A little lady...

My little girl....

Daddy said this outfit made her look so much older, and now, looking at the picture - I think I agree. "Note to self: don't put her in this outfit unless you want to cry more".

Ava is growing up and changing a little more every day.

Just this morning she has learned how to click her tongue, "talk" on the phone (which, everything is a phone), and "read" books. It's adorable to watch her pick up a board book and turn the pages acting like she's reading it, all the while blubbering some baby language to explain. Precious.

I'm amazed at how smart she is, how quick she moves and how loving she is now - with bear hugs, slobbery kisses and just gripping me with all her might when I pick her up at night.

She says more things now, too. She loves "talking" to "dat" (dad) and when she's sad, she always calls for, "momma". She shakes her head "no" when she doesn't want what she's given to eat (not always so cute), and tries to sign something with her hands often - but we have NO clue what.

It's hard for me to believe that just a few months ago she looked like this...

She is growing up fast! They seem to do that! Seth always says that certain outfits of Hannah's make her look older too, and for us that's happening a lot more lately. Ava is just such a sweetie! So adorable!

Both she AND the outfit are precious! :)

Lily loves to "talk" on the phone too. She has a fake phone and she'll pick it up and say "Ah-doh" which I think is supposed to be "Hello" -- it's so stinkin' cute! :)

They do grow up so fast! *sniff*
