Spring Fever

My current favorite picture

This week Becca and Penny have both been sick. Luckily Ava has a superhero immune system (knock on wood). Penny has managed to find all of our Easter Candy and hide it in strange places (underneath a mat in the bathroom). She has been vomiting all week from her candy binge. Things are looking better since we have removed all the candy from her different hiding places. Ava went to the doctor this morning and has a clean bill of health. She is in the 50 percentile for height and is off the charts for weight. She now weighs 17 lbs 3 ounces. Big girl! Her thighs are so chunky now that she didn't even notice when she got one of her shots. She now has started a "pterodactyl" stage where she has a high pitched scream every 30 seconds when she is happy (which is the majority of the time). It is startling to house guests but it is advancing her speech development. I believe we have an extrovert on our hands :)

We had a wonderful Easter this year in Bowie, Maryland. The whole Bath Clan met for the annual Easter Egg hunt at Grandma's house. We were spoiled with delicious food and obtained wonderful memories chasing around the back yard egg hunting. We were very excited to see the Tidlers who were visiting from California. The night before Justin and Jessica treated us to a Barbeque feast at their house. We played a heated game of Catchphrase with the family and it was hilarious. Ava had a wonderful time and smiled and squealed for the majority of the weekend.
