Wow...where has the time gone??? Ava is 10 months old today. It's so hard to believe that soon we will be planning a first birthday party!! It makes Mommy so sad to see her baby grow up, yet it is so much fun to see her learning and growing everyday.
One of Ava's favorite parts of the day is bath time. She loves a bath...wonder where she gets it from? Here are a few pictures of her first bubble bath.

Ava got her 4th tooth this week. She now has 2 bottoms and 2 tops and boy are those think like razors!! She has taken to biting whatever she can, your pant leg, the remote, a shoelace, Momma...basically, you name it and she'll attempt to bite it! I am praying this is due to teething pain and not that she enjoys biting.

Another new trick Ava has learned is climbing the stairs. Okay, so if you ask Dada, he'd say that Momma taught her. She absolutely loves to climb them and giggles with excitement if you pretend to chase her up the stairs. She is so proud to do it by herself. I have a feeling we are going to be hearing that a lot soon...she wants to do EVERYTHING by herself!!
In addition to loving bath time and climbing the stairs, some of Ava's other favorites at the moment are:
- feeding herself with a spoon
- getting all her toys out of her toybox
- climbing on the fireplace
- getting into things she knows she not supposed to be getting into, i.e. pantry, going through the baby gate, taking the remote or cell phones, etc.
- whatever we are eating, especially pizza
- watching herself on videos or looking at pictures of herself
- Sesame Street's Abby Cadaby
- Anything Elmo related
- she is learning to do puzzles
- shaking her head side to side to say NO!
- she likes to mimic faces or sounds that we make
- fake coughing
- cutting teeth
- sitting in her carseat
- being fed by someone, she wants to be big and do it by herself
- whole bananas
