Ponies/Piggies

I don't know what to call them, but I was excited to find out that her hair is long enough to do it!

Hunk-A-Monk Jr.

Hunk-A-Monk was my nick-name as a young girl...possibly about Ava's age, I am guessing. I think she may have inherited the climbing gene, what do you think? I promise we are getting rid of the coffee table and I have ordered her a "climber" toy so she can safely climb as much as she wants!!

Toys

Ava discovered the "chuck it" ball throwing toy for Bode and has claimed it as her own. She walks around with it like it is her walking stick! I also brought up the glider we borrowed from Brad and Amanda and she thought it was a great climbing toy...babygirl Braman is going to have to watch out when Ava sees her in there! Finally, she can climb into and onto anything lately; the baskets we have around the house are no longer organized! She does it all on her own...our little climber!!!

Mother's Day

We went to grandma Judy's house for a Mother's Day visit, however we have no pictures of grandma! Ava had fun with her Uncle Jordan and eating in Daddy's antique high chair. It was nearly impossible to keep her in it, though! (Thank goodness for modern inventions with restraints!) She was SO tired by the end of the day.

Big girl seat

Ava hasn't quite outgrown her infant carrier, but she is nearly too tall for it so we got her new seats. Here she is checking out the one for Daddy's truck, giving a 1000 point inspection (or maybe just checking out the box!)

Playing with friends

Ava went to see Marissa and later that day had a fun dinner date with Trenton and Mason. Mason wasn't up for photos...but neither were Ava and T!!

Good morning HAIR!

Ava's hair is getting a bit out of control nowadays. I am just not sure what to do with it anymore! Here she is waking Daddy up after her nap!

Ava and her cats

G, sitting back and taking it all in!

Bode was outside and Ava had a snack...a rare occasion for the cats. She was a bit surprised as she dropped Bode his "treats" and he didn't show up! She also got a balloon from the grocery store and had fun teasing Nellie with it!

No pants?!

It was getting close to bedtime and Ava just had to play for a few more minutes, regardless if she was properly dressed! Here is my cute baby, getting in a few more trips up and down the stairs before bedtime!

Spring!

Ava just adores being outside and SOFTLY touching the pretty flowers. We have been really busy lately playing and exploring (which is why I haven't posted in a long time!) Now we just need for the weather to be warm consistently and she will be on cloud nine!
