Finally! An Ava Update!

At the ballpark waiting for the Montgomery Biscuits game to start (which was subsequently cancelled :(). Ava is making a statement - she really wants Jane to win the bid for the school board (not really, she just likes to wave around the free fan paddle they were handing out at the front gate!).

Beach Day!!!

This little girl was born two weeks before Ava - not only is she walking, but she is huge compared to Ava. We thought we would take a picture to give a representation of how small Ava is - I believe Ava is standing on her tip toes!

Another beach day

Pool day at Misty's house. She loved the boogie board.

This is what we wake up to on the weekends when Ava gets to sleep in.

Bath time!

New Pics of Ava

We met our photographer on Saturday to take some 9 month (really 10 month now!) photos of Ava in Watercolor. It was a beautiful day. She shared one photo with us. We hope she will share more!

Weekend Dress

Although Dad did homework almost all weekend, we found a few moments to go outside and take some pictures in Ava's new dress (compliments of Great Nanny and Bahpa!). And if anyone ever dared to think our life only consisted of smiling daisies, lollipops, a unicorns - you are sadly mistaken. See below. There was a lot of crying going on this weekend...

Avocados?!?

A few weeks back, Ava tried some avocado for the first time! She loved them. However, I realized I have a love hate relationship with avocados. I love love love guac, but hate hate hate scrubbing avocado stains out of baby clothes!

More Easter Pics!

I know I am slacking on the Blog! I have been trying to keep up, but, ugh! Too many things to get done! Here are some more Easter pics I didn't get around to posting. Enjoy!

Easter Egg Hunt

So the big Easter egg hunt was today. As Ava is not really mobile yet, Her and Dad found a good spot with a clump of eggs to sit and gather. There were tons of people! Including sneaky kids that like to steal eggs! We had a lot of fun!

Ava collected 7 eggs this year!

Creepy Easter bunny. Ava could care less.

There were LOTS of people!

If you are familiar with the 'If You Give A Mouse A Cookie Book' this is the mouse. Ava REALLY did not like this mouse. I thought it would be fun for her to get a picture with the mouse. As soon as he approached her, she started wailing! This picture was taken at the exact moment of approach! If you can't tell, the poor mouse has his hand over his mouth.

This picture was taken at the end of the day. I guess Ava figured she would no longer need her socks. By the time we had walked home, she had her sock off and it was slobbery.
