Hey Ya'll

Here is Ava all dressed up to go to a birthday party...her friend, Maddie turned "1"!!

Today was a big day for Ava...she started daycare. She seemed to do well {I was great}. She didn't sleep well or eat much for them but that will change, she'll have to learn that her teachers will meet her needs. She played on the carpet with the other children and that's our goal...to have her around children her age. She was content when I went to pick her up but started screaming and crying when she saw me... I guess she was afraid I would leave her again. She was quite clingy at home most of the afternoon and starving!!! She ate 4 chicken nuggets, 2 jars of baby food, some taco meat, and of course - cheerios. I guess having fun and worrying if Mom is coming back to get you must be hard work :)

Memphis with Nana

I love to read...Nana can you read too?






Trying to see exactly how that foot fits in the bus...

We had a great visit with Nana in Memphis. We met for a couple days. Ava really had a great time playing in the hotel. We shopped a lot and got some new clothes...thanks PawPaw!! We missed you!

I love to swing

WHEE!!

Easter Basket

Ava opening her Easter basket {and everyone else's} at Grandma and Grandpa's house! She loves her little duck from Uncle Mark and Aunt Nancy...

Egg Hunt

Ava went on an Easter Egg "hunt" after church. She liked the plastic eggs she found in the house. She kept bringing those to us to take apart and put back together. We went outside to take a family picture...she was having nothing to do with that...she wanted to get down and play. We laid a couple eggs on the ground and she thought it was really fun. Then she wanted to walk on the landscape stones like a balance beam. We are so blessed!

Take Me out to the Ballgame

We had GREAT seats...we were right on the field. And we were on t.v., well, okay, nobody would recognize us but we knew where we were sitting and what we were wearing so we found ourselves very easily!! It helped that I had a HOT pink Cardinal's shirt on in the sea of red!

Ava was more interested in playing than watching...she has recently learned how to go down the stairs so she tried to climb down the little step between our feet and the row ahead of us...

aww!

Couldn't resist this post. She was lovin on her bear and "gettin it's nose"... Besides she has the cutest little ponytail today :) And I broke down and trimmed her bangs, now maybe she looks a little less shaggy!
