Toby came to visit for a week
Grandma got this dress for Ava in the Amish Country
Ava thinks Toby is a horse!
Doesn't everyone wear their swimmies on their head?!
Ava's first pony ride, this girl had no fear at all yet she is petrified on the carousel! 
She loves all animals
We're headed out of town for vacation at the beach! Thankfully Ava is much better in the car now since we have a long ride ahead of us. We got a new car today which has a DVD player, this of course helps too. Ava was so confused when I picked her up today in a different car with a new car seat, her old one made me crazy. It had so much padding it would push her off the seat and she could never sleep in it.
We have been busy as ever. The pictures above are from a local little zoo, she loved it. Toby, Grandma and Grandpa's dog, came to visit and she gets sad when he leaves. They shared several meals. I would hear Ava open the snack drawer and say "look woof woof, yum..." She also goes around saying "no no no woof woof" because it steals her food right out of her hands. We have been going to a music class called "musical munchkins" and it has been a lot of fun. She joined right in without hesitation. It amazes me how quickly she catches onto things. We also went to a tumbling class and her favorite was the balance beam. She also liked falling off onto the mats and would do it on purpose.
Ava is talking up a storm all of a sudden, she has about 70 words down and makes up short sentences. Sometimes it is so funny to hear her. I picked her up from the babysitter one day and she said "momma home juice snack lala" which translates to take me home and give me juice, popcorn and put Sesame Street on. She calls all cups "babas" so she will tell me "momma, juice in the baba". Too cute! She is so feisty, she says no and she is not kidding! 2 is so coming and it is not going to be pretty! She will stand her ground though and I see this as a good thing.
We have some fun stuff coming up even after vacation--a trip to Sesame Place and floor seats to the Wiggles! I cannot believe how much money we spent to go and see these people but to watch Ava makes it worth it!

I love the pictures! Have fun on vacation! We have a DVD player in our van- but I haven't used it yet- even on long trips- because I know that once we start with TV in the car, we will have to continue!
Be safe!
Hugs!

Have a wonderful vacation. Wiggles and Elmo are coming to us also. Not sure if we are going. Wiggles is this week and I am in the middle of month end. It would be to much on me. But Elmo is over the weekend in August. I am really considering it. Let me know how Ava does. Love the pics. KA rides on our dog also.
