

Ava loves her activity mat which was a gift from Grandma. On the other side of the flower there is a mirror - which she is smiling at!

nap time?

sleepy face?

Just kidding!

There is nothing Ava looks forward to more than a random afternoon snuggle with Daddy.

Liberty State Park - Ava and Brodie

Tuesday Ava had her first trip to Liberty State Park - and her first "date" with Brodie Mcloughlan. Brodie lives downstairs from us, and yes, he is a younger man (by 2 weeks). Zach and Frank you have some competition!!

Memorial Day Weekend

The Garcia family started labor day weekend with Aunt Kristen and Uncle Matt. We had a wonderful dinner out side in their courtyard in Hoboken, Ava at the head of the table of course. The night was quite eventful as we asked Kristen and Matt to be Ava's Godparents, and Kristen and Matt asked us to be in their wedding party! Very exciting and fun evening.

The weekend continued with a barbeque at Meridith and Chris's new house, and then another down the shore! Ava had quite the weekend full of road trips - needless to say she loves the car, and the fresh air!
