Walking

Ava is so close to walking she started taking steps about 2 weeks ago and now is walking across the room it's such a bitter sweet thing so fun to watch but so sad she is getting so big!!

The ZOO

Scott's work had an awesome family day at the Zoo, there was face painting, LOTS of shows and food. We had so much fun spending the day at the Zoo Allie and Zachery joined us! Please notice that at the beginning of the day Ava had a cute headband but towards the end of the day it was gone I can not keep a headband on her and it drives me NUTS!!

Ava

I haven't done a post about Ava in awhile because things slowed down a tiny bit with her GROWING well that didn't last long I can not believe how much she has learned from 7 months to 9 months.

- Waves hi and bye

-Claps at everything, every time someone says yay she giggles and claps

-She finally has her 2 bottom teeth

- Blows kisses

- Says uh-oh, hi, mama, and dada

-points at me and says no no no when she is getting into things :)

- Somedays she is sooo close to walking and others she wants nothing to do with it.

- LOVES dolls, it's the cutest thing ever she hugs them kisses them and hollers at them.

-Bedtime is at about 9pm she wakes up at 3 for a bottle and is usually back to sleep until about 8am.

-She is seriously such a good baby so relaxed and happy all the time.

4th of July

We had such a fun 4th of July

Good food, Family and

Fireworks.

Camping

For the 4th of July my family goes camping every year to boulder UT I have yet been able to make it with my kiddos and finally this year we did! We had lots of fun Ava didn't like sleeping much that was kind of a disaster but other than that she did great and Libby was in heaven with cousins and dirt.

Living Planet Aquarium

We decided to get the kids out and do something fun our orginal plan was to go to thanksgiving point farm country but when we got there it was FREEZING outside!! The living planet aquarium is sooo fun and neat they have so many different things to see and do! We got to see an 11 foot anaconda get fed yikes!! If you haven't been to living planet aquarium it's a must go and it's really not to far away. Ava was very interested in the penguins they were jumping in and out of the water and playing it was fun to watch. Libby's favorite was probably the sea horses she loves horses and she loves little things so a sea horse would be a dream pet for her!

Preschool Gradution

Libby graduated preschool she is getting so big so fast!! She learned so much in school her teachers were amazing! Libby can write all her letters and her numbers she writes her own name and recognizes a few words to read. Libby's biggest improvement this year was coming out of her little shell. We are so proud of her she is such a blessing in our lives! I love you miss lou!
