Happy Fall Ava Kate!

 Playing around...
 Very serious...
 Back to funny...
 Precious one...
 All smiles...
 Too cute...
 You love your "button shirt" because it has great buttons on the tree.
Sweet Ava Kate,

Fall has arrived in Charlottesville and we are so excited to bake and visit the apple orchard to get some apples and make apple crisp like Grama makes.  As the Fall comes and the leaves change, you continue to grow and change.

Some of your changes include the fact that you are now completely potty trained. I guess you just decided it was time when I put you in your big girl pants a few weeks ago. You tell us when you need to go and have had no accidents in the past two weeks. You want to do everything by yourself and often will even get up in the night and tell me you have to use the potty.

You are now singing your prayers before the meal. You sing"God Almighty", the prayer you sing at school. You close your eyes so tight and will sing with all your might. Then, after you are done you say "yeah"! You are so cute! The park is still one of your favorites and you still love the swings. Recently you have been watching football with Daddy and you will yell "get up" to the players when they fall down. You are already learning to cheer for the Cowboys and Seminoles! Yeah football season!

We love watching you learn, grow, play, dance to music and sing. There will be more changes to come this fall outdoors and in. We can't wait to experience it all with you as we pick out a pumpkin, eat fall treats and enjoy the falling leaves together!

Happy Fall Ava Kate!
Love, Mommy
