Halloween



Here are some photos of Ava on Halloween. She was dressed as a cow (complete with tail!) courtesy of Nana. She was really cute and she LOVED the outfit. In the days preceding the holiday, she would say "Moo" every time she saw her costume!

She can say many different animal noises now - quack, moo, meow, ruff, roar, hiss, hoot hoot... but her favorite by far is the mouse - eee eee eee!!! She cracks up whenever we do the mouse sound.

Verbally she is growing daily by leaps and bounds. It's hard to tell at this point if some of the words are just mimicry or if she actually understands what they mean, but she pretty much tries to copy everything we say. Recent new words have been giraffe, baggie, tag, all done. AND - unfortunately - we have finally accepted that she is saying MINE!!! For a week or so she's been going around saying what sounds like my, my, my. I thought it was just a sound she was making and was in denial about her saying mine (because I hate it when kids say that!).... but it's pretty clear now that that's what she means. Oh well, maybe she'll grow out of it quickly :)
