Yawning and Dancing

Cheerios!

Ava loves Cheerios.  

"These are good eats!" 

"Here Papa, you try one." 

"And another one." 

"I am glad you like them, too." 

"Now one for me." 

"More for papa."

 

"And another"

"And another"

"Papa ate all my Cheerios!" 

Ava and Hummus

It turns out that Ava does not like hummus. After a very small taste, Ava's lip became more than a little swollen. So, Ava decided to visit the emergency room at Overlake Friday night. 

"I don't think this gown is my size. Do you have something a bit smaller and in purple?" 

We spent a couple of hours in the ER.  It turns out Ava is very allergic to something in hummus.   Thanks to some lovely Benadryl Ava slept through most of it. 

"ZZZZZzzzz" She was snoring. Mom and Papa were never so happy to hear little baby snores.

The next day Ava was up and walking.  Yes, walking. She took her first couple of steps Saturday night.

  Unfortunately, we were too busy cheering to take a picture, but look for some next week.

Update: After allergy testing we found out that hummus is probably the worst possible food for Ava.  She is allergic to both sesame and garbanzo beans.  However, she  is not allergic to peanuts (there is Kennedy in there somewhere after all). 

Ava and the Teeth

Ava has been a little sad this week.

"I have been cutting FOUR teeth.  See, four--at once. It is not easy."

                               But it is not all bad....

"If I just dance, sometimes I feel better." 

"And next time you see this smile, it just might be a toothy grin." 

Ava and Mom's Instructions

Another Ava video,
one in which she follows her Mom's instructions to the tee

Just a taste

Ava has tried many new foods over the last three months.  She has learned how to communicate which she would prefer not to have again.

I wonder what she thinks of squash? 

"Ava"cado

Ava has discovered that she likes praise. In fact, she would like us to applaud her every bite. 

Everybody clap your hands!
