My baby has turned into a little toddler. She amazes me every single day. I just love her!!! I swear I tell her every chance I get.Size:

Quack - like a duck
Still babbles, points a lot & screams. We are trying to sound words out to her & tell her what things are.
Favorite Foods:
Strawberries
Mac n Cheese
Fruit Loops
Trying to use the spoon more when eating
She will make the cutest little faces when she really like something & even lets out a mmm sound out.
Ava knows:
Where her belly, nose, eyes & ears are & can show you where yours are too.
What noise a duck makes.
We think she knows what color yellow is, but sometime she will come back with orange.
Ava loves:
To be outside running with me, grilling out with dad, riding on her little tikes car, playing on her little tikes castle, running around on the grass or bossing the dogs around.
To take a bath. Loves to splash the water & play with all her toys.
For us to chase her.
To help us (get in the way) unload the dish washer or fold clothes.
To dance
Ava hates:
Wearing shoes & socks
Putting clips & bows in her hair
Going on long drives if she is not tired
Ava can:
Drink from a straw
Brush or teeth (or tries). I still need to help her, but she insist on trying to do it herself.
Brush her hair (or tries)
Give the dogs their treats
Give high five
Wave Hi & Bye
Give you a kiss (will put her forehead to your mouth)
Give you a hug
For the most part she understand us when we tell her to do something (ex: go to daddy, give mama a kiss), go get something (ex: go get your blankie) & where is something (ex: where is your baby).
This month:
Ava was bit in the cheek at daycare :(. Poor baby! I got a call at work that Ava & a little girl were playing with a toy and the next minute the other little girl bit Ava. I had to sign an incident report and dont kid yourself, I had a talk with the director to ensure this wouldn't happen again. I dont want Ava to keep getting bit or worse pick up that habit. I know its was bound to happen, I just dont want it to continue. So I started watching Ava on the daycare cam again. I hadn't been for a while, but I will now.
She has her 15 month check up on Friday. I will post stats. I think she is still in the 80% for everything. I think she is pretty tall & we get told a lot that she is tall for her age.
I'm going to stop giving her a night time bottle. I plan to start fresh next Sunday. This is the only bottle she has all day. We have never tried to stop giving it to her. I think it is more me, I enjoy holding her while she drinks a bottle. I guess I'm selfishly holding onto that little aspect of Ava being my baby.
