Amber is 28. Ava is 7 weeks old TODAY!

November Fun

Ava attends her first ball. The Retro Furball Ark-Valley Humane Society fundraiser that is...

Where she met her first crazy people... her Ark-Valley aunties.

Under direct supervision from mom, of course!

With the weather getting colder, Ava dresses in her Yeti outfit before going outside. She is acting her part!

All bundled up, the baby Yeti is ready to walk the dogs.

Grandmother, Judy came to visit with her two dogs, Dixie and Tucker. Moby, in the blue jacket, is Ava's dog. No licking allowed!

Three generations. Three different hair colors!

Judy and Dan's new house. It's snowing!

And Growing!

Ava is enjoying life to the fullest as every baby should.

Ava = 6 lbs
Bob = 12 lbs
Moby = 18 lbs
Anton = 150 lbs

Bheri keeps a watchful eye.

Party central!

Daddy time...

One Week Old Movie Star

Ava received her first mail package! It was a digital camcorder from her grandmother, Judy. Unable to resist the spotlight, Ava insisted we start filming right away...

First Days

Day two, mom and baby are tired and content.

Colostrum for lunch.

Day three, Ava has her first outdoor adventure -- a walk on our trail with dad, mom and the dogs.

Day four, the midwife, Susie, and her assistant, Adrianne, make a second visit to the house after the birth. Ava gets her health and hearing checked. All is well.

Later, dad reads while Ava gets a sunbath.

She's such a happy baby!
