Happy Half Birthday!

Wow!  Ava is 6 months old today and to celebrate she is getting carrots for the first time (not carrot cake;))!!! Things she loves to do at 6 months are roll around all over the place, have play time on the floor, read and chew on books, bath time, jumping in her new jumper, scream and babble, and trying to reach for the cats.  She is becoming very adventurous! Here are some pics and a short video of her playing with her turtle.

A visit from Janet and Steve

Great Auntie J and Uncle Steve came by for a visit.  We went on a nice walk and Uncle Steve took Ava 4 wheelin in the stroller.

Happy Valentine's Day!

For Ava's first Valentine's Day she wore her new onesie that she got from Ms. Diane.  Here she is displaying her very first art project that she did at daycare! See her hand prints?

Jump, jump, jump!

Ava's new jumper is very entertaining for her and for us.  It was the first thing we have bought that needed assembly.  Steve was very excited about that : )

Playtime!

She is 5.5 months old now and it is so much fun watching her grow and become more independent.  Here are some random pics. of her playing and entertaining herself. Sometimes she even tires herself out!

Uncle Jakie comes for a visit!

Uncle Jake and Tuyen came over to visit the little niecee dude!  They played alot and he read her a story complete with lots of funny animal noises.  I WISH I would have gotten that on video: )  She loved it!

Ava's 2nd camping trip

This time we ventured off to Mt. Madonna with the Noteware's.  Ava is only 5 months old, and this is her 2nd camping trip.  She had fun watching Daddy and Phil fly helicopters while hangin' out with her

buddy Ryan, Amber, and Mom.

Ava starts daycare

At 4.5 months, mommy had to go back to work and Ava was shipped off to daycare.  She spends her days with Ms. Diane and lots of new friends.  She seems very happy there and always gives me a HUGE smile when I pick her up : )
