Life is about to change...Ava will be walking soon (I think!). She's been pulling herself up to stand holding onto furniture since the 4th of July..in the last week or two, she has suddenly decided she is brave enough to stand in the middle of the room holding on to nothing! Even if I am sitting right there on the floor or there is furniture to hold on to, she lets go and just stands there. Right now its just for a minute or so and then she gets wobbly and squats down but I have a feeling we will have a walker on our hands before she turns 11 months :)
Ava's other new tricks include splashing in the dog's water bowl and the toilet bowl (YUCK-note to self: close the lid!). She has also learned how to blow bubbles in her bath, flush the toilet, take the toilet paper roll down and unravel it, open the kitchen cupboards and take stuff out (another note to self: must install cabinet locks pronto!) and climb the stairs (see picture below). She is a very busy girl and keeps us moving..Oh and her teeth are coming through more so you can see them when she giggles which is adorable! I will have to try to catch them on film..
She spent this Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa so Nick and I could go out and enjoy fall fest- she loved it there! She has lots of fun new toys and they let her have syrup on her pancakes so I'm sure she'd gladly stay with them anytime :) Nick has been working 12 hr days for the last 10 days thanks to Hurricane Ike so we will all be glad when life gets back to normal. We are in the middle of painting the outside of our house and garage..it is quite the project but I am too cheap to pay someone else to do it...We are all looking forward to finishing it because it will be our LAST project on our house and then we can relax for the winter (and Nick will have time to hunt instead of remodeling the bathroom like last winter)
If at first you don't succeed...

Ahhh she sounds like she's growing very quickly! It's so sweet when they are in the learning stages, they are always so proud of themselves! YAY Ava!!
I bought a lock for the fridge yesterday because Maggie is constantly rooting around in it looking for stuff - or just leaving the door wide open. Locks are the best invention!
I'm glad you and Nick were able to get some alone time! I'm convinced that grandparents do things like give our kids the stuff we don't allow simply so the kids behave for them and like them better, LOL! Whatever, if it means they'll watch our kids I don't care :)
Ready Set GO! Life will never be the same when she starts walking! Sounds like she's ready to go... are you ready?? ( Im still not!!)
