Ava Talks

Over the past two weeks Ava has been talking a ton! She started cooing about a month ago but she has really discovered her voice recently and loves to make continuous noise. It is so cute! It makes my day everytime she does it.

Other updates, the physical therapist is going to start her weekly visits starting this week. That should be interesting to see how much Ava will tolerate.

This week we had some more very special visitors! Ava's Great Grandpa and Great Aunt Karen traveled all the way from New York (by train!) to meet her and visit some family. Gigi picked them up at the train stop here in Dallas so we got to see her again too! They "Ava-sitted" as I went up to my school on Thursday to say goodbye to my students since it was the last day of school. Before I left I promised them I would go up to visit and bring pictures of Ava. They were excited to see me and I was excited to see them. I think they were sad to find out that I wasn't coming back to Mohawk to teach. I am sure Ava and I will go to visit all our friends. I went back on Friday to tie up some loose ends and pack up a few things in my room. I brought Ava with me and she was such a good girl. She smiled and talked to all the ladies and I had many babysitters on hand so I could get some things done and not worry about her.

In the sunlight her hair looks blonde. How much does she look like her daddy in this picture?

This is where she sits and waits while I take my shower

We try and read a book to Ava before going to sleep. She actually looks at the pictures which is so stinkin cute!

Mikey took the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exam on Saturday so we baked him a cake to celebrate him being done. He put in so many hours of studying and worked so hard!

Mmmmm


Here are some cute videos of her talking.
