It has been a long time

Where has the time gone?  So much has happened here since my last blog;Bumpa and GG came to visit from Concord, MA and went indoor skydiving, Grandma Beth came to stay with us and wactch Ava while we were at work, Ava's 1st tubby, a cool and wet spring, smiling, laughing, kicking, very vocal, loves to cuddle, loves the bjorn, fights naps during the day but sleeps well at night, Jo has her first baby Kylen, Lisa is pregnant expecting a baby boy in August,Simon gets a new job, I get a new job as well, Ava signed up for daycae starting in August at Little Critters, nervous about daycare in general but chose the perfect place.

I have found my feet, so interesting:)

pretty eyes


Yesterday, Simon surprised me with a new video camera and external hard drive to save photos and video, I have taken a few of the little one and plan to take it to this year's first farmer's market tomorrow, now if only I could figure out how to download one here.  I tried today and it just said loading for what seemed like forever. 

Ava is currently in her 9-12 month clothing and growing like a weed.  Her 6month pj's were just not long or big enough anymore.  She currently loves her Bumbo, watching soccer with Daddy, standing up on Daddy's lap, Reading ( her favorite is currently Chica Chica Boom Boom), her bouncer ( she has figured out how to play the music herself:), riding in the bjorn, laughing, tubby time,kisses, watching others sing,babbling, putting her hands in her mouth and touching anything she can (especially lambie pie).

graduated to the bouncer, loves to press the buttons to make music

fun in the bouncer

my new favorite face:)


Her new hair gets longer and longer daily, I think she has my hair color, but she looks just like her father.  She now has her own personality and we are loving it more and more every day:)

playtime, Mommy and Daddy think I have begun teething because....

if I am not sucking on my fist, I am

sucking on my lambie pie. Lambie pie comforts her and goes everywhere with us now:)

Coming up: 1st birthday party( Mason and Addison), 1st wedding (Jo) and Christening on August 15th
