Time for an update!

Ava is officially 3! And boy how she has blossomed in the past several weeks. Talking, singing, sing-talking, repeating everything (for example books, that we read the night before, she will recite on the way to school). Favorite book this week: Duckling Gets a Cookie - if you haven't read it, its hilarious! Favorite show on TV: Gumball (if you haven't seen it, please don't look it up). Favorite activity: Reading Favorite food: This week its hard to say, we had a sick episode which put us back in the saddle a tad bit. But she tried sushi yesterday, she liked the cucumber salad and edamame. Favorite drink: Water What impressed me the most this week: We looked through photo albums Ava was able to point out "Gingka" (my dad), "Me-Ma" (my mom), and "Nanna" (my Grandmother) without me having to point to the picture that they were in. Ava still likes to sort. Oh my gosh! She lines up rocks, she lines up colors, shapes, shoes. One morning I went in her room she changed her diaper by herself and lined up all 5 dirty diaper in a row. Ava had her 3 year check up on July 30. 24.2 lbs 35.2 inches She is healthy and is ALMOST on the chart for weight! She gained 1 whole pound in the last 3 months! Wahoo! Developing normally. Ava got strep throat (for the third time this year) on Thursday. She stayed home with us on Friday and was well enough to start her swim class on Saturday. Those are all the updates for now. I'm sure I'll write another blog with funny Ava quotes later on.
