Eating = Mess

Just the other day Ava started trying to help us when we feed her.  We spoon food into her mouth, she spits out a little, and then she uses her hand to push it back in her mouth.  Then she finger paints with it on her clothes, her hair, her chair and anything else she can touch.  Her face, body, hair and hands get so messy.  Barkley the dog sure likes this new development, he makes sure he is on hand to give Ava a hand cleaning up.  (Pun intended). 

Our sweet pea!

More pictures of Ava!  Can you believe she is almost 6 months old?


No more pictures mama!



Ava loves her jumper!

Must put my mouth on everything! :)

Again making the curled nose
face because of her runny nose!

I love music!

Nose!

Ava seems to have picked up a cold over the past couple days.  (Blah!) So with her runny nose she keeps curling her nose and breathing in and out fast (sucking the boogers in and out)  Some think it's really cute...but really bums me out because she has a runny nose. 

Family trip to Steamboat

We went to Steamboat with my family over Labor Day weekend. We had a blast. Stayed in a gorgeous 4 bedroom 4 bath condo at Trappeur's Crossing! We enjoyed some fishing (Grandma Andrews watched Ava) and we also enjoyed some swimming! Our girl is quite the little fish!




Here is also a picture of Ava eating rice with Grandma! Yum!

Ava at Lindsey and Aaron's wedding reception

Todd's cousin Bobbi sent me this picture of Ava yesterday. So cute!
