straight up cream cheese for Ava, the bread is optional
I love this smile
my girl is obsessed with shoes, she loves all the play heels and I have to say she walks quite well in them

the 80's chicks!
Ava loved these girls. The little one was so cute and told her mother that Ava looked like them

every once in a while she will throw me a bone and cooperate!

all of the sailor pix are from a professional photo shoot on the beach. Ava was so good and the photographers pix came great, I cannot wait to get them!





We had a great vacation! Ava was so good except for the car ride down...I won't even go into that nightmare. Even the DVD player wasn't helping! She still is not fond of the ocean itself and thinks the sand is "snow". She would walk with me near the water and then when we got to close she would say "bye momma" and run to the blanket...she doesn't like the beach, shopping or amusement park rides...so not like her momma!

Ava continues to be very social which is great. If there are kids anywhere we go she runs off to play with them. It is so cute. At one point I turned around at the beach to see Ava in the middle of a circle of much older girls and teens and she was shaking her little booty! Then we were in the supermarket and she was dancing and the next thing you know another customer joined in, a Grandma type. It was sweet. She has loved music classes so much that I may need to give up my Saturday mornings once I go back to work so she can continue.

Ava went to her first movie--Mamma Mia--she was too funny. She was great through the whole thing. She danced in the aisle to every song and when they were over she would say "more". Now we listen to the soundtrack and she dances all around.We are off to Sesame Place for a couple of days. I think she will love it and her buddy Ben is coming too which will make it even better. Then the weekend after is the Wiggles. Before you know it I'll be going back to school.Ava continues to talk up a storm. My new favorite lines are A)When I say "where did the squirrel go?" and she goes "up in the tree" with the cutest little voice and the all time best one B)When I say "I love you" she says "loves you"! Nothing better than that...
