Ava's been a busy little toddler (she'll be 20 months on Feb. 9). She loves to find empty laundry baskets (or almost empty and she'll happily dump out the rest) to lay in, sit in, read in, etc. Here she is reading in the laundry basket with her baby doll. I had just given her a pillow that she had asked for.
Ava got a kitchen set for Christmas. (Thanks, Rebecca for the great deal!) Here she is with her Aunt Kelly and cousins, Yummum (William) and Kate.
Here she is stuck in the toy basket in her closet. I heard her yelling, "Help! Help!", but made her pose for a picture before I got her out.
Ava loves her mermaid tent that my parents got her. She also loves the blanket from Chris' dad. Here are just a few of the phrases Ava has been using lately, (some I enjoy hearing more than others):
1. No, Mommy...(when she doesn't want to do something)/Stop it Mommy (when she doesn't want me to do something - like talk to Daddy or check my email instead of paying attention to her)
2. I don't want to
3. Ava do it ...Mommy do it (said this when Mommy told her to clean up her mess)
4. Uh-oh, I dropped it
5. Where'd it go? I found it.
6. I sorry Mommy/Daddy....or she'll say "I sorry" when she gets hurt
7. C'mon! Hurry!
8. Help! I stuck.
9. I love you/I love you too!
10. What happened? What's that? OH, no!
11. First, diaper/eat/clean-up -then, books/play (repeated after I say it)
12. I drive (Ava says as she sneaks into the driver's seat of our new van and starts turning the wheel and moving the gear shift)

What a precious list of little sayings from Ava! You will be so happy to have this little snapshot of how she speaks now.
I can't believe how much Ava's talking. I agree with Camie. You will treasure this list of words she could say. What a cutie!
Totally adorable. That is such a cute age!
Nate likes to climb under the laundry basket. And sometimes puts the cats under the laundry baskets, too.
