Country Critters

This year we decided to take Aves to Country Critters since she is so into horseys and train rides right now. She had such a great time petting the goats and sheeps, riding the hayride, pony and picking her own pumkin. The goats scared her at first and then she warmed up to them and didnt want to leave. She wasnt crazy about the bounce house which was a big surprise since she is such a wild little girl. Maybe because their were a lot of people she didnt know bouncing. We all had such a great time and cant wait to go back next year.

Princess

Couldnt pass up not posting my sweet princess. This was a crown that she got from a friends birthday party and I just loved that she wanted to wear it around the house. She truly is my princess!

19 Months

A little behind on posting the monthly pictures since she is actually 20 months now. OOPS!

So what were you up to.... You were a very active little girl. Sitting still is just not your style. You love running, climbing, jumping off the couching (which is a no no), and being outside. 

Just recently you can not stand for us to brush your teeth especially at night, it is a fight to get the brush in your mouth. but you sure love to chew on your toothbrush (see below) , which could only mean one thing..TEETH.

You are cutting 4 teeth right now. Before they broke through the gums you were a very fussy baby, but now you are back to your outgoing self. Still enjoying chewing on things.

Binky has become a friend again. I think it has alot to do with you cutting so many teeth at once. As long as you stay busy you dont think about it. Hopefully soon we can go back to only having it at nap and bedtime.

You have really started talking and saying more words instead of using your Chinese talk. I just love hearing you say new words. Some of the words you are saying: daddy, mama, nana, papaw, gaga, car, cookie, cake, binky, nose,teeth, squirrel, cat, cow,horsey,pig, duck, dog,  blue, purple, green, pink, potty, poopoo, cracker, dora, ball, shoes, more, please,tickle, I love you, Maddie, lovey, raisins, green beans, movie, banana, hi, bye bye, cow, turtle, kitten, mole, jeannie, phone, cheese, horsey, outside I know there are many more I'm forgetting.

Not a fan of the montly pictures!

Big girl swing

This about gave me a heart attack when I looked out the window and saw Austin pushing Aves. Really? Is my little girl big enough to be able to swing in a BIG GIRL SWING? She was loving it. I made sure Austin stayed close by (just not for the picture) and I made sure not to watch. I'm to afraid she will let go. Love this little "BIG" girl!

First day of Tumbling

Aves had her first day of tumbling on Wednesday. She loved her back leotard and pranced around the house before we left. I wasnt sure how she was going to do since she isnt use to being left without me in sight. Her teacher said she was clingy at first but as soon as some of the girls started doing things she jumped right in. She didnt want to leave the class when it was over. After class Aves ran up to me and I asked if she had fun and she shook her head with a big grin.  Cant wait to take her back next week.

Spaghetti anyone?

Aves ate spaghetti for the first time at 19 months, yes I said 19 months. She is just like me, a picky eater. I hoped she would take after her daddy. It has been so hard to find new things for her to eat, but  now we can add spaghetti with turkey meat to the list.

She knows how to eat it. ha!

Forget the bowl and fork...the hands are so much easier

Big girl hair cut

Aves got her first hair cut in a salon on Tuesday. Her first haircut was done at our house by a friends sister who cuts hair. I wasnt sure how Aves was going to react since she is not comfortable with people she doesnt know. She wasnt to scared about the chair but as soon as she put the cover up on Aves started to fight it. I calmed her with fruit snacks! Then came the cutting....the lips puckered and eyes got watery...but never a tear. Laura was really good with Aves and she warmed up real fast. Aves looks like a little girl again since we cut the long stringy length off.

Pretty pretty princess!

Shoes are Aves favorite thing!

Shoes, boy am I in trouble. As soon as we get up and get dressed we must try on at least 3-4 pairs of shoes. Its a fight in the morning for her to leave one pair on. She will also put my shoes and get so frustrated because they are too big which makes it hard for her to walk around. My little smart girl has come up with a soultion. Since she cant keep my shoes on, she will wear my socks as shoes/boots. She is just to much. Gotta love her imagination!

                                                           Cheese, look at me!

How old are you?

My little one year old is not afraid to let you know how old she is....just ask and she will show! Also, I have started counting when she doesnt listen to me the first time. As soon as I say one, my little smarty pants will say two, three. ha! I just laugh, so much for teaching her to pick up her toys.

My little water baby

Finally, I am able to upload videos, so here is one from her swim lessons back in June. I really have to watch her now because she will just take off in the water. She loves to swim and isnt scared to go under water. My little water baby!

How many purses does a girl need?

Hmmm which ones goes with this outfit?  She loves purses like she loves shoes. She can never just carry one around.,Her arm has got to be full of them. She is a girly girl, but also isnt scared to pick up a ball and throw it.

Rainboots are cool!

Blog overload...trying to play catch up!

This is Aves after getting her up from her nap. She insisted on putting her rainboots on. This girl loves shoes. We go anywhere and she has to try on shoes and let me tell ya, it is hard to get her out of them. I know where all my money will go towards....SHOES!!!!

Chinese anyone?

Here is a video of Aves about a month ago having an intense conversation with her nana over her milk. She loves to turn her milk upside down and let it drip out. I'm sure Aves was trying to put her Nana in her place. HA! I love when Aves is in her serious mood of talking....just wished I knew what she was saying. ENJOY

I love this little girl

I love my sweet Aves....oh how she is growing way to fast.

Bet you cant find me....

Hello...this is her all time favorite toy!

Cheese!

A few of our favorites right now

Here are just a few of Aves favorites right now....she is at such a fun but tiring age for her momma right now. I never know now what she will be into, i must watch her like a hawk.

Putting on mommys shoes

Wearing these in several different ways. Couldnt stand

them as a baby.

Mommys little swimmer!

I put Aves in swim lesson the end of June for 2 weeks and was very surprised by what she learned. Do I think she could save her life, no but if she were to fall in she defiantly wouldn't freak out and start swallowing water immediately. I was impressed how they make the young ones dive off the side of the pool. The instructor said b/c most kids at this age are jumping in the water reaching for something so they have them dive in and swim to get them use to the feeling. I would highly recommend putting your children in swim lessons at a young age so worth the money.

Will post video later...it's not letting me.


Let's go mommy!



Getting prepared to dive

and in she goes

Swimming and no she isnt holding on the her. She has her arms

out so Aves learns to reach for her. I'm one proud momma!

More swimming back and forth

Swimming with bubble sticks in hand.

Monkey see monkey do

So about 3 months ago we had to cover all door ways and open areas with plastic while we were getting our wood floors installed. There was a piece of blue tape that we forgot to get down and have been reminding Austin for the last 3 months yes I said 3 months to please get it down. He just assumed no one saw it because our ceilings are so high. That was until the Morgans came over. Blaine or should I refer to him as MONKEY decided he would shimmy his way up the brick to get it down. I think it was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Thanks so much Blaine! Now we must get that monkey back to the zoo!!! ha!
