This month has flown by, seems like we just celebrated her 1st birthday. We definitely have a blabbering toddler on our hands. I look at Ava now compared to a few months ago and it is incredible how much she has changed. She is constantly, and I mean constantly, talking and on the move. I am sitting at the computer and watching her on her baby monitor and she is rolling circles in her crib and talking non-stop. Some of Ava's new words are:
- eyes (04.19.11)
- dog and puzzle (04.21.11)
- Easter night, she said Jesus, twice
- pretty (04.29.11)
- Is it? (04.29.11)
- Daddy and Ava (said in sentence form) (04.29.11)
- look (said while pointing at everything)
- Lola (05.03.11)
Ava is taking swim lessons on Monday nights at Miller Swim School, in Tulsa. She takes it with her good bud, Caleb, from church. She has so much fun singing the songs and "rowing", "kicking", and doing the "pancake." Often times, Ava is too busy to pay attention to her teacher, Ms. Glenda (who is awesome, by the way). She will point at other children in the pool, her Aunt LiLi who comes every week to watch her swim, or just random things that catch her attention. She is the cheerleader in the group and likes to clap when her classmates do a great job. She has learned to go underwater, climb out of the pool, doggie-paddle, float on her back; of course, these are all done with the assistance of her Momma, who has just as much fun as she does in the class!!

Ava has had such a busy month learning new things. She can jump, wave, say "Go Pokes" with her hands, clap, go find something, all when asked. She is such a smart girl!! We are so thankful for such a busy, heathly, and happy toddler!
