Ava: 157 weeks old…
Howdy. Our little Ava is now 157 weeks old.
And she is still hanging out with her best buddies. Woody and Buzz.
And look. They will now be hers forever. And that made her (and them) really happy.
She even picked out Toy Story band-aids over Dora and Princesses. And when we went to go buy more pull-ups, she dissed Dora and Princesses again! And got Toy Story ones. Boy ones!!!! With a boy on the packaging. (This is where Dan and I start high-fiving each other. Take that you pink princesses!!)
Ava got to hang out with Jeremy a bit this week too. But did she play Toy Story with him? Nope. Princess jewelry!!! Hmmm…
Then it was party day! FINALLY!!
And she picked an Ariel theme… but was this close to changing it to Toy Story… but decided that Toy Story would have to wait until next year. Phew… because I bought a lot of mermaid crap.
Hello Clubhouse! It’s party time.
Look at my mermaid cake!
Soon enough, everyone showed up to play.
And it was pizza time!
And then it was time for the cake of her dreams.
Say cheese! It took a lot of pictures to get one smiley picture with all the kids. Ava did not like it one bit that she had to share a chair with Nathan. Nona even sneaked a barely awake Mila in the photo too.
Then it was time to bounce bounce bounce.
And when Ava fell, her best friend at school picked her up. Ahhhhhh.
I spent the last 30 minutes actually playing with Ava instead of hosting. It was awesome if you can’t tell.
Then we all went home to watch Ava open presents. She loved them all.
Especially the newest additions to her Toy Story crew. Who ALL had to sleep next to her that night.
And then a little miracle happened. Yoda slept on her bed. For the first time ever. And good thing that Ava didn’t wake up to see this. She would have FREAKED.
The very next day, we braved the pouring rain to step on Hollywood stars and to see Ava’s first movie…
DUMBO!
YEAH!! She loved. There was confetti and dancing chipmunks and movie booster seats and popcorn and Dumbo too. She giggled out loud during some scenes too.
And look what was in the lobby. Oh boy! Hits theaters June 18. I hope she can wait that long!
So we crossed party and movie off of the list. Then it was time to prep for our next adventure. So Ava had a day at daycare. The teachers said she is acting like a big girl and serves herself now at lunch.
And we took her for a second day at daycare too.
Look who insists on sitting in Mila’s exersaucer. Big kid in a little toy.
Then it was time to pack up the Airstream. And hit the road for a test trip.
Bye!
