lOOK WHAT I CAN DO!

Ava has become the little gymnast, this girl LOVES Gymnastics...

We are getting BIGGER mommy!

Yesterday we had Ashton's 4 month check up and Ava's 2 year check up with our fabulous Dr. whom we LOVE!! Both of them did great Ava got 1 shot and poor Ashton 4. I just can't believe Ava is almost 2. The Dr did say he estimated her adult height to be 5'3" just like mommy :).

Here are their stats:

Ashton
weight: 16 lbs 7 oz (80%)
length: 24 in (45%)
head circumference: 41.2 cm (45%)

Ava
weight: 25 lbs (35%)
length: 33 1/4 in (45%)
head circumference: 47 cm

ALL about AVA!

So let me start out by saying Ava is almost 2. Since I am staying at home with her I have been teaching her numbers, colors, and amongst other things potty training. No were not even almost there yet, but for the last 2 poopies she has ran to HER potty saying poopoo, and has GONE. I am so HAPPY! Here are the latest photos of her from this morning! Oh-- and check out the pony tail!

Enjoy!

So, after nap today Ava and I decide to spend the afternoon romping in the grass...while she snacks on her favorite.... yes cold green beans!

Indian style. Like mommy.

Look how long her hair is.

She is such a joy to be with. We enjoy our time together while Ashton naps. I am always surprised each day by her vocabulary. When I asked her to pose for the pictures today she would say "sure" and "oh, I know". She is always making me laugh. Daily!!

YES its Ava...

I just had to share these...
This is sweet Ava at about the same age as Ashton
lounging in the same chair. See a resemblence?!?

my sweet sweet boy...

is already 3 months old!!

It was a gorgeous day on Sunday...here is Ashton lounging in the shade!

Ava had such a good time trick-or-treating, but I think she had even more fun handing out her candy!! We live in a great neighborhood with lots of families out for the evening. We enjoyed seeing all the kids dressed up... this was all new to Ava. Oh and Ashton wasn't quite sure what was going on...he slept in the bjorn while trick-or-treating and then was still half asleep when we got back home. fun- fun!!

INTRODUCING COWGIRL AVA!

My sweet BOYS!!

Ashton LOVES to lay on Daddy...

and he LOVES his pumpkin suit...

Family Fall FUN...

So we had lots more visitors this weekend... Grandma, Uncle Richard, Lauren and cousin JT (4 yrs old). We had super FUN at the fall festival in downtown Bryan. The kids enjoyed the bouncy slides, games, crafts, decorated pumpkins and haunted house You can click on the collage to make it bigger.

Not nap time again...

OK so Ava is almost 2 and she has become a horrible napper all of a sudden. She can be so tired and sleepy and still will fight to stay awake. Today was another struggle. Finally, I laid her in her bed fussing and all and closed the door. After about 2 minutes there was complete silence and this is what I saw.... She was out and will be out usually for 2 -3 hours. So I know she is tired!!! I have tried reading to her, TV, music, singing and she will not give up to go to sleep. I know it's a little late to start complaining now, but if anyone has suggestions I would try anything at this point.

Go AGGIES Go!

**LOVE**

This is his smile and wink all together
