You and Daddy hanging out.

Here you are with Sam exchanging candy.

...and taking a ride.

my little lion

You tried to give the candy back a time or two.

You did not want to keep your lion hood on, but you still were the cutest lion I ever saw!

Here we are meeting new friends and gathering treats!

Sweet Baby Girl,
Tonight you were so precious. You were a little hesitant to get candy from our neighbors but finally started to enjoy yourself. You were trying to give your candy away. It was too cute. You loved hanging out with Sam, he was a cute duck! Then it started to rain and we had to head home. But then we handed out candy for a while. You wanted to eat candy but settled for some mini animal crackers and some milk. You made a cute lion and had a fun night! Here are some pictures of us.
Love you! Mommy

Ava Kate ~ You joined mommy for a sister's weekend with your two aunts, uncle Josh and cousin Gabe. We had so much fun, went to the zoo and watched you and Gabe play together all weekend long. You loved being with family and laughed so much! You have been talking so much more and saying the cutest things. You are growing up so fast and I want to remember each moment. Here are some pictures of our weekend. Love you sweet girl. Mommy

You - exploring the beach with Daddy!

Ava Kate -
You loved the beach even more this time! You played in the waves and picked up shells, placing them in your bucket one by one. You love adventure and enjoy climbing, running and exploring everything in sight. At daycare, they have a hard time keeping you in your chair at lunch time. And the other day I was told that you used the table as a runway. Fearless. You play hide-and-seek with Daddy and Mommy. You love to play the "I love you" game that ends in tickling and laughter. Dancing is also a favorite of yours and it is so cute when you dance around, sometimes you twirl around and get dizzy. You also give high fives with both hands and you giggle when you give Mommy two high fives at once. You call your blanket your bebe - we are working on pronouncing blanket but it is so cute to hear you try! You also often say shoe, no, (we are working on yes) mommy, daddy, nana, papa, ball, turtle, baby, night, night, bye, please, what's that, done, love you and more. You are growing so fast and learning so much. I can't wait to teach you more words and learn more from you my sweet little girl. I am excited to share more vacations with you as you grow. Love you bunches, Mommy
