Turtles!

On Sunday, Ryan spotted a baby snapping turtle in our pool! We're not sure how it got through the screen enclosure or into the pool itself, but we rescued it from a certain chlorine induced coma and I released it into the canal that evening. It was so tiny! I had brief thoughts of keeping it for my classroom, but that brought back memories of the 23 snapping turtle eggs I hatched sophomore year in college....not a pleasant smell, not to mention very uncuddly.

This is the little snapper by Ryan's pinkie finger. Now, we all know that Ryan has mammoth fingers, but this still shows how TINY this little bugger was!

Ava loves her 'honu' turtle onsie sent all the way from Hawaii (Thanks, Steph!). I'm sorry to say that she didn't wear it for long....this was outfit #3 in a 5 outfit day.

Watching The Barclay Open with Daddy...he reported 6 spit ups in the time it took me to shower and get dressed! Hence the 5 outfit day.

Now that Ava is addicted to rolling over, I had a chance to catch it on video. It took me many tries because she was so fast that sometimes I only caught the end of the roll. She still hasn't grasped the concept of rolling back over, so she gets a little frustrated after too long on her tummy. We're hoping for lots of practice once Grandma gets here: T-3 days!!! :)

I love her facial expressions in this video. She's looking at me as if to say, "Mom, this is no big deal...you've watched me do this a dozen times already! I'm so over how big you're making this out to be. I've practically been doing it for years!"
