First Wave




Ava's first official wave was yesterday - to Daddy!! Its a big awkward arm motion, but a wave none the less!

Both girls spent the late morning with Grandma Jill, who picks Em up from preschool on Thursdays, Great-Grandma Dona and Great-Grandad Keith, and Auntie Gay. They all had a great time and everyone should be ready for a nap. Everyone except Ava, who slept the entire time!!

I've been busy sewing shopping cart covers for my Etsy shop - they've been selling like hotcakes!

Patty Cake




Ava can officially Patty Cake! She hasn't moved much past the patty cake part but sometimes will do the pat it. She's signing More and Milk, but doesn't sign milk very often and its hard to know if she's clapping or signing more - you have to watch close for context.

She's repeating sounds and chaining them together. Brad swears she said Mama today while I was gone and that it wasn't just babbling.

She loves finger foods and is not always fond of food on a spoon - but we did feed her potato soup the other night and I couldn't feed her fast enough! She's still nursing well but is easily distracted and seems to prefer solid foods.


Not much else to report. Emma is growing like crazy and almost all of her shirts are too short, and many of her pants are getting that way too. She loves preschool, her teachers and all her friends there. She has her own sense of style & amazingly looks great no matter what she wears. We just need to work on brushing her hair! BTW-her hair was cut to shoulder length just a few weeks ago.
