Frozen Yogurt


It was so hot this past weekend that I thought it was the perfect time to introduce Ava to some sweet treats. We took her to Golden Spoon and we got her her own mini Vanilla frozen yogurt. I'm pretty sure she liked it, all 5 bites! Fortunately for Ava, mom had the rest before it melted. Something tells me ice cream is in our very near future...





New Hobbies!

This past weekend Ava explored her potential hobbies. The first one was reading, this is mom's favorite hobby. She got to read with Grandma and I am pretty sure they both enjoyed it. We'll see when she is able to start participating in book club with mom, I'm just not quite sure when "Good Night Moon" will make the list?


Then she gave playing cards a shot, this of course being dad's favorite hobby. Take a look at that poker face!?! I think the pacifier gives her away though.


In the end the card game wore her out, but I'm pretty sure there will be plenty more card games in the future!

Another sink shot


Ava's getting so big she can't fit into any of our sinks anymore. This may be the last time for a shot like this, good thing she made it worth it!

Time with the Family!




Ava was so lucky over the past few days to see some of her cousins. Here are some photos of her time with them, as well as a great shot of her with Uncle Night-Night. It's hard to tell whose happier?

Hanging Out!




Some of you might wonder what Ava does in her free time...well, she loves to lounge around with Coco. Coco barely notices Ava, but Ava adores Coco. She also catches up on her celebrity gossip with US Weekly. I know this will make her cousin Kerry very proud! Sometimes, she is just as happy sitting in her crib.

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.
