Playdate with Baby Jordan

Last week Ava and I went to visit Baby Jordan who our friends adopted. He was such a little peanut. I couldn't believe how light he was in my arms, it felt so good to hold a newborn again. We hung out for a while, he slept, ate and slept some more - I also forgot how much they sleep. When he finally woke up and showed us his big blue eyes it was my turn to hold him and Ava was not so thrilled with this move. At first she just looked at me holding him, then the tears started to flow. It showed me that we need to start preparing her more for the arrival of her little brother, I guess getting her a baby doll and stroller just isn't enough.

Ava the Elephant

This year Carlyle had a kiddie Halloween party for all the employees tike's. Ava came dressed as an elephant and had such a good time. She loved all the attention and playing peek-a-boo through the glass offices.

A very tired elephant. It was an exhausting day for both of us, when we got home she played for a while and fell fast asleep. Mommy went to bed soon there after.
