Happy 2009!

We survived the holiday season! Ava had a very nice Christmas, and received the most gifts bar none. Ava spent Christmas being passed from one relative to the next, and clearly loved the attention. Ava is starting to entertain herself more without the help of her parents. The baby einstein baby gym is raw fun for her as she bangs the toys around. She is starting to learn to grab objects, but it's hard to tell if any intent stands behind her act. Amy is now back to work full-time which hasn't been easy for her. A work friend of Amy's who had a child one month before us will be taking care of Ava. She's a great mother and we trust her implicitly to do a great job! Ava is gaining weight nicely, but this also means her car seat which we lug around is really getting heavy. I'm already looking forward to when Ava can walk! That's all for now.
