I bought these wings for Ava when she was very, very little. I thought...we'll never get into these big wings. Well...Ava is 13 months old now and can wear her wings while she plays. They hang on a hook in her bedroom right next to her closet. Whenever I am in the closet she points at them or tries to grab them. Finally, on this day I took them off and said to her, "do you want to wear your wings while you play?" Ohhhhhh, so sweet. She tried to see them while they were on her back...turning around like a cat does when he is trying to find his tail...which gave me a big laugh. After she figured out she couldn't see them...she forgot about them and played. It was fun seeing her walk around the house with them on.
We have been invited to our friends (Brit, Peggy, Darian and Elle) annual Pumpkin Carving Party for several years. This is the first year that Ava has been able to attend. She got right into it! She was extremely entertained by all of the children running around playing in the lawn and lots of pumpkin goop to touch and taste. Chris carved a sweet face in our pumpkin while Ava watched (a little) and tasted the goods. We had such a great time and the weather couldn't have been more perfect! And...another thing that just tickled us was that a couple of our friend's children who attended Ava's first Birthday party remarked on how much bigger our baby has gotten. So funny!
