Staying busy!

Today was a fairly normal day for us. We got up, went to work and school, came home, met some friends for dinner and then came home to get Ava to bed. Ava is getting so close to crawling these days. She is VERY determined and can move but always seems to fall after she takes her first "step" (I don't know what you call it?). Her faces these days are cracking me up.

We had a wonderful time at dinner tonight at The Pink Flamingo catching up with friends who don't live close (and also those that do!). I only took one picture while there and it didn't turn out so well.

When Zach picked Ava up from my mom today, she reported that Ava had slept a total of 20 minutes today. 20 MINUTES!!!! Ugh.. she was fairly pleasant (until we got home) for being such a tired little girl. We got a bath and went to bed as soon as we got home!

Ava has recently figured out how to sit up from laying on her belly. She gets up on all fours and then can put her rear on the ground. She tried doing this in the bathtub tonight but didn't have any luck...

So she decided to bite her ducky instead...

After making her bottle, I found Ava like this - this was a new one. I've seen the binky in upside down, but never sideways! (Edited to add: look at how her nose is squished!) At the moment, we thankfully have a little girl snuggled in her bed and fast asleep. I can't wait to get up tomorrow and do it all over again (except for maybe the going to work part!!!)!!!
