Messy Baby

The last month Ava has been going to Messy Baby and really has enjoyed it!  She has everything from playing with Jello to painting a pumpkin.  She really loves all the songs we sang and playing with the bubbles.  It was a great group and hope to do it again!

Ava's Boat Ride

One of our last days in Florida we got to take a boat ride on the inner coastal.  It was Cary and Ava first time on the "Bite Me" and they loved it!  Ava got to be the captain for a little bit.  She was a natural and I think we might have a future captain:)  I know Aunt Nancy would love that.  It was a beautiful night looking at all the house and enjoying the ocean air.  Definitely a beautiful place!  We had so much fun and it was a smooth ride thanks to Captain Nancy.

Ava at Delray Beach

Ava got to experience her first beach day and she had so much fun.  She loved the waves and playing in the sand when mommy would let her:)  Every time a wave would hit her she would just giggle and giggle.  Also she got to play in the sand with Grandmom and Hunter.  What a great day spent at the beach.  I think she is going to love the water when she gets older but she will be a swimmer:)  Can't wait to go back to the beach next summer!

Ava's day with Great Aunt Nancy

Hugs to Aunt Nancy

Ava spent the whole day with Great Aunt Nancy!  She was definitely spoiled and really didn't care when mommy and daddy got home.  They had a fun day of swimming and playing.  Ava got to play everywhere around the house and enjoyed every minute of it.  I don't think she wanted to go home:)

Ava loves the water!

While we were in Florida Ava had so much fun in Aunt Nancy's pool.  She got to play with her cousins Hunter and Bailey and float around with Daphne the Dolphin:)  Ava would just splash and splash and get so excited with giggles and screams.  She never wanted to come out!  I think we might have to get a pool as she gets older!  She is our water baby:)

Trip to Florida

Cary finally got his vacation for the summer!  Cary, Ava, and I went down to Florida for a friend's wedding and decided to make it an extended trip.  We also got to see lots of family while we were down there which is always a lot of fun!  Stayed with Aunt Nancy for the week and she treated us to a nice relaxing week as she took care of Ava most of the time:)  Also it was out niece Bailey's birthday so we got to celebrate with her and see Cheryl and Larry since they always make it down the kids birthdays.  Uncle Kevin and Aunt Linda decide to swing on by to meet Ava and visit for awhile.  Florida was a lot of fun, hope to do it again in 2012!  I know Ava would love it!
