Ava update

Ava will be 15 months on Monday. This video is of her jabbers. It was a full 5 minutes, but I cut it down some :) It is so funny to us because the other girls went straight to saying words or signing, no jibber jabber. It sure is cute, but we have been working on more signs this last week. Today, she signed kitty for the first time. She also said "Mama" when we asked her to! Other than that her words are "uh oh" and "ouch." Walking is also what we are working on with her. It is hard for her to get her right foot moving, but we think she is real close to taking a step on her own. She has incredible balance and muscles. We frequently find her sneaking outside down the bigger than normal steps or quickly climbing the bunk bed ladder to play on Naomi's bed.

The three together before Easter service. Even in the hats and only one with no shoes!
Ava contemplating what this thing is and why she keeps picking it up and putting it in her basket.
Nate never misses a chance to ride bikes with all the girls. Naomi got a new (to her) one so the other girls did too :)
Just having a snack and playing peek a boo. I love the little smile she has.

I'm so glad you caught this, this jib-jabbering will be replaced by words and sentences before you know it! Couldn't you just listen forever... so adorable!
