Ave's First Haircut

Ave's first haircut (June 21) and boy, did she need it! She looks a little boyish but super cute!

Ave's Destruction of Choice...

Ave likes to play "Baby Godzilla" all over this house. I think her fav thing to do is get in Mommy's tea/Splenda stash. I just clean it up everyday since a) I have gotten soft in my old age and b) she just seems to enjoy it so much!

A Milestone!

Ave was playing in the plastics drawer and forgot herself for a minute...she stood up without assistance for a couple seconds and beared her weight on both legs! Yay!

Avery and Her Hippos

Avery loves the hippo commercials from Telus...here's her fav:



We took some pics of the hippo at the zoo just for her (and what luck since he was out of the water that day!).

Avery's Milestones This Week

• Avery learned how to wave (and on command!).
• She enjoyed the swings at the local park. Short pushes but she giggled all the time.
• Loves bubbles blown at her in the water during swim class. Always says "Dah" in her loudest voice so you will do it again.
• Drove mama over the bend by waking up every half-hour (this ain't new...just making a re-appearance!).

Where You Going?

"Upstairs."

(Forever going up and down the stairs! And with some of the craziest hair ever!)

Ave's Cardiology Appointment

Ave's trip to the cardiologist went well (mild pulmonary stenosis and a murmur - none of which was news). She doesn't have to go back until next year.

The worst part was spending the two hours wrestling her down for the EKG and echocardiogram and making sure she didn't trash the joint since she insisted on investigating every square inch of the clinic!

She weighs 22 lbs. now and is in desperate need of a haircut!

Tomorrow she has physio so its back to the hospital we go!
