ava eats

Ava is very pleased with herself for having mastered the art of eating with a utensil. It's a skill she rarely displays, and it's finally captured on film

a few of ava's favorite things

babies, tv, and dad!

We just returned from Thanksgiving in North Carolina, where Ava aquired lots of new toys. Even better, she came home with this adorable getup.

Ava seems to be missing her cousins-- she has been clingy since we've been home. 

 

All-around creative genius Kimmy H. has created these lovely aprons. Lucky for us, she is also selling them. Visit http://www.kimchiandolives.blogspot.com/ to see more aprons and to purchase.

i guess we need to work on animal sounds....
