I sat down this evening and realized that I had not posted since February, then I thought about the last month and a half and remembered why I have not had the time to post. Besides the fact that we are always on the go every minute, we decided to put our house on the market and have spent all of our free time getting our home ready to sell.
We have had so many great things going on that I do not want to put everything in one post so I am going to post about each milestone that we have had recently and dedicate this post to a brief overview.
Since I last posted in February, we finished the month with a family weekend. We went to visit Nanny in her new apartment in Franklin and took her out to a great BBQ in Russellville, Kentucky. The following day we took Ava to a bounce house and we finished the weekend with Sunday chicken at Cracker Barrell.
The following weekend we traveled to Atlanta for one of Travis's good friend from college, Rob Townley's, wedding. I surprisingly did not take any photos from the Wedding but we had a great weekend celebrating with friends.
The next weekend Travis was out of town in Chicago and my sister moved back in with us, but only for two weeks, while she was in between leaving Nashville and moving to Kingsport. It was great to spend the last two weeks with her in Nashville before she left to go back to East Tennessee.
The next couple of weekends involved Ava's dedication, my 31st Birthday, Easter, our house going on the market, and my sister's Wedding.
We took Ava to the pediatrician this morning for her 18 month check up.
Height- 34 inches which is the 95% and all Swearingen
Weight- 28 pounds which is the 90%
Her pediatrician suggested that we purchasing a training potty for Ava so we can start talking to her about it. She already knows when she is about to have a bowel movement because she will run and hide until she is finished so I hope that potty training will not be too bad.
Oh my goodness is Ava ever a little girl. She loves to pretend by cooking us food in her kitchen. She can sing songs and her favorite is still dancing. She is starting to say two word phrases and the other day Travis told us to have fun on a walk and Ava responded "We Will!" We listen to a children's CD in my car and the driving home from Aunt Mandy's Wedding before the song started Ava recognized the tune to Monkey's Jumping on the Bed and said "No Monkey's" before the words to the song started. She does not like anything that has to do with associating her as a baby and will tear of her bib and will not eat her food on a mat. She is finally starting to try some new foods and uses her spoon well and is doing better with her fork. Ava is starting to show more affection and will give us hugs but still no kisses. She has not said it yet, but the day that she say's "I love you" will be one of the best moments of my life.
Here are some of the pictures of highlights from the last month.
Ava's first time eating cereal with milk, she was big fan!
Fun afternoon spent at the bounce house!
Loving on Grandpa and Aunt Mandy
I love these pictures of Ava, she looks like such a big girl lying on the floor coloring.
Morning spent at the park and afternoon at the zoo, it was a very busy day. Ava had no fear going down the slide face first but was not a fan of the carousel ride at the zoo.
Just as we finished all of the touch up painting we turn around for one second and Ava colors on the bathroom door, thank goodness for Magic Eraser which got it right out!
Ava loves walking in my shoes and sometimes insist that I take them off so she can wear them around.
