KISS!

What do Monkeys say Ava?

Here's a fun video of Ava making a monkey noise.  She loved the huge gorillas!

Elephants go like this!

Ava's room is decorated in Elephants....and she LOVES them.  She makes the noise that Elephants make all the time.  Here's a video of her making the trumpet noise.  She was mesmerized by the Elephants.  So sweet. 

Day at the Zoo

We took Ava to the zoo yesterday.  She LOVED seeing all the animals....and the people watching. Ha.  She makes animal noises all the time when we are reading books...and today she saw them in real life.  Pretty amazing to watch her face.

Ava loved watching the Sea Lions play

Mama...did you see them swim?

I love Ice Cream

Things that make me smile

Ava is nearly 1 1/2 and she does new and funny things every day.
Here's a list of the things off the top of my head that she does...that makes me laugh;

• She says "Hi kitty" to our cat and does the sign language sign for cat...over and over.
• Her teachers say she loves to pass out kisses to all her friends at school (note to self, that's ok now when she's 1...but not 14).
• She loves to pucker up and give me a kiss, then run to Todd and give him a kiss and back to me...over and over.  We laugh and laugh.
• Every time she sees a car she signs car and says "Ca Ca Ca".
• And same goes for an airplane, every time she hears an airplane, she signs airplane and says "pane pane pane".  Please note, we live near an airport.
• She is getting so adventurous on the play ground.  The other day she climbed up the ladder and was mad when I wouldn't let her go down the HUGE slide.  She would have fallen right off the end sliding down so fast.  Mama and Ava rode down together....about 10 times.  She laughed and giggled.
• She sings along with the radio or tv all the time.  She seems to really like Katy Perry especially the "Firework" song.
• She LOVES to dance.  A good song comes on and she stops what she is doing and gets her groove on.
• She loves to act like she's talking on the phone.  She will hold most anything up to her ear and talk and talk...and laugh and laugh.  Then she sets down the phone and goes about playing.  I have been asking her "Did you say bye-bye?".  She smiles at me.  She's a riot.
• My dad taught her how to wink and she will wink at us at really appropriate times.  
• She has this baby doll that she loves.  She holds her baby and rocks her and makes coooo noise at her.  She also takes her sippy cup and puts it up to the baby's mouth and makes a "t-t-t-t" noise like the baby is drinking.

That's all I have time for right now.  But this girl is amazing.
