A Whirlwind...

is what I have been in lately.  My very wonderful boss received a phone call from the Governor on Monday, July 12 at around 10:30 a.m. to say that he was to be sworn in as the newest Superior Court Judge in the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit!!!!! Everything has been total chaos for me since then...in a good way of course.  So very soon Mr. Rumer will take the bench and he has asked me to come along with him and continue to be his right hand woman!  I feel very privileged that he thinks so highly of me, but this means lots of prep work in a very short time.

Anyway, along with the exciting judgeship news Ava and I had a baby shower for my sister, Robyn, to attend.

I can't believe that Candler will be here in just a few weeks!

Saturday, July 24 Ava turned 4 months old!  Can't believe it!

Here is a collage of how she has changed (top right 1 month, top left 2 months, bottom right 3 months, bottom left 4 months)...

(If you click on the collage it will get bigger and you can see the difference a lot better.)

Today we are going to visit the magnificent Hadley Scott for her 4 month panel pictures.  I just can't believe that it is already time to do them!  And next week we go see Dr. Flowers for her 4 month well check and shots.

At four months old Ava can:

-  Roll over to her tummy, but cries when she gets there because she hasn't figured out how to get back.

-  Still doesn't really like being on her tummy, but she can push herself up and look around a little bit now.

-  Tries to scoot when she is lying on her tummy.

-  Grabs her feet and almost pulls them to her mouth.

-  Babbles non-stop at all times of the day and night.

-  Wakes me in the morning babbling not crying.

-  Sleeps until seven most mornings.

-  Enjoys eating rice cereal made with Apple Juice.

-  Enjoys sitting in her high chair long after she has finished eating.

-  Recognizes mommy and daddy and greets them with a smile.

-  Plays with simple toys, but enjoys chewing on a burp cloth more.

-  Enjoys standing in her ExerSaucer.

-  Still loves Dinosaur Train and SuperWhy on PBS.

XOXO
