April Update

Life at the Djordjevich household has been full of laughter...mostly Ava's, she has finally decided she finds herself quit amusing; like when she looks at herself in the mirror naked, when she squeals at the top of her lungs, when the cat comes within 2 feet of her, when we play peek-a-boo behind the doors, and when it's bath time she still crawls at top speed to the bathroom and jibber jabbers THE ENTIRE TIME...what could she possibly be saying anyway? I would love to know. She has a great laugh!

Okay, so Ava has had a dramatic relationship with this weird ball. She has been scared to touch it or even look at it without crawling on me for dear life with a shaky body (you know we laughed at it). Well, last night she decided she wanted me to pull it out of her toy bin. I held it, she looked at it, she looked away, I told her it was okay she could touch it, she looked at me, at the ball, almost touched it, pulled away her hand really fast, repeated this 3 times, then had a stare down with the ball for awhile, finally touched it ever so carefully like it was going to bite her, quickly withdrew her hand and wouldn't look at the ball again! I just LOVE her quirky side...you know she also has a strange fetish with socks.

We had a nice Easter and Ava ended up with FOUR Easter Baskets. She of course knew exactly what to do on the Easter egg hunt at Nonno and Nonna's. She went for the plastic eggs, tasted them first, and then put them in her basket. She's such a smart little girl...okay, I'm done bragging.

Ava just keeps amazing me every day, and it seems that even the small accomplishments make me beam with pride. She points at books when I ask her titles, she squeezes objects to get them to make a sound, she makes connections between pictures and real things, she learned how to use her spoon in two days and has been drinking out of a straw for months, she hardly ever cry's, and her walking ability will be mastered by her first birthday...which by the way, we are begging for warm weather to help us celebrate her Cinqo De Mayo Birthday!
