Happy Belated Mother's Day!

To all those moms and grandmas out there... :) Here are some pics of our little Ava on mother's day. We had a low key day, just what the dr. ordered. Chris and Ava gave me a card and made me a chocolate mocha cheesecake. It was delicious!






And here's a pic that is so typical Ava. She loves to meander outside on the patio. She'd live outside if we let her. :)


Ava's been picking up words like crazy lately. She can say ma, da, dog, kitty, ball, ballon, water, juice, bath, book, and some other words I'm missing (and all the words are variations of the real deal of course.) :)

She can sign a few words too, please, thank you (which is so cute--a thank you in ASL plus a blown kiss attached for kicks), more, want (she actually signs milk for the word more--how in the world did that happen?!), and all done.

She can also count "two...two...two...two..." It's hilarious. And point to her nose, ears, eyes, mouth, and belly on command. She also likes to go around and point to everyone else's nose, including the newborn baby we just visited this past weekend.

Just a day in the life of Ava. Adding millions of neuron connections a day! Living with those crazy parents who actually comment about neurons being born... hehe
