End of summer fun!

Well, we are definitely trying to take advantage of the warm weather by getting out there and doing some fun activities. A trip to the zoo, Colorado Springs and Red Butte Gardens just to name a few!

Grandma Young and Ava at Red Butte.

Mommy and Ava.

The beautiful koi pond.

Grammy McPherson and Ava (sleeping under the blanket) in Old downtown Colorado Springs.

Daddy and the Giraffes at the Hogle Zoo.

Found some shade on a hot summer day.

Ava's first trip to the zoo! She pretty much slept the whole time... ;)

Testing

Well, I got a new phone, and I'm trying to figure out how to download the videos. I sort of figured it out, but I can't figure out how to rotate them! Anyway, turn your head to the side for now and enjoy a short video of Ava laughing!

Old school

We drove to California a couple of weeks ago, and wasn't able to take Ava's swing with us. Angi to the resuce! She happened to have a swing from when her oldest Sierra, was a baby (she's now 15!) No batteries required, it's the old fashioned wind up! And Ava loved it. It gave us 40 minutes of swinging each time, and worked perfectly for her naps. Thanks Angi! :)

4 months!

Actually, I'm a little behind on the 4 month update, but better late than never! Anyway, I can't believe how fast Ava is growing. Everyday, it seems like she is doing something new. She has been rolling over both ways like crazy, "talking" up a storm, smiling, laughing, playing with toys, grabbing everything in site (especially mommys hair!) and just making us smile every time we look at her! In fact, right now she is playing in her crib with her toys and doing this really funny growl that she just started, she sounds like a little baby lion, it's so cute! And now for the pictures of this last month.....

Our little princess :)

It's so hard to capture pictures of her on her tummy anymore, becuase she rolls over so fast. You can tell here that she's already on her way over!

Grandpa Bagley visits.

Mommy got sick, so Grandma Young came and bundled me all up and took me out to lunch with Aunt Lyla so Mommy could get some well needed rest!

I love my toys!

Uncle Aaron comes for a visit.

Daddy had to put me in the baby bjorn so Mommy could get ready for a BBQ.

I love my Daddy!
