Ava is currently in the wanting to help phase. She wants to help mommy and daddy do everything. She wants to help me with the laundry. She will pull something out of the dryer and then hand it to me to be hung up. She puts things in the trash if you ask, and she wants to put her dirty diapers in the pail after we change her. She also likes that she then gets to put hand sanitizer on her hands, she likes doing that too. She is such a big helper. You can also get her to clean up, sort of, she pulls everything back out like two seconds later.
She also has started thinking it is hilarious to put her forehead to yours. She even does it to the cat :)
She now often at least tries to repeat something if you say it to her. For instance, if you say "say pink" she may repeat everything but the 'k'. She is coming out with new words all the time, and using the words she already knows even more appropriately. It is amazing how fast she is growing and changing right now. She also is obsessed with babies. If she sees a baby on tv she will point and start jabbering, and loves to see other peoples babies (she can be a little rough though so we are trying to learn to be gentle).
She still would prefer to be outside, but it has been so hot lately that those times outside have been few and far between. Hopefully next week will be a little cooler and we can get out more.
Hopefully this gives you a little Ava fix.
