2011

Hello All!
Welcome to 2011!
So far...this has been a lazy year! Phil, Ava and I have taken it easy and mostly stayed at home! It has been super awesome! I love it!
Ava has really changed a lot over the last week. At least I think she has. She has really become a little toddler! She speaks, she says words, she repeats almost anything that is said to her. She has added about 15 words to her vocabulary this week, if not a little more.
Some of the words she now says are:
Luka
Nuno (for Juno)
Weee (for Billie)
Steeee (for Steve)
Me-mo (the name of her new doll, she named it all by herself)
cookie
snack
juice
sip
more
bite
ni-night
baba -for bottle
baby
wheee (having fun)
Ewwww (if something spilled or she wipes her nose on my sweater)
nice (for petting the kitty she will say nice then pet the kitty nicely)


She can throw a ball in a straight line and she can throw it to the person she is throwing the ball to.
She can play with cars and make car sounds.
She understands what we tell her. She doesn't always do what we tell her, but she understands.
She can tell us what she wants.
This week Phil was taking care of her, she walked up to him and says "Daddy, ni-night". She will come up and ask me for a drink or a snack. She can tell us what she wants.
We haven't really worked with potty training but this week I swear she said "poop" but I don't know if she understands exactly what that means yet.
We've had a pretty good week.
Also my Aunt Claire and Uncle Jamie came to visit! We had a good visit and a good dinner. Ava entertained us all! It was great!
I also wanted to note that this week Ava is 17 months and she is 17 lbs! LOL Thats a two for two! She is finally in almost all 12 month clothes. She still has a few 6 month and 9 month clothes but she has mostly 12 month clothes! I'm so proud! My baby is getting bigger!
She still has a little trouble
