ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ava has been very very sick. I will spare you of details but Keegan and I have never seen someone so ill. awful. starting late Friday night. Hopefully on the mend and praying Keegan and I can stay healthy although now a cough sounds like an added bonus. However, if there is no more vomit I can handle it. It was the worst thing has ever happened to me as a mom. It was also so very scary. We were close to having to go to ER for dehydration but she managed to keep water down. just a little something i learned.... never run out of laundry detergent... always have a back up.

Christmas tree farm

2 weekends ago we went to the same farm Keegan and his family always chopped their Xmas tree down. we too began our own traditions. my dad was in town so we all went. Ava loved it.

its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas......

loving playing in the bath.... ava will run into th ebathroom and climb in the tub head first and turn water on... the part she is missing is taking her clothes off so we have to watch carefully
playground fun

George

So Ava has a deep deep love for Curious George. She went from not liking TV at all to really liking a few things and now for the past three months it is Curious George. She loves him. Keegan and I are pleased with her choice of this little monkey and the DVD we have that is watched for a little (sometimes a longer time depending on just how early she wakes up) every morning is Curious George Goes Green. Its all about Compost, planting Gardens and recycling. She really loves it and often talkes monkey to herself. yes really the ooo uuuuaaaa a monkey makes is often how ava talks to herself. Well this weekend we decided to treat her to Curious George Live the musical. I do not know who was more excited me or her. I just wanted to see what she would do. She went crazy.

ava loves decorations

pumkins, lights, decorations... ava goes nuts. she gets so excited and kicks her feet and points. we go on Halloween walks and drives all the time. it makes holidays so much more fun. excited to see her at Christmas

genuine excitement

this is Keegan's favorite picture of all time possibly. just look how happy she is right there. she had just finished riding on the mini ponies with Keegan walking beside her.
