Well the holidays are here, and we are looking forward to Ava's first Christmas. We decorated the house (with child safe decorations of course), put up the tree ( just lights and candy canes), and Aaron hung icicle lights on the house. Ava did not know what to think the next morning, when she awoke to see the Christmas explosion! We did get to capture her expressions on tape... it was priceless. She enjoys going up to the tree and taking the candy canes off and yelling. She also likes to play with Mommy's toddler size stuffed snowmen. We love watching her.
We took Ava to her first breakfast with Santa on Sunday!! They had a real reindeer, hank the elf, and of course Santa. We were waiting for screams when we sat Ava on Santa's lap, but then remembered..... Ava loves everyone with facial hair! She really enjoyed pulling on Santa's beard (poor guy), and was sad when her time was up. We had a great time, and are looking forward to more holiday fun with our little princess!! Ava is now able to clap, wave HI, and give you hi-five! She is pulling herself up to standing and is walking while holding on to tables, couch, etc. She still is a talker and is saying new babbles everyday. She is getting sooo big, and we love it; but also hate it at the same time. We miss our little bundle that was not mobile and slept in our arms!!
We wish everyone, safe and Happy Holidays!!!
