Our Ava

Ava Jane, I like to call her but Randy is always very quick to correct me... She also is fondly called Ava Stinky Hope and Ava Dirty Hope. I try not to partake in this or encourage it but the child is always dirty! It is almost impossible to keep her clean- whether it is food or markers or the Lord only knows.

Ava is Miss At.ti.tude. She isn't really grumpy per say but just quick to put you in your place. I wish I could just list all of the things she says to us on a given day. She can stare you down and be downright stubborn too. She is also the sweetest, most helpful and cuddly child. She is the first one to offer to run for a diaper if I need one. She loves to have books read to her and she loves to experiment with writing all the letters and trying to spell words. Anytime she is away from Bella she says she misses her but on most days she decides she has had enough and no longer wants to play princesses with her.

Ava talks a lot and has a lot of questions. She in preschool two days a week and loves learning. I would love to see her interact with her friends... she seems to be quiet with them but holds her own, in other words, she gets mean when she is not okay with something. She is a sugar-holic and we have to hide it all, even the stinkin vitamins! She loves her milk too. We do lactose free milk with her and avoid dairy as much as possible- nothing dramatic but helps keep things solid if you know what I mean.

Ava loves her little brothers and the way she says their names melts our hearts... "Powta" (said like a Georgia woman) and Turner the same way.

Her eyes are more green these days but still show stoppers. She is starting her next gymnastics class this week and then trying out soccer for the first time in a few weeks. Like her sister, she started swimming last summer. Just today she started riding Bella's bike with training wheels as opposed to a tricycle or big wheel. At her four year checkup this past week our new doctor referred to her as a tank... no comment. Everything went well and we plan to look into her new stuttering pattern sometime soon (it seemed to come out of nowhere this past fall).
