Getting closer to 3

Getting closer to 3! A little over a month away, and our little girl won't be so little anymore. She is saying so much! Tonight on our walk (we try and walk nightly with our neighbors who have a little boy named "Jigga Jakob" aka Jakob) I heard the phrases: "Get out of my face" "I don't know" "Thanks for coming over. I had a good time". "I wanna kick the bird" Yup...those are the kinds of phrases we've delt with tonight. Normally she is a beautiful little girl with a fun imagination but tonight was a whole different story. We won't talk about tonight too much. Its one of those days that might not need to go in the record book. Ava has a great imagination. She covers the cat with a blanket and pretends the cat is a baby. She talks to her babies, plays mommy, and her favorite is still tea or coffee shop. Food that she will eat this week: Cantalope Popcorn Some multi-colored noodles with butter and salt Birthday cake pops (my bad....) We have a new "tradition" that will be broken tomorrow. Ava loves to get the birthday cake pops from starbucks. She gets it, we sing happy birthday, blow out the birthday cake pop and pretend its a candle. She really is excited for her birthday. And this year is the first time I haven't had anything planned 6 months ahead of time. How crazy. I still can't even come up with an idea for her birthday party. Over the weekend we had our first trip to Lake Tahoe- the beach area. Ava and Addison had fun playing in the sand and on the beach with their beach toys. Ava was not a fan of the water, Addison didn't seem to care for the water much either. It was a nice first trip. Both girls passed out in the car on the way home.
