Within the last few days Ava's started making this face. We laugh, she laughs, and then she does it again. Mike thinks she's imitating me so I'm starting to get a little sensitive when she makes the face and they both have a good laugh.
What a comedian!In response to Amy's comment about Ava not grabbing the cat, I've decided to upload this video. I hope no-one calls the ASPCA on me but Ava, who certainly adores the cat, doesn't exactly leave her alone. Ringle gets lots of kisses ("mmmmmmaaaah") and lots of "gentle pats" (see video). The first words out of her mouth in the morning, as well as the moment we walk in the door after work, are "kee-kee" and "meow". So view this video knowing that it's out of pure love that Ava abuses the cat.
As you can see, Ava loves to go lay her head down on the cat while she's sleeping. Ringle doesn't mind that or even several kisses and pats but this went a bit too far for her taste. In my defense, I usually intercept this kind of behaviour but...well...I wanted to capture it for posterity. Sorry Rings.
Here's some footage I shot today on Ava's 15-month birthday. Also, if you weren't able to view "Ava and the Door", I apologize. It should be working now. Here's the link.
"Whoa! Do you have any idea how heavy those are, Mama?"
Off again...
I leave you with a little peek into how Ava sleeps...
That's her "beh". Ava's been so much fun recently. She's saying lots of new words and doing all kinds of hilarious things. It's impossible to capture it on a blog. I don't know where to start. I wish I could just have a camera running 24/7. I love watching her while she explores and figures out how things work. Here she is practicing walking in and out of the office door. I should note that she did this over and over for about 30 minutes. No exaggeration.
