Barnes and Noble

Before Ava I used to go there all the time!!  I was addicted to reading. Now with her being so mobile it's hard to get any reading done. Anywho the Barnes and Noble by my parent's house redid the kid section. There is so much more to do now, so when the weather is horrible it's the perfect place to go. Just make sure you aren't tired because you have to run after her the whole time lol
Reading on stage



This little boy kept calling her pretty lol. It was so cute

Knocked out as soon as we got home. 

She had so much fun that we had to bring daddy along the next time she went!

leggos!

sitting down after she fell and scraped her knee for the first time ever!

on the go again!


Getting too big too fast!

Ava is growing up at the speed of light. I find it so weird that when I talk to her now, she know's exactly what I'm talking about. I can say "go get your shoes" and she will go get them then sit on my lap so I can put them on. Or I can say "go find a ball" and she will not come back till she has one. Of course when I say things like "let me change your diaper" she runs away as fast as possible...but she still understands me haha. Now that she's getting older she has more opinions of her own.  She's starting to get picky when it comes to her food. She will always eat fish,rice, cheese, ravioli and green beans. Other than that, most of her food will end up on the floor. She will always eat her fruit though. Another thing that has been happening is tantrums. God forbid I take a pen away from her...she falls out on the floor and screams like she's being murdered. She also has quite the attitude. Might have to start time outs soon. Good thing is now, when she's freaking out, I can calm her down by distracting her. Maybe she will just be a VERY determined person one day...politician maybe?? I'm thinking future president LOL.

How she falls asleep mostly every night

One of the days she NEEDED to wear her scarf. When it fell off she cried..but I wasn't allowed to put it on her myself

It's hard to say no to eyes like that

She refused to take off this headband lol

superstar

This is how her hair looked this morning. She slept HARD

We moved!!

We finally got out of our tiny little apartment! Now we are in a huge one. It's around 1500 square feet so it's a big improvement. Now Ava has all the room in the world to run around. Of course we are running around more too, because because of the size it's harder to keep an eye on her. It's been so great living so close to a park. Pete gets to run and I get to take Ava out to let her burn some energy. Of course we haven't been there in awhile because there have been coyote sightings. This would happen when we move out here lol. I will upload pictures of the place when we are done putting everything together.
