Sisterly Love

 We are having a nice weekend.

One thing we have noticed is how much better Ava seems

to be doing lately.

She is back to actually wanting to please us and make us happy.

Not every second, but most of the time.

 Having a new sister has been hard on her

and for awhile there it seemed she was after

our attention in the negative sort of way.

I have been trying to keep my focus on her

and more and more the focus goes to Norah

who is unbelievably cute & always doing new things.

 But rather then just getting naughtier, 

Ava has actually been trying to impress us

with her awesomeness, which is an old hat for her.  

We are beyond happy with this turn of events.

In true form, now that I have said it out loud

things will probably change.

She will most likely be awful tomorrow.

But I am willing to take that chance,

because really?  Her awesomeness needs

to be recognized, one way or the other.

Tonight I walked in on this:

Ava trying to get Norah to be able to see into the View Master, lol.

 And I'm sure there is a lot more of this to come:

Ava pulling away the View Master after Norah unexpectedly crawled to it.

We have been hanging out with Nate & Max 

(both are of similar ages to A & N)

and Nate isn't very nice to his little brother.

I am really hoping we can use that as a 

"what not to do" example rather then just

a behavior to follow after.  

We have talks about how that isn't an appropriate 

way to act, but I know things are about 

to get much trickier once Norah realizes the 

extent of this new found mobility that 

she hasn't quite mastered.

But for now, we will just be happy with what

we have.

Norah is AMAZING and Ava is AWESOME!  : )
