SANTA

Ava had healthy food while at Christmas. She loved to chew on cold celery, I guess it made her teeth feel better.

This is the goofy little face she makes, I'm pretty sure she was watching Ty.


Ty got a cool present from Jeff parents. It's a little karoke machine for kids, plus they get to watch themselves on the tv. Super cool!!

One of my favorite features of the camera is the remote control and the self timer feature to take pictures...that way I can be in more of the photos verse behind the camera. This was my first attempt to take a picture with the timer. The only down side is that there is no one behind the camera to make Ava smile. But check out her blue eyes...I hope they stay blue. I am a sucker for dark hair and blue eyes.



Seriouly how cute is this little girl? It's been a long time since I've updated on her growing. She is now about 16.5 pounds, she cut her 1st tooth at 3 months and her second tooth just a week later. She loves to "talk" and make noises. Just this week she mastered sitting up and started "crawling." I use crawling loosely because she's been army crawling and getting around for over a month now. Being at the granparents with all the newly opened toys has motivated her to get into everything. She will get up on all fours and start rocking then she throws her body forward, then get up on all fours and does it all over again.

Christmas Eve

Santa came to my parents house this year. Ty got his DASH costume (which he has been wearing for the past 24 hours), a superman movie, and a remote control helicopter which is a big hit for ALL the guys. Ava could care less about her little lamb.

However the most exciting present for me was the HUGE surprise that Jeff got me. It is an AWESOME digital camera, with all the bells and whistles. SUPER SUPER nice so I can dabble in my photography hobby. Here are some photos I took with my new gadget.
