Ava Turns 5!

Ava's birthday was last Tuesday and we celebrated with a big party here at the house complete with baby farm animals (those poor chicks) and a bouncy slide combo. We invited her whole class (all 22 kids) and family of course and Ava had a blast. Here are some pics.

Ava said

With all the focus lately being on getting Owen to say Mama, Ava wanted in as well. The other morning the three of us were in my bathroom getting ready for the day and I hear Ava say to Owen:

"Owen, say A-V-A, come on. Say Ayy Vvv Aaa and I'll karate chop your neck". I guess she's had a little too much of Barbie and the Three Musketeers lately.

Owen says "Mama"

Owen has started talking - his first word was Dada - so not to be outdone, I've been coaching him on saying Mama and he's got it down! And don't worry, thats not toothpaste we're feeding him:)
