Hats and Shades!

Image
By
Silly girl Ava decided to pull out all of her summer hats and try them all on.  It's very possible that her noggin grew a bit, and some of the hats might be a bit small.  And it's also very possible that she got a bit frustrated when they wouldn't go on her head all the way!  But...it was still fun to watch.  Here are just two of her hats on display...




With the onset of Spring (YES!!!!), the sunglasses have come out of hiding.  They even were requested to come to the potty with her the other day.  Good thing the Easter Bunny stocked up on several new pairs...!

Ava's been entertaining us quite a bit lately...that kid loves to sing and dance!  We sing the Do-Re-Mi song A LOT, as well as Farmer in the Dell.  And a random "Buckle Down" song that Ava came up with one day...I asked her daycare provider if she knew about it, and we *think* it's a song from a safety show they watched (seatbelts, etc...)  As I was describing the song to Debi, Ava zoomed by us and started singing it for us.  Super cute!

We're going to sign her up for a tumbling class this summer, as she wants to do somersaults and hand stands with me all the time.  And she really wants to dance, so we'll need to look into that at some point.

Even bigger news...she FINALLY went potty on the toilet at our house!  She does it several times a day at daycare, but wasn't so interested here.  So, we spent some quality time together in the bathroom this week, and she went.  Hooray!  And we had success again this morning.  We've had some failures, but that's ok.  I think it bothered her more than it did me - on Friday, she kept talking about pooping on Cinderella (her big girl underwear, of course.)  And she seemed distraught, so maybe that'll help the cause!

Our future rock star...





We had a nice run around the house, too - we were both breathing hard after this one!


I love the sheer joy on her face here!


Ava's with Grandma Deb and Grandpa Whitey until tomorrow at lunch, so we're going to have some adult time tonight.  I'm looking forward to getting out and having fun!

We bought a new shelf for all of her toys, which inspired a room makeover for Ava.  When she comes home tomorrow, it's going to be different!  We'll finally get her walls decorated, and her furniture moved around.  It's been the same since she came home from the hospital, so change is needed.  Looking forward to a fresh look!

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

By
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

26 Hours in a Day

By
Just yesterday morning, I was thinking to myself that I could really use a few more hours each day.  We don't sleep a whole lot, both work long hours at our jobs, try to play with Ava as much as we can at night and on the weekends, and then we have to do all of the adult-stuff...paying bills, grocery shopping, cleaning, work on side jobs, house projects, etc.  If there were only 26 hours in a day, we could: *Sleep just an extra 30 minutes - we need it since the dogs have been waking us up each weekend day at 5:30am.  What could be SO urgent that they need to get us up then?!?  You'd think we only feed them once a week, or something. *Spend an extra hour with Ava...we could go to the park every night, take an extra long bath, read a few extra stories, and just enjoy the giggles and chattiness. *Take 30 minutes to talk to each other about how things are going.  With Scott leaving for work each day before 5am, and then all of the craziness that ensues when I get home at nigh
