Miss Ava

Peek-a-boo

Chewin' on the funnel

Love the position...and her socky. If she isn't pulling them off, they are falling off anyway!

Pretty girl...

"Check me out..."

Happy Girl!

Playin' with mommy's foot...

Things are getting more and more fun around the Cunningham household. It is REALLY hard to believe that Ava will be 9 months old in 5 days. I actually didn't even realize it was that close until I just looked at the calendar. Even though I feel like winter is never ending and I'm so anxious for spring (so anxious that I painted my toenails for the first time in months), February is FLYING by! Don't you think so? Anyway, here's the latest...

• Ava is now saying "mama" (YAY! :) I was gone yesterday for the day to the outlet mall with Annie and Katie and I came home to her saying it.



• She is also kind of saying a "b" sound (baba?) and the "n" sound too, I think (Nanci??)
  
  


• Her 2 bottom teeth are really coming in and I must say, they are "2 cute!"




• She is still not 'technically' crawling but her version is much more entertaining. She doesn't even really do the army crawl, it is more like the "worm" but today she was even just kind of pushing herself along to where she wanted to go with one leg---almost like the other leg is paralyzed. I need a video for sure! Anyway, if there is anything electronic around (mostly cords), she can get to it in the blink of an eye!



• She L.O.V.E.S. to stand. She giggles when you help her walk and she loves to stand at her musical toys and play. She is getting better at pulling herself up all the way. I have to remind myself not to always do it for her. :-) My friend Jaime got me these things called walking wings. I will definitely have to use them soon. They help you so you don't have to bend over when you are helping little ones walk. How cool!



• I am loving my new camera. I am hoping to take a class on how to use it/photography this summer. (Man, I sooooooo can't wait for SumMeR!!!!!!!!)



• I went to an open house today. I was just browsing FSBO - (For Sale By Owner) and there was an open house going on at that exact time for a house that looked really cute. My friend Kim met me there. We both really liked it. It will probably be SOLD soon because it is in a nice area--Attached garage, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 4 rooms in the basement (semi finished) and very reasonably priced. Oh well, hopefully it will get the ball rolling for us. We want to move ASAP so I guess we'll be trying to find out our status with our house and maybe put it up for sale. On the drive home, I felt a little guilty (like our house might find out...LOL), but no really, I will miss our house! It is our first home and has so much character. I'll miss that when we move someday.
