Good Morning!

We have been up bright and early these days. Ava has been sleeping great, but no longer sleeps until 7, and is up usually between 5:45-6- which makes a tired mommy! She has been very busy lately, talking up a storm. This morning she burped and then said "scuse me!" Was so funny! She has such a little personality and is definately begininning to express her feelings- especially feelings of frustration- usually identified by a piercing high scream. She has started to test the limits, " No Ava, for the 100th time, you can't try to push the lamp off the table!" She continues to love music and is becoming a great little singer and knows the words to many songs. She has discovered who she is, and will point at herself very proudly and say "Ava."

yummmm



We may be in trouble. We broke down and let Ava try chocolate and now we have a chocoholic.....

My Best Friend

The Polar Express




Yesterday we all went to the "Polar Express." Ava got to ride a train, eat cookies, sing songs, and go to the "North Pole." She LOVED the train ride. Santa on the other hand....not so much. She seems to love Santa in books, ornaments, or dolls....but the real thing is another story. She was a trooper though and managed to get past Santa without absolutely freaking out..... and at the end she got a bell. That made it all better :)

The Tree






Last weekend we went to pick out our Christmas tree. Once we put it up, we were a little worried as Ava tried to grab each ornament off the tree. She was in heaven, pointing at the tree saying "balls, balls!" Her favorite ornament is Santa...she has even wanted to kiss it, and a few times before bed she has to go and say "bye" to Santa. She has gotten much better with the tree and the novelty has worn off..... and the ornaments remain on the tree:)
