AVA GRADUATES & MORE!

Ava and momma have graduated from their New Moms Group. We're all very proud of these two adorables!

Here, you can see Ava giving her commencement speech (with much ethos!).

Unfortunately, her colleagues did not feel the same way...

Afterwards, Dad got home from work and decided to reward Ava with a ticklefest, as seen below:

After that, we all went out to eat and Momma and Dadda fed Ava too--our Sweet Potato Queen!

We then went to Target to pickup some supplies for our trip to MN/ND, and Ava had her first in-cart-ride experience.

We all then went home sleepy, but for Ava, who knows how long that will last.

To be continued...

The zoo!

Ava and I were invited to join our friends Darci and Ireland (14 months) at the zoo today! We had a full day of looking at animals and sitting on a blanket/touching grass during lunch-time, and it was all free thanks to Draci for having a membership where she invites a friend for free! (Kids are free under 3 years). **Hint hint, mama and Ava would love their own unlimited membership to the zoo** :)

Ava found the fish in the aquarium!


She spots the penguins...and mama spots the camera.

Naptime!


Ava really likes the feeling of grass


And she likes looking at all the big kids. Don't worry, you'll get there soon enough Ava!


"The zoo is FUN!"

Much to catch up on!

Ava was dedicated at our church, Ethnos, on Mother's Day. It was a fabulous day and daddy and Ava made mama feel very special all day. She received earrings in Ava's birthstone and a card.


Ava is getting very good at moving around. In this pic it looks like she's gonna take off! She's not quite ready to crawl yet, but in a few more months...look out!


The fam spends a lot of time at the park now that it's nice out. In this pic, Ava found the waterfountains (that bigger kids play in) and thought it looked fun!


We bought Ava her first sippy cups. She's not ready to drink from them yet (still working on the solids), but she was excited to try em out. She also has two bottom teeth (picture of them to come).


Finally, Ava's a cutie! The pic may be blurry, but it captures the excitement and adventures Ava finds everyday!

Unbelievable!

Ava: 1 day old


Ava: 5 Months, 2 weeks old

WE REAL COOL, AVA KEEPS COOL

Spring is running towards summer, and Ava and the fam are loving it. Yet, Dad had to think quick yesterday to keep his daughter cool. How did he do it? Check out the pic with something on her head.

Also, note the cute pic of Ava in shades with her mother.

Enjoy!
