This week i sent out invitations to Ava's first birthday party. We're having a cupcake party. Simple, adorable, and delicious. I've taken care of all the details - invitations, food, supplies, table cloths, balloons; but I did forget one very important thing - presents! We haven't bought the first present and the bad thing is, my mind is drawing a blank when it comes to what to buy! We have so many toys, but I guess it's time for Ava to have some "girl" toys, instead of always playing with trains, tractors, airplanes. The sweet little girl even knows how to make the "vroom" sound when she "flies" a toy plane.
It's time to bring some pink and purple into the playroom!
But before I can get to the toy store, I have to tackle the mountain of laundry that has piled up this week while I've been nursing a sore throat. I've done my best to keep up with my house duties while sipping as much hot tea as possible, but the dirty clothes snuck past me. I'm not sure if the pile in Lucas's room is clean or not; he likes to spend his afternoon naptime pulling out all the clothes from his dresser and make piles in his bed. Just a minute ago, I found him with baby blue socks on his hands. Apparantly he is doing sock puppets today.
We are weaning Ava off of her bottle (three cheers for no more expensive formula) and introducing her to soy milk. I'm not really sure how to wean a baby from a bottle, since I didn't have to with Lucas, but last night we cut out her bedtime bottle, so i think that is a good first step. Thankfully, she is proficient at drinking from a sippy and seems to enjoy the taste of Silk. We also upgraded her paci from a newborn size to one for 12-18 months. She only takes the paci to sleep, but I recently came to realize that her paci no longer takes up half her face, so it is probably time for an upgrade.
I'll be saving that paci, so I can find it again in the years to come, *sigh* deeply and wonder why I can't remember her being that small.
Just in case you forgot, here's a really cute picture of Miss A with her paci!
