Social Butterfly!

This past week, Ava has been out and about in ATX and also had some wonderful visitors at home! First, I took  Ava with me last week as I babysat one of my friends son, AJ. Ava and AJ had a great time together.  AJ was so excited to have a friend over that day that he kept bringing toys for Ava to play with.  Too bad she's too young  to play with blocks and toy cars.  :=) Here's a pic of the precious two!

The next day,  Ava and I had lunch with our sweet friend, Julia, at Fresh Choice. You gotta pick those kid friendly places when you have a little one. :) 

IMG_4638 After lunch, we  all took a stroll down in the Arboretum shopping area and checked out all the pretty stores.  Ava  ended up falling asleep in her stroller while mommy and Julia shopped. 

The following night, we had a fun birthday party to attend at a Mexican restaurant called Dario's.  My uncle Tony, Ava's great uncle,  turned the big 50! Here's a pic of him and Ava below.

Ava was so excited to stay up past her bedtime! She danced and enjoyed all the attention from her cousins and aunts, and of course, her grandma.  Here she is with Grandma on the left picture and with Aunt Ofelia on the right picture.

Daddy had a blast with his princess.  He had his first dance with Ava  that night!

Boy, did Ava have a fun night out with the parents! She hit the sack as soon as we were home as she was worn out from all the fun and excitement. 

That Friday, my best friend's sister, Sejena, came over to get her makeup done for her 10 year high school reunion.  Boy, do I feel old! Anyway, Sejena was so excited to see Ava for the first time ! Here's a sweet pic of them together.

Daddy's Girl

This past Sunday was Father's Day and Ava had a wonderful time with Dad and I, especially Dad!  We were ready to go to church that morning, but first Ava had a very important card that she was so excited to give to Daddy.  Check out her craft masterpiece, courtesy of her babysitter and relative, Jesse.  What a cute idea!

IMG_4402 By the way, those little grapes on her first Father's Day card were from her own little fingers.

Charlie wanted to try carrying Ava in his sling as Mommy does so here's a funny pic of them two together.

After church, we all went to Central Market for some lunch that day and Ava behaved so well that we were able to enjoy a nice lunch without any fussiness from the princess, who normally does not like to be in her stroller for very long. Another cute pic with Daddy.

Afterwards, Dad wanted some R&R at home enjoying his favorite pastime,Golf! So Ava and I just chilled out,too and relaxed.  That evening, we walked to the neighborhood park and took Ava out on the swing for the first time.  Below are a few pics with Mommy and Daddy.

After the park, it was time for bed. :) Boy, did she sleep good that night after all that playtime with us that day.

Ava's a Flirt fan!









Okay, so this is my first blog EVER! And of course, this one is all about my princess, Ava Rose. :) I've titled it Ava's adventures because life is an adventure with this little one even though she is only 3 months old. Wow, how time flies!! So with the encouragement of one of my friends, who is also a new mommy, I decided to start a blog to share Ava's adventures with all our friends and family, especially our out of town ones, since she is growing so fast!



So yesterday, Ava and I went to this fabulous boutique near UT campus called Flirt! Since I'm back to work from maternity leave, I was invited back to their Get Made event as their resident makeup artist. Check out http://www.flirtinaustin.com/ to check out more details about their monthly event and their fabulous store. Anyways, the owners, Leah and Melissa, wanted to take pictures of me in their clothes for their "Get Made" Flyer so I brought Ava with me to give her thumbs up on the outfit I was to wear. :=) Since mommy was getting all dolled up in cute clothes, Ava needed to be fabulous as well so I dressed her in her "Princess Ava" outfit for the first time. Sooo cute! Take a look ...I've also included a few pics of the divas from Flirt with Ava! And of course, another pic with mommy.








After I took my photos in their cute clothes, Ava and I headed to my dear friend, Micky's house. Micky cohosted a fabulous baby shower for me that was a Hollywood Diva theme. I have included a few pics from the shower decor because she put so much love and talent into it. And by the way, Micky made the chocolates from scratch, and the moon and stars hanging from the chandeliers were frosted sugar cookies! Yummy! She's like a Mexican Martha Stewart. So Micky had not seen Ava since she was 3 weeks old so Ava and I went to visit her at home. Here's a pic of them two below.After our visit there, Ava was one tired chica so we headed home so she could get a good nap in. Well, that's it for our first post. I hope you have enjoyed reading this. I will be posting new adventures quite often so be on the lookout!



Smooches,



Adrienne and Princess Ava



p.s. I haven't forgotten about daddy, especially since Father's Day is coming up so I'll keep you posted on Ava's day with Daddy.
