We're So Vain

We got some new family pictures done...FINALLY. I was feeling really proud of myself when we showed up to pictures. We all looked nice, I had snacks for Ava...I was all sorts of prepared to have a wonderful picture experience. And then Ava decided she hated me. Seriously, she screamed almost the whole time.
For a baby who looks so good, you would think she would WANT to have her pictures taken.
Anyway, we managed to get a few that turned out. The peeps at Fotofly are AWESOME. Though, we were the first appointment and I'm pretty sure we ruined our photographers day. Whoops.

Ava's 18 Month's...Which Means More Awesome Hair!

I can't believe the Flav's is 18 months old! She is such a little character - She surprises me everyday with something new...for example, she decided to start saying "awesome"! Legit!
Here are some fun things about my little buddy!

New Words
She can say most everyone's name...except her own. Funny thing, whenever I try to get her to say Ava, she says "awesome"...sounds about right...

She can say most animal sounds.

We are working on greetings. Right now she says "Hi" and we are working on "Sup". She also says "Bye Bye, Love you, Day (good day)!"

Loves
This girl loves just about everything. She loves when I bring a new game or activity to her attention. She is so curious and LOVES to discover new things.
TV...which is weird because we don't really let her watch TV too much.
Everything Yo Gabba Gabba
Friends
Grandparents
Coloring

 Picnics and Tea Parties
Her baby...she is so cute with her baby. She will carry her around everywhere, give her kisses, put her "nigh nigh" and tuck her in with a blanket. She loves to take her baby for walks in her stroller as well.
Being outside. I am so glad the weather is turning nice again. We love going on hikes, playing in the backyard, using chalk, etc...

Hiking in the Red Rocks

Reading. She loves to be read to, read by herself, anything to do with books. We make LOTS of trips to the library!
Right now she is a Daddy's girl...bummer.
She loves getting treats...we don't give her very much sugar and when she gets it, her eyes get big and her mouth goes wide open. Hilarious!
Dancing
Doors
Throwing things away.

Dislikes
Wearing clothes...totally takes after her mom on that one.
Riding in the car...I think once she is big enough to face forward she will like it a little bit more.
Getting her picture taken.

This is a tantrum because I said I wanted to take her picture.

 Eggs...seriously...who hates eggs?
Church...the whole "sitting still" thing drives her bonkers.

Don't mind that her sweater looks totally saggy and gross...It was actually a cute outfit...

We love Flavs so much and are so grateful for to joy she has brought into our lives for the past year and a half!
