Week 8 (Feb. 19-25, 2011)

 Well my editing software is still on the fritz. It's totally dead! I am thinking about buying Elements 9. Does anyone else have that version? What do you think about it? I tried to download the free trial version so that I could test it out but for some reason it won't download. Blah! So all of my shots are SOOC this week.

This is what happens when a toddler finds hand lotion and decides to help herself.

Ugh, more construction! I am so tired of all the noise they are making! I totally overexposed this shot but it kind of looks cool.

Feb 22nd

I told Ava that she could have two of these mini doughnuts. When I returned she had taken every one out of the bag and had taken one bite out of each! Haha!

Feb 23rd

Ava latest flower arrangement from the local florist. I think she has a knack for it!

Looks like someone tired themselves out with that feather stick!

Ava was trying to show me her Jessie doll from the Toy Story movie.

Week 6 (Feb 5-11, 2011) and Week 7 (Feb 12-18, 2011)

I'm still alive! Sorry about missing last weeks post! Something is terribly wrong with my editing software so any of the pics below that are not watermarked are SOOC. 
 

Feb 5th

Yippee! New big girl bed! Well we finally did it, we bought Ava a bed. She isn't using it yet though. She I am not quite ready. But we have it and when the time comes it will be here!

Blah! Why do we all still have this cold? It has been 3 weeks! Well we are stocking up on vitamin C around here. Hopefully we can finally shake it!

A pre-Valentine's treat!

Feb 12th
Ava said that her Pluto toy was being mean, so she put him to bed!


Feb 13th
For the past few days, Ava has been trying to spit after brushing (like she sees us doing). I got her some little cups to help her out, but she was much more interested in playing with them.
 

Feb 14th
Happy Valentine's Day! <3


Feb 15th
The construction work is getting heavy-duty now! :)

Feb 16th
I had to sneak into Ava's room tonight to make sure that I turned her radiator back on. This is what I saw!

Ava's got some new headbands from cousin Rachael!
 

Feb 18th
We decided that we could use a little treat tonight! Ava said she wanted "pink" flavor ice cream so that's what she got! lol

Week 5 (Jan. 29-Feb 4, 2011)

Jan. 29th
We went looking for mattresses/beds for Ava's "big girl" room today. All we ended up with was this sheep. Ava thinks it is creepy and won't touch it so I tried to give it to Lucy (our dog). She agrees with Ava! LOL I don't know, I think he's kind of cute. And I was even able to capture some catch lights! ;)

Jan. 30th
Cat nap with Lola

Jan. 31st
Ava wanted to sit on the extra high chair seat that we have for the kids I babysit. First, she just wanted to sit on it but then she decided to buckle it and do this.... 

Feb. 1st
When we go shopping, Ava is in charge of picking out a few random items (like hand soap). This is the one she choose during our shopping trip this week. She loves the fact that it squirts out foam

Feb. 2nd
I was taking a few photos of Ava for the Joy of Love class. She stopped in the middle of the photo-shoot for a play break with her newest favorite toys, Mickey Mouse figures.
(To see more of my shots from the Joy of Love click HERE)

Feb. 3rd
Ava didn't want to take a bath tonight. I bribed her by telling her I had something really cool for her to play with. Well it worked but then I had to figure out what to give her to play with. This was the best I could come up with. Hard to believe how much fun a bottle can be!

Feb. 4th
Our cat, Lilly! At least somebody in this house is ready for bed!
