On the move...


Since Ava has become mobile, it has been much harder to find the time to update her blog. She is very fast and despite roadblocks throughout the house to slow her down, she has us running. She can now stand up on her own unassisted and transfers from table to couch, etc. She spends many hours walking around and around the coffee table, all the while pulling everything off of it that she can reach.


She LOVES playtime when Daddy gets home and thinks he is the funniest thing in the world. I have GOT to get her on tape so you can all hear her giggle. It is angelic!

Her Elmo chair is one of her favorite toys. She doesn't sit in it so much as she uses it to practice acrobatics. She climbs over it into an unplanned somersault, stands behind it and bounces it up and down and hides behind it when she plays with her Daddy. She loves to stand behind it and then throw both arms up into the air and stand by herself.
Time to start babyproofing!!

OK, sometimes she does sit in it!

They look like they have just been busted doing something wrong!
Ava will stop EVERYTHING when she hears music. Here she is stopping to watch a commercial that is playing disco music. As soon as it is over, she resumes playing. Rock-on little one!!
Look Mom, no hands!!


She thinks Ziggy is another one of her stuffed toys that is just really interactive. She is SO rough with him. Thank goodness he is declawed, as he has swatted her a couple of times (well-deserved). Ziggy is a trooper, though, and plays along most of the time.

She is trying to figure out how to make it MEOW, but those buttons on his face don't work!
Ah, my little activist! Just give her time. She is going to be one strong woman! It isn't easy being blue in a red state, just ask her Mom, Granmothers, Great-Grandmothers, Cousins, Aunts....well, you get it. She has plenty of GREAT "blue" female role models!!
