My mom and youngest sister Brianna came in town this past week to spend some time with us now that school is out. Ava is loving being the center of attention! I am too actually! Having them here has been such big help for me. I always have people to hold her and play with her so I can get things done around the house. I have given Brianna the job of picking out Ava's clothes for the day, including her pj's. She has been Ava's personal stylist! I always find the outfit of the day lying on the changing table in the morning. :) She even makes sure that the diaper bag is always stocked and ready to go. I have found lots of pacifiers (which Ava still doesn't like but Bri is trying), extra diapers, blankets, burp cloths, outfits....you name it, Bri has made sure that Ava has it if she needs it! She is such a good little Aunt and loves Ava so much. Brianna has always been such a nurturing little girl. She takes care of everyone around her. Mikey was taking a nap the other day and she got a blanket and covered him up AND she was even brave enough to massage his feet!! I got the same special treatment and it felt awesome! Here are some pictures taken from this week. They are staying with us for another week, woohoo, so I am sure there will be more pictures taken of their visit!

Bath time! This time I had an extra pair of hands!
Normally Ava cries when we wrap her in her towel after bathtime, she knows the fun is over and it is cold, so Kay Kay put her towel in the dryer to warm it up before wrapping her in it. She was much happier!
Look alikes
Brianna combing Ava's hair
Look at those eye lashes! She at least got that from her mommy.
Bedtime story with Bri (told you she was a big help!)
My mom and Bri offered to babysit so that we could go out on our FIRST DATE NIGHT!! After Ava was asleep we went to dinner at Macaroni Grill. We were only gone for about an hour and half at the most but it felt like we were gone for 3! It was nice to not have to inhale my food and worry about a crying baby. I had a wonderful dinner with my sweet hubby! Thanks Kay Kay and Bri.

Mommy and her sweetie pie
My other sweetie pie needed some attention too. I know I talk a lot about Macy needing attention but she has really been such a good dog since Ava has been born. She is so sweet with her and just follows us around from room to room. She was always the center of attention before Ava so I know it must be hard on her. We try our best to make sure she is included.
Mikey's Grandpa and my mom at lunch. Gigi drove through Dallas again to drop off Grandpa and Aunt Karen at the train station to head back to NY. We met them downtown for lunch before they headed back. Gigi spent the night with us and we enjoyed yummy fajitas and margaritas made by Chef Mikey!
Brianna, Gigi, and Ava at lunch. This was the "calm before the storm". Ava was ready to go about 10 minutes after being at the restaurant.
Mikey's Aunt Patty made these cute booties and bonnet for Ava. She looked ADORABLE in them and I think she liked how soft and warm they were. She was instantly all smiles when we put them on her!
Little snow bunny! Who says you can't wear a warm bonnet and booties when it is 102 degrees outside?!
