3 months!

It has been a few weeks since I've last posted.

Our life has been full of fun things lately! On October 22 my Grandmother and Uncle came to town for my mom's birthday and to spend a little time with Ava! It was great to see them both!

During the week Phil and I worked really hard to get Ava's room painted and ready for the company we were going to have. We picked out some really great colors for Ava's room and while Phil was away on a dirt bike ride with his friend I decided to go ahead and paint on the walls in Ava's room. And boy was it pink! It was super pink!

On October 30th we had a Pampered Chef Party. Lot of people showed up and Ava had three little friends to play with. Ava's cousin Juno came over to play, and Ava's friend Alison came over to play. My wonderful husband and his friend and my dad watched the babies while us girls got to view the Pampered Chef demonstration. It was really fun and wonderful of Phil to watch the kiddos!

My friend Monica came from San Francisco came to visit for the weekend. Phil's friend Nick also came down for the weekend. We had fun together at the Pampered Chef Party on Friday night. Then on Saturday we all slept in and went to breakfast. Then in the afternoon we thought it would be fitting to go up to Virginia City on Halloween. Our first stop was the Cemetery. We had a blast. We saw a couple getting married. It was interesting. Then we walked through the town. It was a lot of fun.

We had a lot of fun.

Ava has been wonderful! My parents watch her everyday while Phil and I are away at work. They do an amazing job with her. Several weeks ago Ava began rolling over. From there she has taken off to do amazing things! She found her feet and can now successfully pull off her socks. She can pull her legs under her while she is on her stomach getting ready for the crawling stage (which I hope won't happen for a few months!. She smiles, and coos and over the weekend Monica and I swore that we heard Ava say "hi" but maybe it was just wishful thinking. She likes her hands and now jams them in her mouth and makes loud sucking and smacking noises. She loves to fly through the air and she loves being held above our heads. She squeals with delight. She can sit for a second with out assistance. She can grab on to her stuffed monkey and she can grab blankets and pull them over her head. She pulls her nuk nuk (pacifier) out of her mouth.
