Old Post, That I Never Posted! (From October)

Okay, so life has been CRAZY since we moved and started PA school, and I have been an absent blogger. So I found this little gem the other day, and aparently I never posted it. It was just to cute not to share! But, I am also working on a current one as well. After all Ava is 14 months old now!!! AHHH... time come back!!

I really love fall. Everything about it makes my soul happy. The crunchy leaves that change colors, the smell of apple cider, pumpkins carved on porches, and of course all the wonderful decor that is lavishly placed in ones home. I also love that it means there are so many holidays right around the corner. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I am overjoyed this year to be celebrating these holidays for our first time with a more aware Ava. I mean, last Thanksgiving she was born...so perhaps this thanksgiving will be a little less shocking to her. She is doing so many wonderful things now a days. It just makes me beam. I cannot get enough of her, it amazes me! She will be ONE (I know...it is crazy crazy crazy) next month! She is growing and learning more each day. It is such a miracle to be able to witness it all. They just learn so quickly and show you new things everyday. She also dressed up for her first Halloween: spoiler alert.... SHE WAS THE CUTEST 11 MONTH OLD ZEBRA EVER!

I love my life so much. We love our little family and watching miss Ava grow. She does so many things now that I don't know whee to start!

1. She is starting to walk! Awesome, yet scared for the constant bumps!
2. Ava has signs for golfer, banana (chomps mouth and points), milk (or sleep...uses it for both), more, and all done. It is so cute! And if she has no sign..she just points at what she wants and then at you to go and get it for her!
3. She blows kisses!!! Love this!
4. Ava loves to give awe's to other babies...aka "a smooch"
5. Ava can knows commands such as, "where is your Joey?" (Her kangaroo) "where is dada?" "Where is Ava"s baby?" "Go get a book!" (Her nonna would be proud!) "give that to momma." "Come here Ava", and "Ava NO!"
6. Ava points at everything she wants and does excited hands when you understand!
7. She feels emotions strongly... And knows what she wants!
8. Bananas are her favorite just like watermelon!
9. She is starting to understand above,below, up, and down.
10. She also loves baths and understand when I tell her to sit on her booty!

This really is just the tip of the iceberg... But you get it! This girl is the apple of my eye :)

Here are some more pictures of her when she was 10-11 months old. These are some of her daily must do's...
