Ethan is taking this big brother thing very seriously. He has done so good with Ava. Everyone keeps asking us if he has been jealous and the answer is NO! He calls Ava “my Ava”. He is on top of it when she lets out the littlest whimper. He loves to burp her and even helped Nana change a diaper!
Nana came home from the hospital with us for Ava’s first week. I’m not sure what we would have done without her, especially Ethan. He got some good Nana time in while Mommy was taking care of Ava. Here is a great picture of Nana and Ava when she was just 5 days old.
Today was Ava’s first bath at our home. She loved the water on her head. She wasn’t very happy when it came time for the sponge bath, though. I guess we made up for it when she hit that warm, snuggly towel. She went right to sleep. I can’t wait until she can get in the bath tub and splash around.
The newest member of our family, Ava Claire Dickerson, made her debut April 2 at 5:00 pm. Her very excited big brother, Ethan, ran into the waiting room and yelled, "Hey everybody! Ava Claire is here!" He was so happy and excited. He kept looking at her and saying, "She's beautiful. She loves me!" It was so precious.
