One Year Stats

Weight: 19 lbs. 2 ounces (I promise I do feed her)

Height: 29 1/2 inches

Head: 48 cm

And here are the glorious things that she is doing these days

Pulls up on anything everything

Babblesand squeals ALL.THE.TIME (she gets that from me)

Says and waves bye bye to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING

Plays tug o'war with the dog and his toys

Still rolling all over the place, however now she must have at least one toy in her hand while doing so

Loves playing patty cake and peekaboo. All you have to do is say patty cake and she squeals while clapping her hands.

Words are mama, dada, dog, hi, bye, duck, ball, more (sounds more like muh), NO....that seems to be her favorite, night night (nigh nigh) and sh*t (I am NOT proud of this one and have since scratched that from my vocabulary permanently)

Does the cheer to C-A-T-S Cats, Cats, Cats (you have to be a UK fan to know this one)

If you cough, she fake coughs back at you

She pinches my neck and pulls my hair but ONLY when she's tired

I can't believe she is the same baby we brought home a year ago. I'm so not ready for her to grow up!

And I've been working on a video for her birthday party on Saturday, and I promise to upload it soon. I would have done it yesterday, but yesterday wasn't one of my best days. Will post about that later.

Flexibility and other weekend stuff

This post might be heavy on the picture side because nothing I tell you is going to make you want to jump out of your socks.

Saturday was day 2 of Water Babies, and this time Ava had more fun drinking the pool water than actually participating in the day's scheduled activities. But at least she didn't throw a complete temper tantrum like the 2 year old in our class did. Here's a picture...PLEASE excuse how awful I look...my dad promised he would only take pictures of Ava...thanks dad for showing the Internet how badly I need to diet. And for me not realizing how much cleavage I have!



After swimming I sent Ava to my mom and dad's so that I could spend the afternoon cleaning. Yep...on a Saturday. The day of the week I used to swear I would never use for cleaning. I digress, what can I say.

Sunday was pretty much more of the same...church....breakast...watch our basketball team get beat on national TV. The excitement can clearly be seen here on Ava's face.

And on a total side note...since I still can't figure out how to upload videos on here, I had to try to take a picture of Ava in the act of her new trick. She lays on the floor, puts her feet up straight, and then does some sort of leg spread eagle thing. I was a cheerleader for 12 years and I was never this flexible. This child amazes me every day by finding new and improved ways to crack me up.

Have a great week!
