Month Thirteen
Ava June,
You change so much every month, we can't keep up any more. We keep asking you to slow down and stop growing, but it isn't working. You have 5 teeth, one nap a day, and you're learning how to talk. You started going to a new day care and you really like it! You have 9 little friends in your class, and really great teachers. You really like to be involved in whatever is going on, and you start babbling any time the rest of us are talking. You communicate really well - you still use the "milk" sign for most everything, but you do clap sometimes for "more" and pat your face for "food". You often just point at things you want and make noise. Soren is now "see-ah" instead of "neh neh", which is so sweet. She used to call herself "see-you" when she was a baby.
You like to dance (see videos!), you walk really fast, you spin in place, you laugh when we tickle you and when Soren does something funny, you play pattycake, you climb everything, and you sometimes throw fits. We put a little potty in the bathroom for you to practice on, and you sat down and peed in it. You make a new face now when you get jealous. When your friend Ruby took away your baby doll, your little green monster came out and you bared your bottom teeth at her. You seem to have a new expression every day, and every morning you wake up prettier.
Love, Mama and Daddy
