Just Having Fun!

Here are just some pictures that we took over the weekend of Ava doing some of her favorite things! Sitting on her chair (mine from Great-Grandpa!) She will carry this chair all over the house to sit on it. It's perfect for her! :)

Pushing her stroller with either Anna, Quentin or Buster or all of them sometimes!

Reading books! She is obsessed with reading books lately. She is constantly bringing us books to read to her but she doesn't want to sit still long enough for us to read them to her. She brings it to us, sits down on our lap for 1 page and then runs to get a new book. Silly Girl!

Kissing Shadow...she's usually hitting or sitting on Shadow so this is kind of unusual. Shadow has started to be afraid of Ava! I thought it would be the other way around! :)

Ava sitting in her Pottery Barn chair! Her other favorite place to sit!

Getting books WHILE holding onto her purse. This was my purse from when I was little and she loves it!

Another picture with her purse!

Ava with all of her shopping bags! She will find bags and put them on her stroller or carrying them all like she's shopping. She's definitely a girly girl!

Ava in her lovely apron. She got this for her birthday from her friend Gavin and it finally fits. She wore it all over the house yesterday and didn't want to take it off! (Oh, and she still has her purse!)

Shadow being sad because she isn't getting enough attention. Poor girl! She'll just have to get over that!!! :)

Ava Playing

Here are two videos that we took over the weekend. Ava is obsessed with taking care of her dolls. She will take them all over the house! She has even started to take care of them like we take care of her. If you watch closely in the video, you will see her patting Anna on the back. It's so cute! We tried to get a video of her tickling Anna or Daddy but she didn't want to perform! It's so cute! She's obsessed with tickling everyone and everything too! We'll keep trying!

Sea World

Our wonderful cousin Abby got us annual passes to Sea World! Thanks Abby! We went for the first time last Saturday and had a great time seeing Shamu! Today we went with some friends to see Elmo and Abby Caddabby. They are only there from Memorial Day through Labor Day and for special occasions/holidays. Ava loves Sesame Street so we had to take advantage of seeing Elmo for free! She loved the show but was terrified when she actually got to meet Elmo. After we saw Elmo, we went to the splash park and let the kids play before heading home. It was a great day!

Ava's Big Surprise!

Good Morning Everyone!

Ava has a very big announcement! She's going to be a big sister! Yes, we are expecting our second baby. I am about 8 1/2 weeks and the baby is due on April 13th, 2010. We've had an ultrasound already and saw the little peanut and the heartbeat. The baby is healthy and mommy has been struggling with morning sickness for the past week but, we are all very excited. Ava and the baby will be about 23 months apart and we can't wait! Ava plays mommy with all of her dolls and we know she will be great with a little baby in the house.

We can't wait for all of you to meet our little baby in April of 2010!

Love,
Curt, Tracie, and Ava
