On this day Gary Coleman aka Arnold from Diff'rent Strokes died. I named my teddy bear ARnold after him when I was six. Ava loves Arnold and carries him around by his ear. I love seeing her get as much fun out of him as I did!

We took Grandma out for lunch today. Ava loves her Great Grandma Ella!

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.

We bought Ava a water table so we could enjoy some outdoor time. Since she loves bath time so much, we thought she would really enjoy this - and she does!

This picture doesn't show much, but it shows Ava cuddling in my lap which is very rare these days. :-(

Ava likes to throw her toys down the stairs. This is just an example of the usual things. A rubber duck, a sippy cup, cat toy, purse, Elmo, flip-flop, puzzle piece, a paint swatch and another sippy cup.

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!

Ava getting yogurt all over her face. Fun clean-up for Mommy...

Ava loves wearing headbands as sunglasses. I think I have posted some pictures like this before. She is too funny.

Ava loves to wait by the window for Daddy to come home. And, she loves her cookie monster.
