Ava, Ava, Ava Ann

"Ava, Ava, Ava Ann" is what I find myself saying a lot these days. I'm just completely blown away by how quickly my baby has grown and just how fiesty, resourceful, smart, adorable, ornery, active, nurturing, joyful and beautiful she is. Of course, with a description like that you know that I wrestle all day with wanting to eat her up one moment, to tie her up the next!

A few highlights of living with Ava right now are:

Pigtails



Ice Cream

Shopping

Hide-n-Seek
(Especially when she steals Ian's hiding spots - see how happy he is)



Dress-up

Cow Juice!
(Yes, that's what she calls it!)

Arts and Crafts during nap time



Play time



and Endless Silly Faces.
