32 Weeks

First we have great news! We got the pathology report back from MD Anderson on Friday. Kristi sent it to us as soon as she got it and there was no more tumor detected so Steve is free and clear! We were expecting that news but still a tad worried we might get a surprise. It was so good to hear. You hear about Melanoma all the time but never realized how serious it was until Steve got it and we started doing our research. Then last Thursday on Grey's Anatomy one of the main characters Izzy was diagnosed with a Malignant Melanoma that had already spread to her liver and brain. Just a TV show but that really got us thanking God for catching this so early and thanking Kristi for getting us in so quick at her office!

In doodle news....the bugger is moving and moving. Now that she can crawl she wants to crawl at all times now. She still loves her walker and it's like the indy 500 in here every day, but she loves to crawl and explore. Of course she's really drawn to electrical cords. We unplug everything when she's on the floor and can get to it. I told Steve maybe she's going to be an electrician when she grows up. He said if that's the case then she may also be a pole dancer because she's always pulling up on the floor lamp and then swiveling around it until she's back on her bottom on the floor. NOT FUNNY!
Thursday we went over to Courtney's to visit her and cousin Trent. Ava apparently didn't learn her lesson with Kate and went right up to Trent and smacked him in the face a few times. Then she reached up and grabbed a chunk of his hair. He was a tough boy though and didn't make a peep. Courtney said "well I'm glad Kelley's raising the neighborhood bully!" LOL. Then Nana came over and Courtney and Nana were surprised at how quickly Ava has started crawling and standing. Courtney checked her chart and said that standing usually doesn't happen until around 9 months. When Nana saw Ava's two bottom teeth she said "I can't believe she already has teeth!" and Courtney said "Yeah next time we see Ava she's going to wearing a training bra already geez!" I told Steve and we got a chuckle. She better slow down this growing so fast thing because mommy can't handle it!!

Things Ava loves at 32 weeks:
  • electrical cords
  • practicing talking
  • grabbing a chunk of the dog's skin and squeezing it as hard as she can while pulling
  • daddy's baseball caps
  • chewing up her crib railing so it now looks like a little beaver sleeps in there
  • chewing up her cardboard books like a puppy dog
  • Gerber Puffs!!
  • pulling up on anything and everything to stand
  • running over the dogs with her walker
  • chasing casper through the house in her walker while waving her arms in the air and screeching at the top of her lungs
  • giving mommy a kiss on the cheek (really an open mouthed suck on the cheek)
  • MUSIC....loves any kind of music.
  • slapping other babies in the face
  • her sippy cup
  • the remote control
  • her vitamin drops
  • peeing on the floor when daddy changes her diaper
  • taking the zip lock bags out of the pantry and carrying them around on her walker tray
  • pulling all of her books off of the shelf and "displaying" them all over the floor

Things Ava doesn't like at 32 weeks:

  • squash
  • diaper changes
  • getting dressed
  • being restrained in her car seat
  • when mommy or daddy leaves the room
  • when mommy tries to get boogers out of her nose

Giving cousin Trent CPR after I slapped him around pretty good

Ballet Dancer maybe?
