Someone once asked us if Ava is into condiments. At the time, I thought, weird and nope, she doesn't like ANY. Well, that is not the case any more. She has recently discovered the liking for ranch dressing. We eat it with our pizza and naturally with her curious mind, she asked if she could try it one time. And she liked it. She liked it so much that there really isn't a need for pizza, right? Right off the finger or sipping it from the cup is perfectly fine for her.
She also discovered she likes mayo. We eat it with our sweet potato fries. (It's really good, so don't knock it until you try it). The other night we made BLAT's (Bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato sandwiches). We had the mayo on the counter and she kept pointing to it saying she wanted ranch. After I realized she wanted the mayo, I gave her some. And, what do you ask did she want it for? Well, she wanted to dip her bacon in it. Yup! And here are the pictures to prove it.
This morning she was taking Bobo for a walk on some string that she found in my craft room. Her imagination and the things that she does with Bobo, crack.me.up!
She is currently really into stickers. They are everywhere. She likes to put them on paper first. Then she likes to take them off one piece of paper and put on another and then she likes to put them all over me. We have been giving her stickers when she sleeps through the night. It is sorta working. She is sleeping better, but she doesn't sleep through the night consistently. We are lucky to get one day a week.
Speaking of sleep. She hasn't been sleeping through the night, so I have been doing a couple of things to work on it. First, we took away things, like a favorite whimzy toy, her nap time paci and TV. Then I started staying in her room for 5 minutes after we read books at night. That really helped with the 30-45 minute night time battle that we used to go through. She would call for us and come up with every excuse in the book so she didn't have to go to bed. I am hungry, my knee hurts, I have to go poo-poo and the list goes on. It would be a battle. We seem to have that under wraps now, but she was still waking 1-4 times a night. She is doing better though.
She loves to dance. We do dance party every morning while I work out. She runs in circles and does the occasional booty dance.
She has also started making baby noises to get things because that is what Noah does. I hope she doesn't start biting, because Noah has been doing that a little lately.
She's a dandy and we love her. She will be 3 soon:( I tell her every day to stop growing and she looks at me like I am a crazy lady!
