7 months

I can't believe Ava is already 7 months old. This is such a fun age, she is so happy and really starting to be aware of all that is around her. She has also discovered her tongue and how to stick it out at us! Here are some shots from this past weekend; including sitting in a high chair at Mimi's, and a visit to the grocery store where she got to try sitting in the cart like a big girl (I promised we paid for the almonds she was holding!). Many thanks to Auntie E who made her happy all weekend.

More Pool Time

Ava liked the water even more this past weekend; she was kicking and splashing all around. She even decided to try and pick up a little water basketball with the help from her mama! They make quite the team...if only Ava stopped trying to fit the basketball in her mouth.

Wind Up Toys!

Ava had fun playing with all of Grandpa's wind-up toys this past weekend. She had a hard time picking which 1 was her favorite since they all tasted so good to her, although I think the pink dinosaur is the true fave.

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.
