Show me those pearly whites!

Ava has 2 little teeth on the bottom completely in and 2 on the top that are working there way in. I got some cute pictures of her showing me her new additions to her mouth and I thought I'd share!

Sure does explain the sleepless nights.... ;)

Scrunchy face

Ava just started making this really funny scrunchy face lately. I'm not sure where she picked it up from, but it's super cute!

I love it, I just want to kiss her little puckered lips!!

Ava's first haircut

Ava has been needing a haircut for a little while now as it's been hanging in her eyes and was pretty uneven. I kept putting it off because, well really I just didn't want to admit that she was big enough for one yet! But, I finally gave in and let her Aunt Adrianne come down and trim it up and it turned out really cute!

Here's a before picture, I do have to say that she's still pretty darn cute! ;)

I just had to add this one of some serious bed head after a long nap on Grammy's lap!

She actually held pretty still for the trim. Aunt Adrianne let her play with the comb, which helped, but every time she had to take it away, she wasn't very happy! =O

The finished product!

A side shot.

So cute, our little baby girl is growing up!

Ava loves Vinny!

Ava has taken a big interest in Vinny lately (to his dismay of course!), and it's so funny to see her try to interact with him. He's so good to let her poke and pull at him, and he tries to lick her every chance he gets... She sure does love him!

A little playtime, supervised of course!

I'm sure one of these days when Ava gets bigger, she'll try to ride Vinny, we'll see...

She kinda looks like she's making a bulldog face here, so funny!!

Oh the places...

That Ava ends up now that she has officially learned to crawl! The latest one was inside the bottom of her exersaucer. She climbed in to retrieve a toy and once she figured out it wasn't as easy to get back out, she just settled in for a bit to play, she's so funny!

Notice she has on her neck brace for her torticollis, even that doesn't slow her down!

Busy little girl, has to see how everything works.

Her new thing lately is to try to pull up on everything, she sure keeps us busy!

She kinda got stuck here, trying to pull stuff out from behind the chair...needless to say, we've been busy babyproofing big time!

Ava's first Christmas

Ava's first Christmas was full of family, friends, toys, Christmas parties and lots of fun! I've been looking forward to her first Christmas for a while now and it was great! She got lots of fun things to play with thanks to Santa Claus, Grandparents, cousins, Mom and Dad, aunts and uncles and friends. And lots of time to spend with each and everyone as well! Here are some pictures of the festivities....

Such a big girl sitting in this fun little chair at a friends Christmas party.

Getting ready to open gifts, she loved playing in all the presents!

Playing with her toys with Daddy.

Reading a book.

She loved her new cookie jar!

Vinny enjoying his new toy! ;)

This was probably one of her favorite toys, it's a book that sings songs, so cute!

Rub a dub dub

Now that Ava is pretty much mobile, with her rolling and scooting all over the floor, it's easy for her to get into things. I had some stuff to do on the computer, so I pulled out her bath tub, filled it with some toys and got about 30 minutes of entertainment out of it! Not bad....and she loved it. =)
