Tuckered Out Tinkerbell

It was so funny, Ava and I were cuddling on the couch. She was eating an animal cracker and saying "what's that" over and over again. Literally 3 seconds after her last "what's that", she was fast asleep! I asked Nick to take a picture, and she started to smile right before he took it. I love these sweet moments!

Ava's 2!!!

Yes, I know, it's not a flattering picture. These are our silly faces....and Ava's cake!

Ava's been winking lately. She was winking at strangers in Best Buy this morning!

It's so hard to believe my little munchkin is 2 years old. She had an awesome time at her party yesterday. She had a little party, but somehow managed to get lots of presents! When it was time to blow out her candle, I told her to blow. Instead of blowing air, she said the word "blow", so mommy had to help!

OK, So This is Funny!!

Usually, Ava makes Daddy were her size 2T baseball cap, but he has recently graduated to wearing her sunglasses!! Nick has to wear them for like an hour! It's so funny, when she gives the glasses to Nick he cleans the lenses because he knows that he will be wearing them for a while. She has no interest in me wearing them, only Nick. I can't even look at him without cracking up!!

Silly Smiles!!

Ava has entered the phase of scrunchy smiles! When I ask her to smile or say cheese, this is what she does..

Fun Times at Abbey's House!!

I went to pick up Ava from Abbey's one afternoon and this is what I found. Ava feel fast asleep face down...with her binky in her mouth!! It was too funny!

Ava has so much fun at Abbey's house!!

Million dollar smile!
It was hot cocoa, but she thought she was drinking coffee like Mommy and Daddy!


Curtis Orchard was so much fun! It was way too HOT though.

Packed Up and Ready to Go!!

I told Ava that we were leaving soon to get her hair cut. I walked out of the bedroom to find her standing at the door with her blankies, binky, and her slippers on her feet. She was ready to go!

Ava's First Fuzz Cut!!

My baby had her first haircut today! Ava did so well in the chair. She walked right through the salon like she owned the place! The stylist had to reassure me that her bangs would grow back. They are a little short, but at least they will be out of her eyes.

Gym Night!!

Ava LoVeS Gym Night!! We couldn't wait for Gym Night to start next week in Rantoul, so we went to St. Joe's. Ava has so much fun. There are so many activities offered to entertain her. Her favorite was the slide and the tub full of rice. If anyone is interested in going, let me know and I can give you the details. We can't wait for this Friday!!

Mini Me :)

Daddy walked in on Little Miss playing with my mineral makeup. That powder was everywhere! Ava loves to put on blush, and apply/eat my chapstick. Yuck...
