Ava the Character

By now, I'm sure you've seen or heard or read that Ava is quite the character. She has really stepped up her game in the past couple of weeks. Imagination running wild, crazy stories spewing from her tiny little mouth. No idea where she comes up with her material. Part of me wants to know what her brain is thinking about, another part of me is scared to death and wants to run the other way, afraid of being lost in some translucent world of magical fairies, flowers, mermaids and zombies and an assortment of animal friends.

 We've had a fun sort of month. Ok. So the first two weeks were absolutely crazy with my dad just out of the hospital and off on another trip with his girlfriends and finding out Phil's dad is in the hospital (we spent a greater portion or our two weeks at the hospital). The best thing that came from that event was that well...1) Ava and I got to meet Phil's Grandmother and 2) Phil's dad woke up!

 But since that fine event we've had an interesting month.
Ava stepped up her game with her imagination and also her expression and usage of words.

Here are some pictures from this month.

The Ava Adventure continues....

Ava has always been a spunky child. Full of life, love and laughter. Her jokes make her dad and I laugh for days. Ava has a crazy imagination. The stories she tells us would make for great children's books. Her favorite movies as of right now are Rapunzel and Little Mermaid. Favorite food- noodles with butter, pizza, mac and cheese out of the blue box, salad, gold fish and angry bird graham crackers. Some of her favorite activities are: hiking, playing in the dirt, dressing up, pretend play, walking and playing at the park. She is 29 lbs (FINALLY)!!! She makes friends wherever she goes. I love that about her but it also scares me. She still loves to read.
