At the lake

Ava and I spent a Monday night at the lake with out neighbours/friends the Gibbs and we loved it! :)



Ava played with the girls while I went on the tube with the other kids. How cute is that little lifejacket?? Haha I had to hold her carefully or I felt like it was choking her.
 

We stayed out pretty late and she had a little nap
 
 

She is so tired - haha she is a little dazed!





Summer's here!

These are from Ava's 8-month shoot:





In July, we took a trip to Great Falls and Ava got her first hat from dad. She traveled pretty well - it was a bit of a test for the family reunion coming up at the end of July in Colorado.




She loves her books!




Asleep at church. Love my sleepy snuggles!


We love to go for walks! I love being home with this girl all day.




Every time I pull out the camera or video camera she wants to come get it.



 Playing with mom!



Not so sure about kisses...haha



I love my baby girl! :)

Ava - 8 months

 8 months old!

Ava has a fun, bubbly little personality. She really is a happy baby. I lucked out! :) I love having my little buddy around all day. At 8 months she crawls just a little bit, but scoots around pretty good to get to where she wants to go.

In the last week before her "8-month birthday" she cut her 3rd tooth, so she now has three in a row on the bottom. Her hair is really light so she still looks pretty bald but it's growing!


She is trying to pull herself up on everything now, and when I go in to get her after a nap or in the morning, she is kneeling up, holding on to the crib rail, just waiting for me. I love it. Going to sleep for naps and bed is a little harder since she sits up so well.


We hung out in the shade in the backyard for an afternoon. I tried to read, but Ava wanted to play.




My shoulders peeled from my lovely July 1st sunburn. Ouch.


Ava woke up at 5:30 am and I had a big shoot I needed to be at that morning, so she came to bed with me. When I got up to get ready she (thankfully) stayed asleep and she was like this when I left:




Yes, she was still in her clothes from the night before. I can't remember what we did, but she must have fallen asleep in the car.

Still trying to pull herself up on everything:



Kind of a poser!





Just hangin' out! 


She loves Tebow (Clark's dog) but doesn't really want him to get too close.





 A little grass tasting...




 We love summer nights! :)


Hanging out at my parent's place

Just playin' with mom

And she's up! 

Best buds! :)
