The Cunninghams

Ava doesn't forget ANYTHING!

• Today while playing with a little plastic block that is green and is actually "grass" to go along with her Cinderella block castle I got her at a garage sale, she said "Broccoli?" So funny...it totally looked like it.



• She always plays with my bracelets and she recently found one that is cream in color and is made up of little rounded rectangles and she was going around going "Dominoes..." She loves to play with Dominoes at the sitter apparently. It was just funny!



• She knows all of her body parts - and let me say ALL of them. Apparently I've told her what a "booby" is because she for sure knows that. OOPS! Last night while rocking before bed (my FAVE time of day...we just "snuggle" and rock, sing, tickle, etc. then I lay her down. It has always been our routine...never rocking her to sleep, though). Anyway, last night while snuggling, she says (while poking my eyes out...), "two eyes!" I was like, "yes, thank you!" LOL. Then I asked her where her armpit was (and she knew), then her knees, shoulders, etc. She knows all of those due to singing "Head, shoulders, knees and toes..." Then I thought, ok, what other areas can I ask her about so we learned elbow, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. she's a funny little booger!



• Other funnies...



• She is into everything being kissed right now. The other day apparently she hurt her butt because she said..."kiss it...(then...) butt" I never thought my almost 2 year old would tell me to KISS HER BUTT! LOL



• She is really understanding so much and has started talking in sentences and even answering questions appropriately. SOMETIMES...LOL. Some of her new little phrases lately are: "What happened?" "I hear it!" "What is this?" "Are you all right?" "I don't like it" "I don't "wan" it" "I LIKE IT!!!" "Morning!!!" "I "luz" you" (melts my heart!) Oh, I know there are tons more.


• She also says "Mines" for "mine" Cracks us up. I guess because there is an "s" on YOURS, she thinks there should be one on the end of MINE.


• Last night while playing with her "letters" (which she loves!!), she plain as day picked up the S and screamed "S!!!!!!!!" I was surprised. I know she knows "A" considering it is her letter and the first letter of the alphabet. LOL. =)


• She is still counting randomly. She usually counts by twos. HA!


• We have a little prayer book (Thanks Megan!) and it sits on the little nightstand table and each night she grabs it and says "Amen?" I feel like a horrible parent sometimes because we haven't been going to church regularly, but I am still trying to instill in her a love for Jesus. My goal is to start going this summer and I am really hoping I can stick to that. I know summer sometimes is even more crazy than during the school year. Unfortunately every Sunday since January has been devoted to finalizing my homework. Not a good excuse, I know. But life has been crazy! Again not a good excuse but with getting our house ready to sell and keeping it up for possible showings (which there have been NONE so far), weekends are TOO SHORT! It is truly a goal for me/us, though and like I said, am hoping we can make it a priority this summer or even before. Wish us luck.
