* 3 months old *

I'm 3 months old today!
My new thing is sticking my tongue out at everyone and everything!
And I can almost roll over :)


A little update in the Mulford house: We have experienced our first ear infection with Ava.  Although she was super smiley and coo-ing like crazy over the past couple of days, she was barely eating and was very sleepy! Thanks to the doctor we have some medicine and will be feeling better soon!

Have a great week!

* Happy Friday *


Happy Friday!

Fooling around -- just a couple pictures I took with my phone over the past couple weeks.

Silly Ava -- she loves to hang out on her changing table. I get the most smiles from her when I am changing her diaper. Crazy.

Night Night Sleep Tight -- After Ava  has a long converstaion with the spots on her blanket, she tires herself out. Love her.

* Mommy must haves *

 

*Car seat cover from the greatest store on the planet -- Target!
This is great for the cold Iowa winters, it's easy to take on and off the car seat and it's washable!
Cozy, durable, and safe for your little one!
* Aiden and Anais snap bibs are AWESOME! My sister in law introduced my husband and I to these bibs and let me tell you.. they are great! They cover their entire chest and shoulders just in case there is a spit up accident!! Dirty mess = clean outfit :)

 

*Spots are the new thing! At least for Ava anyways .... She has a blanket that is full of spots and can sit there for hours just staring at them. She will coo, smile and try to grab them all at once! Who needs a TV when you can watch your baby learn!
*Bouncy Chair, Bouncy Chair, Bouncy Chair ... Thank God for who ever invented these!! Playing or sleeping Ava LOVES to be in hers.
 

*I will admit that I had no idea they even made pacifier clips before I was pregnant but I am sure happy I discovered them!! I can't tell you how many times I have lost Ava's pacifier, but thanks to my NUK friends they made it possible for that to never happen again! Clip on to their outfit and go! Easy!!
*Medela bottle are a must have -- we have tried the Dr. Brown bottles as well but these just seem to make eating time fun for Ava.  The sides are easy to read just in case you stop to read what ounce you are on and they are super easy to clean!
 
* The Baby Bjorn -- Love it! Going on walks has never been more fun... you get your exercise while your baby can look around at all the exciting things on your walk! It is also great because you are hands free!! Laundry, Vacuuming and cooking dinner is no longer a "can't do" As long as I stay moving Ava enjoys being in hers.
*Okay moms if you don't already have a Boppy Pillow, go get one! We use Ava's for sleeping and when she has a cold it is great because it keeps her head elevated so she doesn't have hard time breathing when she is trying to sleep! 
 

*Grape boogie wipes -- Right now, they are my favorite because when I see a running nose there is no fussing after I wipe it, I really think Ava likes the grape smell! mmm!!
* Last but not least, a baby swing -- Thank you to my wonderful parents who got me this for a shower gift, it saved my life for the first 6 weeks. Ava spent a lot of time in hers, she loved watching the birds go around and around while listening to the music or nature sounds that it plays! The music lasts a long time so no need to worry about it turning off while your baby is trying to fall asleep. Must have!!!
