Olivia's Pics

Here are a couple of Olivia's latest pics. She looks just like Ava at this age, just a lot more hair. I can't believe she's already 2 weeks old!

Ava's Reading Spot

Ava likes to crawl in the closet in this little "hiding spot" and play. Well... she found the books mommy was hiding until she is older. Guess I should've hidden them better from my very resourceful little 2 year old. Better luck next time I guess.

Singing in the Rain

Grandma got Ava an Elmo umbrella which was such an exciting thing. The day after she got it it just happened to rain! She had a blast showing us how to use her umbrella, sometimes not in the appropriate way.

What a view!
I love my umbrella!

Mary Poppins?

Christmas with the Cromwell's

I call this year Ava's first "real" Christmas. Lance also pointed out that it is her only one by herself with her sister arriving any day now.

She was pretty surprised on Christmas morning, and quite hesitant as to what was going on. At first she went up the presents, grabbed one, and made one little tear, looking up at me to see if it was ok.


After a little approval, she quickly got the hang of opening presents and we were well on our way to Christmas bliss and wonder. We let her open all the presents, whether they were for her or not.


Then the grand finale... we had her tricycle covered by a blanket seen in the first picture, and she had no clue to look under it. After we were done opening all the obvious presents we got dressed ate breakfast in preparation for her demand to ride her new tricycle.

We unveiled the tricycle and she was so excited! With a HUGE smile she jumped right on it and pretended like she was driving it. We took her outside with it, and she is definitely getting the hang of it quickly. We have tons of fun watching our little girl have fun!

Gone Fishin'

Ava had her first fishing experience with daddy today. Daddy would cast out the pole and Ava would reel it in. She smiled every time daddy threw the bait in the water.

Guess it's time for a toy pole so our little tomboy can fish with her daddy!

Woah nelly, that's a belly!

I'm 37 weeks prego, and I feel really huge! I had to have Lance take a picture because I know it won't last too much longer. It's still hard to believe we will have a baby soon!
