UUUUMMMM....

I just haven't found time to talk about anything right now. So much is going on but there's no energy left at the end of the day to even want to type and rethink the day. Teeth, LOTS of poppy diapers, her first diaper rash (my record is over), less sleep, changing personality, super cute talking, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, and mama some more if she wants to show me something and I'm not quite paying attention, big hugs, lots of kisses, obsession with wanting to play in dada's truck, a fit at least once a day, "mmmmooooo", able to match animals up on puzzles and put them in their place (you know I make her wear a GENIUS shirt...because she is!), the independent bug has kicked in (don't even try to help her down the slide), on and on and on I could go. Ava makes me smile MOST of the day, Dejan and I have turned a corner as parents, we just seem to jive and I like that.

We are off to a Dave Matthew's concert tomorrow night! A night away for the first time in almost 17 months, I can't wait! I know Ava will be having fun with Tata Rosy and cousin Nick...she loves video games so the two of them probably wont even need Rosy.

Thanks to her Arizona Aunties and Uncles for all the great clothes they sent Ava earlier this summer. This is my favorite on her and she sure enjoyed posing.

What is poor Dejan going to do...I want to change everything in my house! You see, I should not be allowed to stay home for more than a year, after that I hate EVERYTHING in my house.  I want new wall colors, new carpet, new dining room furniture, fix the basement, take out the 70's trim in the kitchen, put in a bathroom on the main floor; can you imagine we have lived here for 6 years, with me having one surgery, one pregnancy, one c-section, and 16 months going up and down to change diapers...now who's coming to do all the work for me? :-)

Well, let's talk about Ava to get my mind off that!

I am amused at how much she loves her shoes. She already has a favorite pair which we have to put on every morning, and every morning they make her fall down because she's not good at walking in them and of course she cries. She sat right down on her new potty, made a fart noise and had me take off her diaper..not bad for her first time. I am really excited about how she does almost everything I tell her to do (hahahaha), we think she may like our neighbor Chris more than she likes us, she already eats in a booster seat, and she is SO close to telling Dejan and I to get out of her way she's going over to see Chris ("keeeee") and Sara ("ssiii"); as for right now, she gives her demanding point and walks right over to his house!
