My Musical Baby

Ava has been dancing since she was 7 months, but now she’s a singer and a dancer!  Her favorite songs to sing are La Bamba by I don’t know who – Richie Valli?  and Hello Goodbye by the Beatles.  I tried to capture it on video but no such luck.  We have a children’s CD that we listen to all day!  It’s about an hour long and after the last song plays Ava runs to the CD player and starts pushing the buttons to turn it back on.

 Here is a picture of Ava playing at an indoor playground

 

Here she is just hanging around the house.  She’s wearing the very first wool soaker I knitted!

 

And here’s a picture I took after we arrived home from a walk and she didn’t want to take her hat off.

5th Anniversary and Birthday Party

1 Reply

Saturday was our anniversary and we celebrated by taking advantage of the beautiful weather and going on a PPC flight.  I was a little nervous but Scott was a very considerate pilot and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time.  I took a bunch of pictures so I posted them in our gallery if you would like to take a look.  Also, I made a little comment for most of the pictures but they went away when I uploaded them.  Maybe I can get it to work next time.

On Sunday, we went to a birthday party for one of Ava’s friends.  Ava had a great time playing in their huge yard.  She picked her first dandelion and brought it to me!  It was so very cute.

Snow!

Yes, that’s right.  We woke this morning to snow in the valley.

Despite the cold weather, Ava and I had a pretty fun day.  We went walking in the mall with a group of moms and their babies.  Ava surprisingly stayed in her stroller for about 45 minutes.  Then I ended up carrying her and pushing the stroller while the other babies stayed happily in their strollers for another 1/2 hour or so (that’s okay though.. Ava is just ambitious, which is a wonderful trait to have!).  Then, to my surprise Nancy and Roger called asking if they could watch Ava so that I could go knitting.  Now how lucky am I?  People actually call and REQUEST to watch my baby (Grandma Edee does that too).  Ava had the best time.  She hardly acknowledged my existence when I returned to pick her up. 

I tried cloth diapers and both Ava and I love them.  I only have 2 problems, her clothes don’t fit as well and I am still trying to figure out a nighttime solution.  So far she has not wet through her pajamas and onto the bed, but her PJ’s are a bit damp in the morning and that bothers me.  I ordered some stuff online for more absorbancy so we will see if that helps.

                              

Scott has been great about making the switch.  He hasn’t complained at all!
