Well, a lot has happened since our last post 8 weeks ago. Ava is growing more and more each day and becoming more and more alert. She smiles a ton and coos constantly. It is just too cute! She continues to enjoy visits by many relatives and friends here in Chicago. And, she even took her first road trip...8.5 hours to Buffalo to meet the family. Lisa's parents were generous enough to host a "meet and greet" so all the Buffalo-based family would have a chance to meet our little angel. Ava did so great the entire day and really put on a show for everyone: smiling and giggling and enjoying all her attention.
In the past month or so, Kevin has traveled to Spain twice for work. Luckily, we timed things just right. Lisa's Mom & Grandma stayed with her in Chicago during his first trip and Lisa was in Buffalo for his second trip. We were so fortunate to have the extra help and company.
With spring setting in here in Chicago, Ava has been enjoying many neighborhood walks with Lisa and Schatzi. And, just the other day, she took her first trip to the local dog park. She was mesmorized by all the dogs running around with Schatzi. And while we're on that subject, Schatzi has been amazing with little Ava. She is so gentle with her and gives her kisses while passing by. It's adorable and we're so happy things are working out.
Ava will take her first plane ride in a few weeks as we travel to Virginia Beach for Alia's wedding. Besides being super excited about the wedding, she can't wait to see the ocean for the first time and to meet the Johnson side of the family.
