Waving! multitasking- waving while she crawls

standing holding onto the recliner She is so proud of herself. She can "coast" and move along the edges of the furniture. Ava has been very vocal this week. She has been using more sounds, waving at everyone who walks by, and giggling. She really is becoming a little opionated person. Her teeth have been bothering her a lot lately. She now has 5 teeth and has 2 more coming in on her top gums.

Ava's favorite toy

Right now Ava's favorite toys are boxes. She loves to play with them especially if I put several into a large box. Now when we take Ava out she waves to everyone she makes eye contact with and calls them Dada (women included). Needless to say we have made many new acquaintances in the area. We are still going to stroller aerobics and Ava loves all the attention she gets from all the little boys (she is the only girl in the class). Lately we have been using the babies as weights and she just squeals with delight. We had a very low key weekend spent mostly relaxing. Greg and I spent the majority of it reading the "Twilight" series. We are obsessed to say the least and will probably not be surfacing to the real world again for about a week (when we finish the series).

She had a great time in her hole Then she decided she didn't like it because she couldn't crawl around in it

Then she started eating sand

Starting her young with soccer She decided to put her ball in the bucket

We have spent the majority of the past week at the beach. We have had wonderful weather and we had Jen Brown and Eric Valdez visiting. Ava loves playing in the sand and is starting to like the ocean better. She is like a little frog at the pool constantly kicking and squealing. Ava has three teeth on top that make her look like a baby shark. She is enjoying new types of food with her new chompers (especially crackers).
