CHRISTMAS!!

Well, you may have noticed it has taken me awhile to update the site. I cannot believe how time flies. As evident in the picture below, Ava made out pretty good this Christmas! Everyday it seems like she notices another toy for the first time. Ava is now crawling like a champ and pulling up on EVERYTHING! (this includes dishwashers, entertainment centers, pantry and refrigerator shelves, and stairs!) She loves to walk, but still needs some assistance. She is trying to talk and, call me crazy, but I hear some actual words. However I am listening very closely for what I want to hear! Below are some pics of Ava with her new toys!As I said Ava loves to walk and this wagon allows her to do so without us. We're not usually far behind..she can take off pretty quick!

This is her riding her lion. The enthused look is the result of a nap time fast approaching.

You can't see it very well in this picture, but this is her Laugh and Learn Kitchen. So far standing in the archway and dancing to the music is the best part!

Ava also got lots of books for Christmas and although we read a lot of books together she also likes to have some alone reading time!

This gift is little premature, but it was still a big hit. This is a raft for a pool that also has a bench to sit on inside. The picture above gives you an idea how large it is.

I do not let Ava run around naked in the middle of winter but it was finally blown up right before a bath so we played for a few minutes before hitting the tub. As you can see Ava really likes her new "clubhouse."

We are very thankful for a wonderful Christmas and look forward to many more. Keep checking the site....a special birthday is just around the corner!!
