Ava: 160 weeks old…
Peek-a-boo! Ava is now 160 weeks old!!
First stop this week was the Ostrich Ranch! It took some time but Ava finally warmed up to the lorikeets. Yeah!
And she fed them like a pro and made her Mama so proud!
She also fed lots and lots of deer.
And silly goats too.
Our first campsite of the trip was right across from a playground. Ava couldn’t have been happier.
And she got to stick her hand in a pool too.
But that wasn’t good enough. She needed to wear her new flip flops.
She walked VERY slowly to the pool with those things on.
So she can do what us big people do. Dip our feet in the pool.
In the rec room, Ava announced that she was going to read some girl books now. She came back in a boatload of romance novels. Pink ones. And said that all these Fabio men in them were Superman. Awesome.
The next day, it was warm enough for a real pool day.
And she got to wear her new bikini. “Just like Mama” she said.
Jump, Ava. Jump!
She has been occupying herself with her tool set with Dada outside.
And hosting tea parties for all of her friends.
And writing postcards too.
Then the rains came. But she didn’t mind. Time to bust out her Hello Kitty getup.
And spend time indoors in the rec room. Dancing.
She also got to play with a friend she met the last time we came through Tucson.
And pay for laundry for the first time. A serious highlight in her day.
Then it was sight-seeing time. Breakfast at the Cup Cafe.
Ghost hunting at the Hotel Congress. (She didn’t see any this time).
Playing at the Children’s Museum. Her favorite part was being a vet and giving cats shots in their foreheads.
Shopping was pretty fun for her too.
This? Not so much. I totally posed her for this moment.
We had a puppet show for Dada too, who was enjoying that bike a little too much.
This week Ava started to eat green mild salsa. Good job Ava!
And Yoda sat on her lap. Notice how the milky is down. She didn’t want anything to ruin this moment.
Alright. Time to play with our new English friends. Bye!
