Oh Ava girl
Funny Story - when we eat dinner at home if Ava is wearing a long-sleeved shirt I will roll or push up her sleeves. Well….Ryan informed me today that when she walks into her school she knows she is about to eat breakfast, so she starts to push up her sleeves. The ladies in the morning think its so cute. They start to chuckle when Ava walks down the hallway.

Kick off to Christmas
I wanted to start a family tradition this year by doing something fun and festive the 1st weekend of December. This year we kept it close to home and made a trip down to Galveston. My dad, mom, uncle Augustine, Ava and myself (Ryan had already booked plans with his dad to play golf & go to the SAM game) had a wonderful (and very busy) time Saturday evening. We went to Dickens on the Strand, dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant: The Original Mexican Café and lastly The Festival of Light at Moody Gardens.
Ava was a little trooper! She enjoyed herself on the Strand watching all the characters pass while snacking on cinnamon baked pecans. She even got to pet a pony and see an elephant and camel. Maybe next year….or the year after that I will let her ride on one. By the time we made it to the festival of lights Ava was full and tired. We zoomed through the lights and called it a night.

23 months
I can not believe my baby has 1 month left until she is 2!! 2!!! Crazy how fast time is flying by….
I LOVE this age (I know I say this all the time, but it gets better & better). She is a little mini me & me BFF. She is changing & learning so much.
Clothes Size: some 24 months, but 2yr fits her best
Shoe Size: 6
Diaper Size: 5
Eating: Ava is my child! She eats & loves everything I do. She loves her veggies…tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, asparagus, mushrooms, everything. She loves to snack on cheese & crackers. She would rather have chicken over beef. Her favorite fruits are still strawberries & bananas. Oh and candy….and ice cream.
Sleeping: she is sleeping so well (when not sick). She goes down somewhere between 8 or 9. Will sleep until Ryan wakes her up on the weekdays about 7. On the weekends we let her sleep in & she will wake up somewhere between 7:30 - 8.
Bath: she still enjoy baths and try's to swim in the bath tub
Pacy: she doesn't take it at daycare. We only give it to her at night time, when she is being super fussy or sick. I want to get rid of them after the new year.
What is new:
Can say A - G
Count to 2, sometimes 3
Can hold up #1
Non stop chatter bug: I love to hear her say I love you, good morning and anything with an "R". She sounds so cute when she says color or Dora.
Loves to say: Mine, that, no and my….followed by mama, daddy, mimi, teddy….pretty much anything
Favorite shows: Dora!!! Fresh beat band. Dora!!! Diego Dora!!! Team Umizoomi….did I mention Dora!!
Dances to: Yo Gabba Gabba - get the sillies out & Team Umizoomi - crazy shake
Likes going to shopping (she will ask her daddy for money), to the park, to play with Emma and visiting Mimi & Gramps.
Favorite toys: her baby doll & stroller, colors, guitar, Hello Kitty, bracelets and purse
Ava is infatuated with trucks, tractors, vans and school buses. We will pass one on the street and she will scream "ah..big truck" or bus…what ever it is.
Likes to run or play chase. She will say, I'm going to get you.
There is so much I'm sure I haven't listed. She is learning and exploring so much at this age. She is a little sponge.

Sickness Update
Well Ava & I have not been able to kick this sickness. I have been all stuffed up & poor Ava bug has a terrible cough. We went to the doctor this week…..and what so you know?! We BOTH have allergy issues. I have a sinus infection & Ava has sinusitis. I had to get a shot, we are both on antibiotics & allergies medicine. Ugh!

Meet Holly
Thanksgiving
As always, we went to my parents house for Thanksgiving. We left Wednesday evening & stayed through Sunday. So Ava got plenty of Mimi & Gramps loving. Ryan got lots of guy and football time. I got a little Christmas shopping done, a pedi/mani and a movie date with my mom. And of course, Thanksgiving day was filled with family, food, football & great memories. I'm truly blessed!
