Ava is Two Months Old Today!

She turned 2 months and had her 2-month checkup. The good news: she now weights 10 lb. 4 oz., up from her birth rate of 5 lb. 5 oz. Gosh, she's almost doubled in weight! Here's she mad because of the three shots she had--and she's hungry: She ate--and fell asleep. Isn't she sweet? Oh, she's starting to wake up again: And she's very happy! (Yes, this is a smile, not what you think.) It's hard to catch her with her very cute smiles, but I got this one with a half smile: She's growing up!

Abbey and Ava in October

On Sunday, October 18, 2009, we held a family activity in West Point (Andrea's home) to celebrate Eric's and Todd's birthday. Here are some pictures of the Klein girls at that activity and later in Orem. The proud grandparents. Scott holds Ava, Beverly holds Isaac: Four cousins eat lunch together on a little table outside. Clockwise from left front: Grace, Skylar, Abbey, and Alec. Grace, Ava, and Abbey play on the floor before going to bed: Abbey and Grace in their pajamas stand by two witches. The proud dad Eric shows off Ava:

A trip to MT

A few weeks ago I went with my parents, brother, and Ava on a short trip up to Montana. Everyone worked on fixing up the house, while I played with the kids (lucky me!). Here are some fun pictures from the short trip:

This was the night before we left for MT, when Ava stayed at my house. I hope her daddy does mind that I kiss her cute cheeks 100x a minute. She is so cute!

We were suprised by snow on this visit. It was soooo cold! Abbey LOVED it, but I hated it. Too cold!

Eric was happy to be with Ava again after being apart for a while.

We all had a good time together!

Newborn Cousins: Ava and Isaac

Ava and Isaac are cousins, born just 8 days apart. Here are some pictures of them together. Captions Contest What's your best caption for this photo, taken at Jeniel's baptism? Mine is: "All those who think girl babies are cuter than boy babies, manifest it." In case it's not obvious, Ava in pink is on the left, Isaac in blue is on the right. At a luncheon with the Gardners and Zimmermans, we took these pictures of the cousins: A closeup of the two cute babies: June and Gabriel loved playing with their two new cousins:

The Faces of Ava

Abbey in Lolo and Ava in Orem

Scott and Beverly were in Lolo for almost a week to help Eric. Beverly took the opportunity to sing with Abbey: Sheri had Ava's crib all ready for the new arrival: In Orem, Grace loved holding Ava: Ava gets more alert by the day: And she keeps getting bigger and bigger: We love having Ava in our home.

Little Miss Abbey

Abbey at Sheri's Memorial (9.2.09) Looking back on Sheri's blog I noticed a post about how Little Miss Abbey (as Sheri called her) started sicking out her tongue for pictures after a trip to Utah. I wonder why? Could it be that she has crazy Aunts? Abbey with Aunt Melissa after Sheri's Memorial

Aunt Suzanne & Aunt Andrea also at the Memorial. We all know that Sheri would have been making faces too!

Or maybe because she has silly cousins? Grace, Skylar, and Abbey during that trip to Utah (July '09)

What ever the reason behind Abbey making silly faces, she definitely knows how to be silly!
