Happenings in the Life of Ava

  

Ava’s vocabulary has really exploded the past couple of months. She now repeats just about everything we say. In fact, I will often yell for Adam when I am in the kitchen (usually because I am fixing dinner and Ava is pulling everything out or whining to be held) so when Ava is yelling for her Daddy she is now saying “A-um! A-um” It is so funny (and cute)! What makes it funny is she only does it when she is yelling for him. If you ask her his name she will tell you “A-um” but if you ask her what she calls him she says “Daddy”, so at least she isn’t confused. She can also tell you just about anything you want to know and has a memory like you wouldn’t believe! I am amazed at how little it takes for her to grasp something.

 

Another major milestone (probably more so in my life than in hers) is that she no longer cries going to Waumba Land! WOOOHOOO! It has been a little over a month now since she last cried when I dropped her off before heading to church or Upstreet and what is even better is that now she does a sort of skip down the hallway to her class! Praise the Lord! I have been waiting for this to happen since the first time I dropped her off and had to hear her scream down the hallway as I left!
