My girls

Today I noticed Ava looked a little jaundice so I put her in the sunshine in her birthday suit and Leslie (also in her bday suit) laid down beside her and talked to her
while they tanned.





Also Leslie had a Halloween party Sunday and she was a LSU cheerleader for the second time...Her Grandpa will be so proud. :) Looks like this year Halloween will be hot. In Louisiana its always a mystery weather or not we will need a turtle neck and leggings or a tank top for our costumes. lol

Ava Rene' Shoemaker


She's finally here and as sweet as can be!
Ava came on 10-20-10 at 10:25am. 7lbs 10oz and 19 inches long.

I must say it was a pretty quick birth and I feel very lucky..only about 2 hours from the first painful contraction till she came.
Daddy is really great with her she likes for him to walk around with her and talk to her and play the guitar. She is a pretty good baby. We are still trying to establish a consistent meal time. The first night at the hospital she ate every 2 1/2 hours and went back to sleep. Both of our Dr.'s said we were doing so well we could go home after only had been at the hospital for 24 hours. Well last night it was not the case. I swear that girl ate every other hour. She has been better today so I am hoping tonight wont be as bad. Although I have managed to catch up on lost sleep with taking naps with her during the day. Here are some sweet pictures.
Leslie is a great big sister, she loves to talk to her and help change diapers.

Her Brother is her protector and asks about her every day he comes home from school.
He always wants to hold her and kiss her head.
