Ava Eleven months

This little cutie is now 11 months! I really don't believe it. I use my fingers to double check that is truly has been 11 months and unfortunately it has :( I can't believe how fast she is growing! We have way too much fun dressing her up and her Aunt Brittney sent some darling clothes just before she was born that she is now big enough to wear. So we have had even more fun! Does it get any cuter?!

We had little hope that she might actually grow up to be mellow and little quiet... she has confirmed that she too wants to be heard. She loves babbling but lately her babbling is making sense. She can say and understands mama, dada, baba, more, hi, bye, Ian and has just started saying Aaron. It is no surprise that she listens to us...she sounds just like me shouting for Ian.

The boys have been doing great! After heading back to school they have been a little exhausted but doing good. Oh the joys of the iPad! Since having their tonsils out (when they could be on the iPad 24/7 if it made them actually sit down and rest) we have been cutting back our electronic time trying to get back to our normal schedule. I am happy to report that we are finally back down to 0-30 minutes a day :) Unfortunately my house has also become much louder as a result.

If the boys bedroom door is open this little one can usually be found there. If she is alone she usually hollers for someone (Ian) to come and play with her. If she is quiet it means the boys have left their Legos out and she is attempting to shove them in her mouth...ahhhhh!

Nana sent us caterpillars. I have been pleasantly surprised how much fun these caterpillars have been. They are currently cocoons and should turn into painted lady butterflies in a few days :) 

With the warm weather approaching we have been loving spending time outside.

 Sibling love :)

In other news this little piggy is just that! She loves food. She is still not a fan of ground turkey but that is about it. As you can see she loves remotes, climbs onto anything, and loves to make a mess. If the pantry door is open she can be found pulling everything off the lower shelf.

Tim has been set on making sure she is no scaredy cat. She absolutely hated this for the longest time. Just recently she has decided it is hilarious. You can see that if she goes too high she is still a little unsure. 

She also loves her rocking chair. She can be found many times watching Baby Einstein or simply just chillin. 

 think we are getting pretty close to walking :) Ignore my frog/man voice I have a lame cold. Also that fact that she is kind of drowning in her clothes. She is just about out of 12 month clothes but not quite big enough for 18 month...so it is either too tight or too loose. At the rate she is growing the loose stage will not last long.
