Just a little trim~

Got a little trim to keep the hair out of her face and eyes...she moves a lot, so that considered, I think I did a decent job!

Nite-Nite Dolly

Make sure your sound is on...she's too cute too miss!

I am not sure exactly how/where she learned to put her dolly to bed...but it's so darn cute to watch. She has to make sure the dolly is completely covered, then she pats the dolly's back...of course in the video she steps on it's head - she doesn't do that all the time ;)

And she is very much a little chatter box these days. She will repeat ANYTHING you ask her to. She tries really hard to get lots of words out. I just love this stage that she's in... Watching her little personality blossom. She continues to be very independent and strong willed. And, she's the nosiest thing around {she gets a double dose of that from me and her daddy}.

November 8th - 80 degrees

We had a super cold October and weren't able to get out much. So far, the first 8 days of Novemeber have been gorgeous! We have taken full advantage of the fall weather we are finally having :)

We found a new park in the city that we LOVE! Ava can climb on the big slides, climb the ladders, run around to try to keep up with other kids, play peek-a-boo in the little castle, and cross the bridge. I don't even think she realized that the park had swings... She is asleep before we get home, that fresh air does her good!!

Playing in the leaves

We took Ava to the park...she loved playing in the leaves. She doesn't get to do that at our house {we have no trees}. She laughed and thought it was a lot of fun to throw the leaves around. Last year she tried to eat the leaves - has she grown out of that?? See for yourself...

Like Daddy, like Daughter!

Our little copy cat! {and it's starting to be more than just actions...}

Funny thing happened while making the bed~

Today when I made the bed, Ava was "helping" in her own special way! I turned around several times trying not to step on her but once, I turned around to this:



She is such a sweet girl...I love her so much!! And more every day!!?? How is that possible?!? :)

Peek a Boo to you...

Ava loves her tent. She will get in the tent with one of her "babies" and a book and she will read the book to the baby. She will get out, get the baby out, get another book, and get back in...read the book and repeat the whole process until all the books are out of the basket. She loves her books. She is very gentle with them, even the hidden flap books. She treasures them. I am so glad that she has found such pleasure in such a simple task!
