What a Little Helper!

Ava helping clean baby bottles and dirty cups. Ava had to wear a beanie just like Kaitlyn!


Of course Ava has to try out every thing that Kaitlyn uses. Here she is trying out the new vibrating chair. Yes, Ava is still wearing her pj top too. If it was up to Ava she would also be sleeping in her new shoes that look just like Grandma's!

Welcome Home Kaitlyn!

Ava giving Kaitlyn her first hugs...

Since bringing Kaitlyn home, the first thing Ava wants to do every morning is to hold Kaitlyn. She is going to be a fantastic big sister!!
