Day 219

Zach and I went to a party tonight so Aunt Stephanie came over to stay with Ava. They played Wii and had a good time - more like Steph played and Ava chewed on the gummy cover! Ava loves the bowling on Wii and thinks it's fun when she gets to "help" Mom bowl! Thanks again Steph!

Day 218

We never gave Ava a bath in our kitchen sink and Zach said every baby should get to do it once, so we did it tonight. She had a blast and managed to get water everywhere! I love watching her have that much fun!

Day 217

I took this sweet picture of Ava tonight (yes, I know she's wearing her 4th of July dress, but it's silly to wear it only one time!)....

Not even 20 minutes later, the sky looked like this...

This was Round 1 .. and Round 2 is getting underway! Lots of thunder and lightning tonight!

Day 216

Ava stood at the window for a long time tonight watching Daddy mow the lawn. Every time he'd come close and wave at her, she got sooo excited!!

Day 215

After 10 and a half months, Ava's hair finally seems to be coming in and it has a bit of a reddish color to it!

Day 214

This was taken shortly before the bedtime meltdown. We are slowly trying to enforce a stricter bedtime again in preparation for the upcoming school year. Ava's definitely not a fan!

Day 213

Ava went to her first friend birthday party today!
