10 Months

10 Months has flown by. I can remember how long it seemed to take when I was pregnant, it seemed like FOREVER! I guess that is the difference between  longing for this little person that you know you are going to love to death and actually having her! Ava has become a major talker. She has created her own language which we are all trying to decode! She can say Dada and Mama, she says "mo" for more...or just shrieks REALLY loud, and "ba" for bye. She has also learned how to wave bye-bye.

Bye-Bye!

 I am going to work with her on blowing kisses next :) About a week ago I was holding Ava and we accidentally "bonked" heads. So I said "ohh bonk" and she thought it was hilarious. Little did I know this would be her favorite form of entertainment. So now she bonks my head, the wall, kids at daycare and laughs each time she does it. She is no way head butting, it's a soft "bonk" but it still seems crazy and silly to  me that I have to take her away from the wall to have her stop hitting her head :0) haha.
Ava was a great little girl for Easter. We went out to Traer to Great Grandma Schoonover's brother's house. There ended up being a lot a people that came from out of town, between 25-30 and she loved it. She is very good with people and she definitely enjoyed all the "big" people food that they were giving her. This ultimately led to a day of her struggling to go number 2 and a day of blow outs! Ava still eats a few things of baby food (veggies mainly) otherwise she eats what I am eating. She loves grapes (which I cut into itty bitty pieces) and string cheese, and yogurt. If she see's Cole or I eating something we always hear "oh" really loud. She wants to eat whatever we are eating, and it's like she knows when I get out a jar of baby food that it is for babies, and she doesn't want to be one anymore. She will push my hand away, I have to try to get a little of the food in her mouth so she can taste it, and then she realizes that she likes it! What a turd :)
 We are excited to see her developments throughout her tenth month, I have a feeling that before her eleventh month post that we may have a WALKER! If it happens before I will update!
I am still planning Ava's birthday party. We have a date on June 10th, It's a Sunday, and invites will follow to family and friends!
Happy 10th month baby girl! We love you!
