Outrage

I said I wouldn't post again until after we'd moved because I didn't think we'd have time. I'm just procrastinating because sometimes when a project is so huge and overwhelming, I avoid and procrastinate...and here I am, procrastinating on packing up the house by blogging. Anyway, I couldn't resist mentioning a couple of cute things Ava does...

When I give Ava a command or say something she doesn't like and doesn't want to do, she gives me a look of offended outrage. Knit your eyebrows like you're frowning and let your jaw drop as if in shock - that's the look on her face! If Ava climbs onto the couch and stands on it, I usually tell her to sit and she gives me that look of outrage as if to say, "how dare you?!"

Another thing that cracks me up is when she says "mmmMMmmm" when she gets food that she likes. I gave her a slice of cheese today and she pounced on it, saying "mmMMmm."

Ava is climbing everything. EVERYTHING. She climbs stairs, onto chairs, the couch, into her toy chest, up her high chair (her favorite), and yesterday, Greg caught Ava standing on our dining room table. Greg thought it was funny but I didn't think so. Greg will have to get in the habit of pushing in his chair so Ava can't climb.

The poor darling is getting her molars. She's pretty miserable but thank goodness for children's Tylenol and Motrin.

That's all!
