Week 16

Week 16

After living in Orlando for the past 5+ years, living literally 10 minutes from the back entrance to Disney and free tickets to pretty much every theme park (perks of Jordan's job) it is safe to say we don't really act like tourists. Instead it's more of... "oh look at those people" comments we seem to make. Well no matter how many times I have been to Disney apparently when you have a kid it doesn't matter! Anddd we only took Ava Joy to Downtown Disney. We were the obnoxious picture taking people and it was soooo FUN! We also bought her a Minnie Mouse that she loves. Jordan found one of those light up spinny things that she became fixated on so we bought that too. It is an excellent baby crying stopper in the car. At least when Jordan's driving and I can sit in the back and push the button for her to watch. :) In a week and a half we are planning to take her to Epcot. Yep, that means more crazy picture taking and waiting in lines to see the characters! And to think this is only going to get more fun Ava Joy gets bigger and starts to really love all of it! 

Tuesday was Jordan and I's 10 year dating anniversary. We decided to celebrate by going out to eat at Bonefish with our baby in tow (of course!). I have only left Ava Joy twice so far (both times with Jordan) once for 4 hours and the other about 2 hours. I am spazzing out about returning to work. I feel like I am never going to want to leave Ava Joy for a date night or anything else voluntarily since I am going to have to leave her for work. I know it's important for Jordan and I to spend time together so we've been making an effort to spend quality time as a couple in the evening when Ava Joy goes to sleep. I'm very glad my hubby understands! 

This week Ava Joy also mastered the gorilla sit. She can sit very well with her arms helping her stay propped up. She stays steady for quite a while.... but the second her hands come off the ground she starts tipping over. It's all so cute. I just love my little gorilla! 

Here are some pics from our week:
