Happy

Halloween/Birthday

Party!



We all shoved off to Ava's playgroup pals' Birthday/Halloween Party today. +or-13 babies and their parents found some fun together, as well as some ensuing chaos--see below:



It's picture time!







Our little model taking a well earned sippy cup break. (I (Chris) like this pic because Laura is highly focused on helping.)

Here's Ava's playgroup pal Senora (aka The Dragonfly!).




Good times, good food, I'm pooped.

Good night!

It's hard to keep up with the posts. Sorry adoring Ava fans!


She's doing great!
She is walking on her own very well and is starting to get cuddly (finally)! She loves to collapse on a huge floor pillow and roll around on it. It's hilarious!
She loves to run away in a frenzy from you if you act like you are chasing her. hehe She gets this ridiculously cute laugh and gleam in her eye that speaks mischief!
Her hair is now long enough to put in a clip that will stay in for at least 30 minutes.
She is still hovering around 20 lbs, which is the same as 3 months ago...does that tell you anything about her activity level!? :P
She's still up very frequently during the night, which is starting to really tax on mama, but weaning time is approaching, so hopefully that will help with the issue...


Here's some lovely pics! The fam went to the pumpkin patch last weekend when Chris got back from the conference. Ava absolutely loves to pound on the pumpkins like a drum. :) The other pics are from the other day--investigating the leaves in the parking lot by our apartment. Enjoy!
