Ava's monkey named Monte

Chris placed a cute brown monkey we received at a baby shower given to us by our family (Kyle Voorhees, my second cousin picked it out!) on Ava's shelf above her diaper changing pad. When he changes her diaper, I could hear him asking her, "Where is your monkey? Can you find your monkey?" She would stare right at it...and it began to be something we continuously ask her to entertain her while we are changing her diaper.

Then...Chris decided to name the monkey Monte...after my parents neighbor who we love and adore. Monte doesn't mind...and now will forever be known as Uncle Monkey!
