My first time eating corn on the cob

The other night Ava kept reaching for something on the table, and I couldn't figure out what she wanted. After handing her a piece of everything off my plate, I figured out she wanted my corn on the cob. I didn't have much left on it, but I gave it to her and she knew just what to do with it! It was so funny to watch her.
So last night I fixed corn on the cob again, and she got her own little cob. She really liked it, however, she like it much better when I held it for her.

Playing dress up

Here's Ava playing dress up. I wore this dress in a wedding when I was about her age. Of course she had to have those red shoes on!
She could almost pass for Dorothy on Wizard of Oz, with the blue dress and red shoes on!

Doesn't she look lovely

Fun at the pool

These are Ava's new favorite toys. She likes carrying around the watering can and she loves her red shoes. She's figured out that if you turn the can on it's side and step up on it, you can see what is on the table. Smart little cookie, huh! Everyday she gets her red shoes out and wants them on. They are only about two sizes too big! She looks a little like white trash, but it's a pretty funny picture!

Mommy and Ava at the zoo

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We went to a Fun Day on base Wednesday. They had all kinds of games for kids, food, a horse, and you could get in the helicopters and tanks. It was a very hot, but fun day. Ava loved the horse from far away, but wasn't too sure about it up close.
Then today, went to the zoo here in Manhattan. It was Ava's first time going to the zoo. She liked looking at the animals, especially the ducks. It's a small zoo, but perfect for little kids and hot days, because it only took a little over an hour to go through it.
Blake's mom, sister, and niece are coming over this weekend. I'm sure we'll go swimming, so I'll be posting some pictures of Ava at the pool.
Have a great weekend.
