Nordstrom Sale!

Ava got to go to her first Nordstrom sale last weekend. She seemed to love cruising around the mall, and she got many compliments on her cute little headband. However, the highlight of the trip for Ava was when we spent some time at the McDonald's playground...she was so excited to look at all the other little kids (the highlight for mom was the new pair of shoes and sweater she purchased at the sale)!!

Auntie Lyndsey's and Uncle JJ's wedding

Ava made a brief appearance at the wedding to pose for some pictures. We're still awaiting some more family shots, but this one is just for Auntie Lyndsey-all the fish faces are just for her. As you can tell Ava is still trying to perfect hers. Lyndsey looked absolutely stunning on this day and we are all very excited to welcome JJ to the family!

Cuddle Time With Cousin Haley

This picture just had to make the blog-how cute are they?!

Swim Time!

Ava took her first dip in the pool on July 3rd. She was a little unsure at first, but then seemed to enjoy kicking and splashing. I thought the best part was her cute little ruffle suit with matching hat-too cute! The after picture in her robe isn't bad either.

Sippy Cup time

While she still can't quite drink out of it, I could not resist letting her try. How cute was it to find a cup with her name on it too.

Tummy Time

Ava is much better on her tummy now. Ever since she has figured out how to roll over (about 2 months ago) she doesn't stay on it for too long. But I snapped this shot real quick to prove she doesn't mind tummy time anymore.

Peas Please

I was getting bored with rice cereal, and I am pretty sure Ava was too, so we decided to spice things up a bit last week and introduce her to some new baby food. Even though I know it is a total myth that if you introduce a baby to vegetables first they will have a preference for them when they are older, I could not resist trying. She needs all the help she can get in the taste department since her mother HATES veggies. So I was cruel and gave her peas first! I find peas detestable, but you can see from the video that she enjoyed them!
