Nana took everyone to Six Flags yesterday for Preston's birthday. It was so much fun! The last time Mike and I were at a themepark was in Utah at Lagoon and it was before I got pregnant. It was Ava's first themepark (and definitely not her last!). Nana watched Ava when we all rode the roller coasters because she didn't like them. I hurt my neck - possibly whiplash - on one of the rides. But we all had a really great time, including Ava.
She was so good. I brought frozen milk for her but still had to feed her a couple of times and one of those there was a strange guy who sat down on the bench next to ours and tried to get a peek! Wierdo. Ava finally figured out how the bottle works toward the end of the first one. It was funny to see her twisting the bottle's nipple around her mouth trying to get it in the right position.
Nana and Ava rode the Merry-Go-Round with everyone!
When asked what she thought of Six Flags, Ava gave it a big thumbs up!
Lol, she was sleeping like this at the park.
Me on the Merry-Go-Round.
Putting more sunscreen on the baby. Ugh - this is a really bad angle of me! But look what lifting that baby is doing for my arms! :)
Ava really enjoyed looking at all the people and rides.
This was me trying out her shoes. As you can see, they're still too big.
Those ruffles are just so cute I couldn't help but take a picture. She's getting so strong and big!
When we got home from Six Flags Ava started getting really congested. She was sneezing all day but I hoped it was pollen or some other aggrivation. Nope, no such luck. It's a full blown cold. And she kept waking up and crying every hour or so last night because she couldn't breathe. Poor kid really doesn't like having the sucker bulb up her nose but it helped a little bit. I really hope this doesn't last long. She is SUCH a great baby. When she cried last night I'd turn on the bedside light and get out the bulb and she would wake up all the way and just smile so big. Through her watery eyes and snuffling shnoz she was just so happy to see me it broke my heart. I think she will be good at taking the bad things in life in stride. I'm definitely going to do my part to make sure she stays this way. I'm so lucky to have her in my life.

Ok, the thumbs up picture totally cracked me up! That was an awesome caption. Did you get saline to put in her nose before using the bulb? It really helped to break it all up when Andrew had a cold. Glad you guys had fun!!
