I went to Target first thing this morning and found this stool in the $1 bin area. Since Ava loves little chairs to sit on, I figured she would love it and I know I will regret it later and she is getting smart enough to pick it up and put it somewhere to climb up onto something!!
Anyway, I brought it home and put it in the family room and she was so excited to sit on it. It is the cheap things that they love the best.Here she is sitting on it...
I don't really buy her a lot of "toys". I leave that to her gramme Baker. Every week she comes down, she always has something new. In fact, this weekend I am going to have to go through her toys and pull out some to bin up since all her bins are full.
She too is getting ready for the Tour de France to start on Saturday. See her with her LIVESTRONG band. I can't wait for it to start. I am excited to see how Lance Armstrong does as he is an old guy now. I have been following him on Twitter to see his comments and seems like he should do well, but there are a lot of good bicyclist out there this year, young ones at that.
I am getting ready for our trip to LA in the end of July. I know, it is still a month away, but I feel like there is so much to do to get ready for it. We are going to Mike's sister, Nancy's wedding. I bought Ava a dress online last week and am praying it will fit. The sizing was weird. For her chest and waist size, it suggested a small or 6 mos size. That just can't be. So i ordered the 18 month size and I am afraid it is going to be too big. I guess I will just get it taken in. It is brown with Champagne dots and a champage bow and flower around the waist. It is really cute. Now, I just have to find something. Here is the link to her dress. Not sure it will work, but I tried!!
Yesterday I asked Ava for a kiss and she stopped what she was doing and came over and gave me a kiss. It was so sweet. I have been waiting for this day. She doesn't always do it. Usually she will just put her lips together and make a kiss sound, but not come over and actually give you a kiss. She will kiss her stuffed animals, just not people as much yet. These are the moments that make moments like yesterday morning worth it.
What happened yesterday morning, well, Ava woke up at 3:15 am and cried until about 5am. It was horrible. Nothing would settle her except for me rubbing her head and I can't do that for 30-45 mins until she goes back to sleep becuase she will then need it to sleep. Not sure why she woke. My mom and I think maybe she had a nightmare. Otherwise, I would think she would go back to sleep. As I have previously posted, her sleep has not been so great. Yesterday also, she only took an hour and a half nap so I tried to put her down for an afternoon nap and after crying for 30 mins, she finally fell asleep for 30 mins. I am ready to give up. I just want her to figure out her sleep before the baby comes, because the last thing I need is for the baby to be up and then finally go down and then Ava gets up. Talk about lack of sleep. I am going to need all the help I can get for as long as I can get it once the 2nd baby comes. So anyone interested in helping, we will have a single bed waiting for you. You can stay as long as you would like and help entertain Ava and cook and clean! Any takers??
The other day, Mike had Ava outside on the side of our house and he was watering his herbs. Next thing I know, this is what i see....
He had taken off her clothes and let her play in the water and dirt or mud. Off to the bath we went!
