too precious for just words...

so we must add pictures!

ava has started waving "hello" which is just about the cutest thing i've seen in a while...you know, since sometime in 2004 and 2007!!!!

i have spent much of today saying "hello ava" just so i can see her do it...again and again and again! she thinks she is something else too!

she has begun sitting up in her crib upon waking, is trying all kinds of "finger foods" (today after church she could not get enough watermelon, peas, and potatoes!!!), can scoot anywhere but refuses to really crawl, loves her mommy to pieces (he,he,he...not that i'm happy about that or anything), stood for about 5 seconds by herself the other day, and is still very opinionated about me walking out of a room...just pure precious love if you ask me!!!!!

we have spent a lot of time at the pool this weekend...i think we're trying to soak in all we can...and it just helps to be wet when it's about a million degrees outside!!!! i took my opportunity to have a photo shoot with my little bathing beauty...

who is...

too precious for just words!!!!!
