Ava has seemingly mastered the art of self-feeding. While it's not always pretty, she loves feeding herself and it makes for great photo ops! Grandma and Ava picked me up one day at school and took me out to lunch.
"So big" with sweet potatoes!
Exhausted after a full meal.
And posing for the camera with a face full of lunch!
My friend, Danielle, brought her twin boys over for lunch and a little bit of a play date with Ava. She really took to Max, checking out both him and his toys.
Completely satisfied after her first experience eating whole pieces of steamed broccoli. It looked like it exploded all over the dining room!
Grandpa came down for a long weekend and we took Ava for a nice stroll at Green Cay Nature Center. Lots of squawking moor hens and lots of Ava-admirers.
Finding the beach toys and extra dog bowls to bang shovels on.
"Hey Mom, gimme that!"
Her first ever ride on a merry-go-round. Grandpa said she wasn't quite sure what to think about it. I think he thoroughly enjoyed himself though!
Checking out the deer and the West African Crested Crane, which bears and uncanny resemblance to Ava. I think it's the yellow fluffy feathers atop it's head.
On Grandpa's last night, he had Ava squealing and giggling while playing peek.
This is possibly my favorite eating picture ever! Not only did she have black beans and whatever else she ate all over her, but she really topped it off by grabbing a fist-full of hair and pulling it straight out to the side. And the best part was that it stayed like that! :)
Ah, the joys of discovery...a treasure trove of plastic wonders.
This past Saturday we spent the afternoon at the Cocoanut Grove Art Festival (Brent had his tent there). Ava got lots of looks by passing strangers when she was gnawing on Ryan's (empty plastic) beer bottle. It must have felt wonderful on her gums!
Heading back to Stephanie's apartment after the show. It was a bit windy and chilly.
Happy Valentines' Day! All cleaned up and in her festive candy heart pjs!
