Three, Oh, it's a Magic Number

So we're a day late and some pictures short with Ava's three-month photos. She decided to celebrate the three month mark by helping Dad look at some properties, made a quick stop at her friend Olivia's house, then took a five hour nap. That didn't leave much time for pictures! As of Friday Ava weighed 10 lbs, 10 oz., which skyrockets her to the 18th percentile for weight (up from the 7th percentile the month before). Somebody is going on a diet. (just kidding Mom)

Ava has dicovered her fingers and spends a large amount of time spitting out her pacifier, crying, then finding her fingers to soothe herself. It's quite the exhausting cycle...for her and for us.

Ava still enjoys growing her hair out. Yesterday she got her first blow-out, which resulted in the above. She also rolled over for the first time this weekend. She was so excited about it that she promptly fell asleep and napped for an hour.

Here's Ava modeling Uncle Rob's sunglasses.

Her head hasn't quite reached gigantic Erickson proportions yet.

Ava with her cousin Leonidas visiting from Greece. Leo says Ava needs to come to Thessaloniki to discover what spoiling really is. I say she doesn't need to go that far to get spoiled...her grandparents have that covered just fine here in the States.

Ava thought Eirini was really pretty and fun; she's had lots of practice with her cousins

Anastasia and Christina.

Ava and her friend Mary. Mary is going to teach Ava lots of things. Like wine-drinking, shopping and stiletto-wearing.

Ava and Uncle Rob. Rob is teaching Ava about avant garde movies and hip bands that

Mom has never heard of.

Ava and Steffy-pants. Steph teaches Ava about journalism, hobbit boots and how to end words with "-sies". As in, "Ava's shirtsies is cute"

Here are some random bath pics from her 3 month birthday...

Horns (but sweet, angelic horns)

Tomorrow Ava leaves for Naples for two weeks so there will be LOTS of pictures when we get back. Signing off for now...have to go pack several teeny weeny baby bikinis for our trip.
