Ava's first time "swimming" with her friends Sophie and Cate.
Sophie, Cate and Ava (We could NOT get Ava to look up at the camera.)
Ava looks a little scandalous in these pictures because her swimsuit is a few sizes too big for her. Ooops...
Ava all dressed up for church. She's happy before church...
...but not so happy after church. Sunday's are a long day for Ava.
Ava was so tired after church that she fell asleep on the swing outside next to mama.
Ava has learned a new trick - sitting up! She loves sitting up, but we have to be close by still because she's still working on her balance. The past two days she's been doing really well sitting up by herself. It kind of happened over night, so we were a little shocked at how well she has done. She hates to lay down now, especially when we change her diaper. 
(I let Ava play with my phone sometimes, but I might have to stop that soon because of the amount of drool she has. It may have water damage now!)
This is my twin sister, Annie, playing with her girls Emma and Elsie. We thought about throwing Ava on top, but she's still a bit too small.
We had a great time together, especially when all the kids were down for the night!


Here are some more pictures of Ava. As you can see here, Ava has found something new to chew, suck, lick ...her toes!! Ava saw her friend, Sophie, last week at the park doing this, so she thought it looked pretty yummy and wanted to give it a try. Apparently she thinks it's pretty cool too because she does it a lot now.
