I haven't posted in over a week!!
I have been watching my friend's daughter during the week and it is hard to find time to blog! :)
What is up with all the rain?! I went through Ava's closet today to pack up her clothes that don't fit anymore. She has SOOO many summer dresses and it's too cold for her to wear them!!
I have been enjoying being home SO much! I have definitely been busy, but I am loving every minute of it! Ava has gotten pretty used to seeing me every morning. A few weeks ago she woke up at 4 in the morning and laid there for about 10 minutes just calling me. "Momma....Moooommmmmma". It was so cute!! She finally fell back asleep (thank goodness), but I have to admit it was hard to not go in there and squeeze her!
She is still pretty clingy to me when we are at home. A lot of the time she wont let me out of her sight! It makes me feel loved, but MAN! Hehe.
The other day Raf, Ava and I were all hanging out in her room. She walked out and closed the door leaving Raf and I in there. Then she opened the door and said "Good moooorning"!! Oh my gosh we laughed so hard. It was hilarious. She said it in the exact tone that I use every morning when I walk into her room. Now every time she opens a door she says good morning. She says it so clear too! She says every letter!
I love all of Ava's talking. She can pretty much tell us anything/everything now. If we can't figure out what she is trying to say, she will grab your hand and say "Go walk" and she will take you and show you what she is talking about.
We started potty training a few weeks ago. Ava went potty once last week! I felt so bad because when she did it I got really excited and said "Oh my gosh"!!! and it scared her! She couldn't figure out why Mommy freaked out. It was so sad! She hasn't gone since, but asks to sit on the potty all the time. The last few days we have slowed down a bit. I think she needs a little more time before she is ready. Not to mention.... I go through twice as many diapers! Every time I put her on the potty I put a new diaper on her... then 20 minutes later she wants to sit on the potty again.
Here are a few pics from the last week or so.

Ava and Aiden on a ride in the wagon!
Ava can reach the water dispenser! I have cleaned up so many puddles on the floor! She is getting really good at drinking out of a cup with no lid or straw though!
Good mooooorning!!
This is the coolest bath toy ever!!! It has a little pump that continuously pumps the bath water through the spout. That way there is running water the whole bath time! Ava loves it and hardly pays her other bath toys any attention now! It came with little cups that have different spouts and drains to play with!
First juice box!! Haha, not that it is a major milestone or anything... I just thought the picture was cute. :) But coincidentally.... it really is her first juice box.
