Ava's Funniest Moments

Ava is in a hilarious stage right now! She is talking up a storm and has picked up some very funny phrases! This morning we were all getting dressed and ready to go to Raleigh. I, as usual, was the last one ready and my little angel marched into the bathroom and said in the most southern voice possible... "Mama, 'moan" That is her version of "come on"! She says this a lot to the tv when she is waiting for a dvd to start... "Ba-ba 'moan" (that means Barney come on!)

A few weeks ago on the way home from church she dropped her pacifier and said "Awe man"! I laughed so hard I was crying!

She has recently started saying "scared" and crossing her arms and making the funniest face! I think she learned this from my mom but she says it about Santa Claus commercials, the sound of the train or loud cars outside, fake reindeer and just about anything else she sees. We laughed at her for the longest time at first but now we are trying to teach her that Jesus doesn't want us to be scared! Hopefully this will work because I really want to get her picture made with Santa this year....I won't hold my breath on that! :)

We are working on counting, animal sounds, shapes, and learning our ABC's. She loves to count but the only number I can understand that she is saying is "twoooo". She is a pro at animal sounds and knows the cow, dog, kitty cat, snake, lion (but she was saying that when she was 9 months old!) duck, and she pinches her nose for the skunk! Colors are a little more challenging because EVERYTHING is "pu-ple" to her but we will get it!

Have a great weekend everyone! I am going to try to convince David to let us decorate for Christmas tonight so if we do I'll share some pictures! That should interesting...
