We have spent the majority of Ava's first three weeks of life at home, as her doctor does not want her out & about much until after her two month vaccinations. It is such a blessing that I am able to be out on maternity leave for ten weeks and Clint is on summer break for eight weeks, so we can spend a lot of time just hanging out as a family of 3!
We let Ava try on some of her shoes. These are newborn size and WAY too wide for her foot. They looked more like clown shoes on her.
This was our first attempt at watching "Ava's movie".....Baby Einstein. She was not very interested.
We went on our first walk......at 2 weeks. This was the first day mommy was allowed to walk after delivery. We are hoping to get into a walking routine, but are still working at that.
Ava loves being outdoors, but wasn't so sure about the stroller, so mommy carried her the second half of the walk.
This was a little pallet we made Ava in the living room floor. She likes to look around and is always using her arms. 
We went to church when she was two weeks old. We broke the doctors rules on this one, but kept her in the sling the whole time. She slept through service.....praise & worship band and all. Clint and I really were happy to get out of the house and we really like our new church, Woodsedge. We found it two weeks after moving here and already feel at home.
Ava is very alert right after she eats.
Our new friends from Woodsege, Aaron and Julie, brought over Pei Wei one night and Ava had her first play date with their daughter. Lilly is 5 months old, so she was much more active, but I think her and Ava will be good friends in a few months.
We were digging through Ava's bow drawer and decided the girls needed to try them on.
Uncle Alan (Gina's youngest brother) returned from his year of study abroad in Germany. He was very excited to meet his new niece.
Ava was excited too! I have been telling her about my 3 brothers/ her 3 uncles since she was born........Uncle Alan, Uncle Mike, and Uncle Jeremy. She will meet the other two next weekend, when my family comes to visit.

She is so DARLING! I just love all the pics! I've been praying for you all and especially for you to heal up quickly:)
You guys are such a sweet family! Ava gets prettier every day too (if that's possible). I hope you're feeling better!
Wow little Ava has been busy for only being here for 3 weeks!! How cute that she slept through church. I love the girls trying on bows!
Hey, we are going to try out Woodsedge this weekend. We've been to Crossroads and Stonebridge but didn't like either of them. Hopefully we will see you there. Dee
She is too cute...Loved the pictures.
Gina,
Ava is so cute! We will have to meet in Houston sometime and get the girls together. Keep the pictures coming!
