It ell you Ava is obsessed with the tub and taking baths. Obsessed. She goes in there all day long and peers into the tub. Today she went in there and was just sitting so cute on her little stool. Don't ask about the lack of pants and a sock. Long story that involves juice and a sippy cup.

Mom got Ava an Easter basket with goodies also and I caught Ava playing with the basket yesterday. I guess she thought it was a hat!

Ava spilled juice all down her shirt and pants. So, I just stripped her down, put her in the high chair and fed her some lunch. Good thing because she enjoyed wiping pnut butter and jelly all in her hair an on her face.

Ava really enjoys snack time on the living room floor. She especially likes dumping out the cheerios.

Ava discovered the laundry basket again and loves it when I pull her around the house in it.

Bapcia sent Ava an easter good box. Inside were lots of treasures - chocolate bunnies, stuffed animals and Easter eggs. Ava especially loved this duck that quacks out tunes.

Ava enjoys eating apples like a big girl now! No more little baby chunks for her!

Ah, behold the power of Elmo!

Ava also loves to have tea parties. When she had lunch today, she didn't want to let go of her tea cup.

Here are two really great shots I captured while Mom and Ava were reading.

Again, Ava loves to get into the fridge. She pulls everything out and even climbs up into the fridge. Good thing she hasn't figured out how to open the fridge yet.

I was trying to capture a picture of Ava after she woke up from her nap because she is usually so smiley. Can you see her socks in the bottom? She loves taking her socks off. It's a constant battle with me. Now she can take her shoes off too.

My little "helper" likes to help me re-organize the fridge.

3-15-10

Snack time! Every day after Ava wakes up from her nap we have a little picnic snack on the living room. Lately she really likes cramming a handful of cheerios in her mouth. So cute!

3-14-10

The weather was so nice today that Ava and I went outside for a snack and to read some books. Ava is obsessed with books and is constantly picking books up, handing to me, saying "uh" for me to read to her.

My little superstar!

Day 2 with the "boon." I tell you, she is obsessed!

3-12-10

So Pete got Ava some balloons on the way home from work tonight since she is so obsessed with them. She goes around saying "boon" every time she sees them in the grocery store. She wouldn't let go of it - not even to eat!

3-11-10

Ava has been on a food strike this week while she is working on a tooth coming in. So, I thought I would give her some ketchup to dip her turkey burger in. She liked the ketchup alright - she ate it all bu itself!

Here is a pic taken during one of my favorite times of day - snack time. We sit on the living room floor drinking juice and eating cheerios. Ava now loves to feed me cheerios and she likes it when I feed them back to her. Melts my heart!
Here is a picture of Gavin, Ava and Riley taken at playgroup today. It is tough to get a good picture of 3 squirmy toddlers.

Ava has been very difficult to feed lately. I am wondering if she is working on a new tooth? Today we tried eggs w/ feta (her usual favorite), kiwi (another favorite), cheerios and cereal bar. She finally ate the cereal bar. So picky!

For some reason I just love these bath time pics. Ava just gets so excited about bath time. She gets antsy and starts hopping from one leg to the other and trying to climb into the tub.

3-6-10

We went over to Dave, Tiff's and Lilys tonight. Ava loved seeing her BFF Lily. Here she is lounging on the bench. She looks like an old man!
The girls waiting for the guys to get back from the grocery store.

This was funny - Lily got down on the ground and started crawling around with Ava.

Best buds getting ready for bed in their jammies. So cute!

Both Ava and Sophie were waiting for Daddy to come home. Pete has been in Duluth training all week and Ava really missed him!

My little firewoman. She found this hat at Gavin's house when we were there for playdate. So cute!

3-2-10

This is the smiling face I love to see when Ava wakes up from her nap. She always wakes up so happy.

3-1-10

Well, I didn't take a picture today. We had a rough day and Ava is now in bed when I realized I didn't take a picture. So, I took a picture of one of Ava's favorite toys - her House. And, I have no idea how George got crammed into the door. Funny!

Ava wonders why the heck Sophie is in her bathtub. And, yes, she is still wearing her Christmas pj's.

Here are four Generations of Pitkanen women. Celebrating Grandma's 90th bday.

I have two cute pictures to share today. The first is my little superstar.

Sophie loves jumping into the car whenever we are in the driveway. Ava always gets a kick out of seeing Sophie in there.

2-25-10

Ava made a trip with me to my floral supplier today. She loved wheeling around with me in the cooler picking out flowers for the bridal show. One day I will really put her to work!

2-24-10

Ava found a new way to play with the drawers. Luckily, this way makes a lot less mess.

Somebody lost their pants again. She is so sneaky!
