Today was the day Brynn finally mastered the full rollover from back to tummy! She's been rolling from tummy to back for a while now, but was working really hard to do the other way around.
She's talking and talking all day long, sounds like German :)
She loves sitting up, wants to stand all the time and is now jumping around in her jumperoo. She also prefers the bumbo chair over her bouncy seats. If you put her in the bouncy she is constantly pulling herself up trying to sit upright. She doesn't like to sit by herself too long anymore and so I am busy with one of them 24/7.
She is still the happiest, sweetest baby. Smiles constantly, wakes up happy and goes to bed happy. The
only time she gets upset and cries is when she's overtired or starving. Mainly in the evenings if her bedtime routine is disrupted or thrown off. We have been working to get Steve able to put her down at night, so far it's going terrible.
Ava and Brynn's baby cousin Cole was born yesterday! 8lbs 7oz and we visited him today. Ava was very curious and told all of us how Brynn came out of mommy's tummy and Cole came out of Aunt Courtney's tummy. She crawled into bed with Courtney, talked to the baby and tried to help Courtney out. I think Courtney could have done without the nursing coaching from Ava. haha!
Speaking of Ava, last week we went to go visit another school we were considering putting her and Brynn in. It's a church school nearby and Trent also goes there. As we were headed over there Ava asked where we were going. We told her that we were going to go look at Trent's school and Ava might go there when mommy goes back to work. Ava said "mommy if you don't go to work to get money, then Ava doesn't go to school" Then when we got to the school she saw the playground and begged to go play. We told her that she could play on the playground when she started going to school there and she looked at me and said "mommy go to work"

Too little for juice boxes
In the mornings when Ava wakes up we lay in my bed and watch cartoons and talk. This morning Ava was talking to Brynn and asked her if she wanted a juice box or a milky, but then promptly told her that she was too little for juice boxes and couldn't have them until she was big.
Ava's last week as a 2 year old
Looking back at just earlier this year, I can't believe how much my baby has grown into a little girl. No longer a toddler but more of a preschooler. She dropped the baby fat and doesn't even look like a baby anymore :( I get so sad at how fast it goes, but at the same time we love watching her blossom. She has grown so much in height that she looks like a little bean pole now. Our neighbors often comment on how tiny she is and we tell them that we have her on a diet. (just a joke people!)
One night we told them we were going to go in and eat dinner and Steve pointed to Ava and said "oh but not her, just lettuce for her. Maybe a carrot if she's lucky" LOL!
Tonight Steve put Ava to bed and shortly after she came out with a scowl on her face and scolded Steve "Daddy!? Why didn't you ask me if I needed to go potty? You have to ask me if I need to go potty, okay daddy. Don't forget next time daddy okaaaay."
