a few more...

Our internet was out for a week and a half. I kind of hated it. And I kind of loved it all at the same time. Now I'm having a serious relationship crisis with Facebook. We may be on the fritz.

Anyway, here are a few more pictures. The first is to show Grammie how much hair Ava has! (yes, I know the piggies are kind of ghetto...it's just for a picture!)

The second is to document how many teeth Ava has at 11 months. Can you see the little molar? That popped out without us knowing. Weird.

And two more cute videos. I couldn't resist. Some days, this is what we do...a lot.

And finally...I KNEW there was a budding musician in there! Look at that pure delight!

While I was away, Erik introduced Ava to watermelon...and so it begins! 

(and p.s., she is eating spaghetti again! hooray!)
