Busy Monday

We had a very busy day today. I wanted to catch up on laundry, Ava wanted to play and LAUGH all day. Guess which we did more of?? :)

Got my toes! I always get Ava's toes when we do diaper changes and in the bath tub. Ava discovered that she too can put her toes in her mouth...

Ava loves to climb. Her newest trick is to pull her doll stroller up to the coffee table and pretend it's a chair. She sits on it and pats/bangs on the coffee table and giggles. She has started testing her boundaries by standing up in the stroller. It is a BIG no-no but I had to get a quick picture before I made her get down...

Ta-Da!

Ava has several new accomplishments:
*she can say "hi", "momma", "dadda", and "hello"
*she signs Milk, More, and Eat consistently and appropriately
*she babbles a ton {finally}
*she says "e-i-e-i-o"
*she can walk on her tip toes
*she points to her nose, mouth, ears, and tummy when asked
*she blows kisses, waves night night; bye-bye; & hi
*she can almost get her shoes on...she'll have it figured out soon!!

Goofing off!!

At the grocery store you get stickers on the things that don't go in bags...Ava went with her Daddy to the grocery store - I guess Ava didn't fit in a bag :)

Newest Milestones

Here is a little video of Ava's most recent milestones. She is really growing and changing so fast. Enjoy!

A Day in the Life

What a blog worthy weekend!!

We had a full day of fun. We got all the flowers planted out front and then even got some hydrangeas planted in the backyard...fingers crossed they grow well!! Ava even helped Daddy clean up the rocks that were hiding beneath the grass in the backyard...what a sweet girl-

Ava got a new sprinkler/pool. We were going to wait until a sunny day to give it a try BUT after watching the way she loved the water hose today...we couldn't resist {besides she was already soaked from head to toe}.

she signed that she wanted "more" water...and of course cried when we put it away!



Fun times after playing outside. Ava loves to be silly...why she picked the socks, I have NO idea! Oh well, she entertains herself and us. See, she even tries to share:)
