Christmas Eve!

We got to play with Aunt Sandy and Uncle Peter today! They are the best! We also admired Aunt Sandy's beautiful new bling. The ring was too sparkly to take a picture of it! We couldn't get the camera to focus!



We had Christmas dinner at our house! Mom is taking the picture and everyone else is posing with me! They made me cry by putting mashed potatoes on my plate. Also, I had to eat turkey! Gross!



This is a picture of me with my crown...sitting on my throne. My gram made this crown for me! I can put it on myself - even upside down!

Since I don't have a real throne, I'll just use this block cart! I can climb up on it. I can stand on it, too! But, I still can't walk. I did take a step or two today because my mom stood me up in the middle of the room and scooted out of reach! She's a tricky mama!

Polite Ava

Ava received a birthday present today from her Aunt Emmie and Uncle Dan. Like a polite little girl, she focused a lot on the card! Really, she ignored the books at first! She opened and closed the card over and over!

Then she realized that she had a pile of BOOKS in front of her... HOORAY!!! Some of her favorite things. We've spent the last ten minutes reading about the sounds Mr. Brown can make! Over and over...and over and over...moo, hoo, knock, boom...

Power struggle

You're witnessing the main power struggle in our home. Ava really gets a kick out of Sahja's bed. He knows he's not allowed to do anything about it, but he'd really like to!

The worst part of it is that she loves to be near him. She gets excited and 'pets' him anytime he is within range!
