We have a baby...in a bar.

Well, I didn't do too hot on the pics this week, so we'll have to rely on a few from Lisa! These are from last Sunday when we went on a walk and played in a park in Woodbury. Dylan and Ava both look so happy!


Ava has taken to using her knees as a form of transportation - she'll pop up on them, and hop around, like she's a bunny! It's fine when it's outside on the grass, or inside on the carpet, but outside on the concrete? OUCH!

We also visited Grandma Deb in the hospital on Wednesday night. She had a knee replacement, so we brought her some flowers and a cranky baby to help the healing process. :) Grandma Deb is now out of the hospital, and doing well!

The 2nd tooth (bottom right if you're looking at Ava) made an appearance this week! And then it disappeared and no one else could find it. I thought I might have been crazy, but then it popped up again yesterday. Ava's not too keen about letting us put our fingers in her mouth and poking around.

Thursday night, Scott had to take Ava into the doctor for a diaper rash that just wasn't getting any better. The doc prescribed an ointment that looks like it's starting to finally clear things up. At least it's not as bright red as it had been! Anyway, the nice thing about those un-scheduled visits is that we get a height/weight on her. She's now 29" long, and 21.5 lbs. Our little porker gained 3.5 lbs since her visit just 2 months ago! At least we know she's a good eater!

Yesterday afternoon and early evening, we went to the Rack N Roll silent auction at Jersey's bar in IGH. We felt a little weird bringing Ava into the bar, but there were a ton of other kids and babies there, so we got over it pretty quickly. Ava had her first taco experience there, and she loved it! She also loved crawling around on the very dirty floor. Ugh. To make matters worse, during one of her intense fussy spells (you know, the kind where everyone in the room turns and looks at you?) I took her outside to play for a bit. She stood up in the parking lot, and then promptly fell over, leaving dirt, gravel, and general junk all over her pink pants. And toes. And hands.

Let's just say the bath was badly needed last night!

If the weather cooperates today, we're going to spend lots of time outside, and just hang around the house. I'm looking forward to a "plan-free" day. Whew!

Dylan said he and Ava can go out for tacos because he likes them too! Don't you just LOVE how dirty they seem to be getting these days?!? I'm learning to just let it go, but I still cringe on the inside.

I can't believe she's going to be a year old already this month! She's growing up so fast! Time for number 2?

Bricks and Birthdays

Last Sunday, G and I headed off to the Minneapolis Brick Convention to see everything LEGOs! Ever since I bought the tickets, months ago, he couldn't wait to check it out. I was so happy that it was held at a location not too far from home, because it was snowing as we were driving there. Overall, it was a pretty neat experience. There were some amazing brick creations, and of course there was an opportunity to buy LEGO pieces! G has been on a 1980's spaceman kick, so he ended up getting Benny, the blue spaceman (from The LEGO movie), as well as Jenny, the white space(wo)man, as well. Once he had those two new pieces in hand, he was able to focus more on all of the cool builds they had displayed in the convention. It was pretty crowded, so after we were done, I was quite happy to get out of the building into a quiet car. More and more, I'm hitting my limit of "peopling" at an earlier point during each crowded event I go to. But, I did it for G, and he loved it! (I

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se
