Ava rocks!

Fun things about our girl;

• Ava is talking up a storm.  She amazes us with new words and phrases every day.  We joke that any day now she will just start talking in full sentences.
• One of her favorite games is to look at pictures of the family and point out people by name.  She's so smart. 
• She loves to play with our cat.  She says, "Hi Sawwwwsssshhhe."  Her name is Sasha...but I love the way Ava says her name so much.
• Ava loves to dance.  She dances all the time.  She dances to songs on the radio/tv or whenever she hears music.  She shakes her little bootie and swings her arms.  She really has good rhythm and dances to the beat of the song. 
• She loves to dance and sing "ring around the poseys" all the time.  She says, "ashies, ashies, ashies."  Which means she wants us to get down on the floor next to her and sing the song while she twirls in a circle....for hours.  And she won't let you sit on the couch or stand next to her and sing.  You must get down on the floor right next to her.  Ha.  She's a girl with a strong sense of what she wants.
• The other day I was driving and she was in the back seat.  I thought she was sleeping.  I was singing along with a song on the radio.  At the end of the song, I hear her clapping in the back seat and she said, "yay mama!"  Made my heart soar.  Glad she likes my singing voice.  Ha.
• She loves to play tea party.  She sets up the tea cups and plates then pours tea and says, "cheers!"
• Ava got a Dancing Elmo from her aunts and uncles for Christmas.  Elmo has a drum set, microphone and tambourine.  The other day she turned on Elmo and he was dancing and she grabbed the microphone and was singing into it.  It was so sweet.  I think dance classes are in her near future.
• Her teachers at school say that Ava often does puppet shows for her friends in class.  So sweet.  I love that she likes to perform.
• Whenever she sees a Broncos logo she says, "touchdown" and put her arms up in the air.  She will see a logo on a can in the grocery store...the smallest logo ever and she says, "touchdown".  When she says it I have to look around to find where she saw a logo.  Amazing.

We are very blessed to have Ava in our lives.  She's a peach.
