Ava- 15 Month Post (a tid bit late)

So I realized the other day that I had not done an update on Ava lately.  I was wanting to find a place to record some of the new things she is doing now that I no longer have a baby calendar. The blog is going to have to do for now!  

Anyhow, Ava, you are at such a FUN AGE!!  Every day your precious, loving, and spunky personality shine through a little  more!  You are starting to use more words and just do more big kid things!  So precious (and sometimes so challenging;))! 

Lately baby girl the words you have either clearly said or attempted to say are.....

bird- twee-twee

diaper

chicken

turkey

hat

baby

bye-bye

shoes

dragon

puppy- woof woof

shine (this little light of mine)

bible

Jesus

bath

wa-wa (water)

keys

bottle

cacker (cracker)

outside

wee (anytime you see a swing or a rocking chair)

Jo (josiah)

Harper (friend)

Haddie (friend) 

ball

apple

more

mine

no

please

cheese

thank you

bawoon (balloon)

hush or shh - with your finger over your mouth- love it!

There are more that I am missing I am sure but those are some of the new additions to your vocab right now- lol!

You also are:

Dancing in circles to Ring Around the Rosie and enjoy being dizzy

Throwing and catching balls

Trying to hit the golf ball with the club

Starting to "get/tickle" daddy and I

You pound it with people

You like to back up to daddy and I when you want to sit in our laps

You give the best voluntary and involuntary kisses

You love your friends and cousins

Saying Hi and Bye to anyone and everyone

Starting to put things back in their places

Chasing the balls of your ball popper and putting them back in

Knocking on doors when someone is in a room or outside that you want to get to

Going down smaller slides by yourself with someone waiting at bottom

Starting to climb

Doing stairs by yourself as long as you have some kind of railing to hold onto

Becoming interested in buckles

Undoing your shoes constantly

Starting to understand drinking from a straw

Almost using a spoon by yourself

Still loving your sleep and your bed

Associating some letters with words

You love to sweep or mop with your broom or any of mine

Testing your boundaries (a lot)

I think I will stop there!  You are just growing so fast!  Everyday I have at least one if not a gazillion precious or funny stories to tell your daddy when he gets home!  We are so very in love with you! 

Thank You sweet girl for the joy and love you share with us each and every day!

Have a great week!!
