We took Ava for a visit with her Great Grandparents. It was a visit loaded with fun!

Here she is with her Great Grandaddy.

Sitting in Grandaddy's chair.



















Ava got to eat off the same Mcdondald's plate and Mickey Mouse fork and spoon that Amanda and I used when we were little!


















Ava giving me a cranky face. Too bad she was teething and didn't eat a whole lot of her food. But, she loved pink salad - just like her Mom!

Ava and Great Grandma.

I bought Ava a little potty because she poops in the tub a lot. So, I thought we could start putting her on the toilet before she gets a bath. I guess she thought it was a seat for Elmo.

Ava has loved playing in the pantry for the last 4 months. And, surprisingly, this is the first true mess she has made. See the puddle of syrup on the floor? Yep. Very hard, messy and sticky to clean up. Take it from me.

Ava loves picking weedes a.k.a. dandelions from our yard. She even likes to blow them and goes "sshhh."

5-9-10 (Mother's Day)

I told Pete I didn't want anything for Mother's Day but for us to go to the zoo. So, to the zoo we went. Ava enjoyed looking at all the animals - especially the giraffes. It was so much fun that we got a zoo pass!
