Valentines

We made Valentines cookies - Ava is getting very good at rolling out the dough and with sprinkles. Zac is getting very good at eating them too! He now has eight teeth - six front and two molars. He is getting much better with eating fruits and veggies - thank goodness. Before all he ate was bread and cheese! He loves edamame beans (green soy beans) and swallows them whole. He loves watching the beans POP out of their pods - just giggles and eats it right up! Ava loves them too, but no real surprise there as she is pretty much a good eater.

Got My Girl Back!

After a very difficult year, Ava is finally coming around to being a GIRL - and I have High School Musical to thank for it. Ashley Tisdale is her new hero (sorry spiderman). She loves to be her and has us call her Sharpay (Ashley's character in the movie). She even says her favorite color is pink - note her shoes that she loves now! I couldn't be prouder. She is as silly and excited as ever, just she is now silly and excited in pink - love it.

Waiting for Snow

more snow to start falling tonight and all day tomorrow - so we should have plenty more sledding to do! Ava and Zac have been playing and fighting more and more now. She often tells me "I'm playing by myself now" meaning keep Zac away! But before I know it, she is looking for him and when she does, it is too precious. She can be so incredibly sweet sometimes it leaves me speechless. She'll want to do all sorts of stuff with him and will talk away (I wonder where she gets this from?). It is too funny and Zac has no idea or interest is what she is talking about - but somehow Ava just doesn't seem to mind. This day outside, she must of pulled that sweet boy around the house a half dozen times, both of them laughing all the way.
