Here is a picture of Ava playing in the tubes at Gymboree. This picture was taken right before her Baby Signs class Wednesday night. She is doing good at paying attention and watching the signs we use. She is still pretty young to be able to sign them back to us but we can tell she is really taking it all in. We try to sign at home as much as we can. So far, we have learned signs for Mealtime and Bedtime! This week in class we will learn Bathtime signs!!
Here is a picture of Ava playing with the baby-safe mirror at Kindermusik. We were singing the song "Who's Making all that Noise?"...it was a favorite of hers along with the rest of the class!
Here is a picture of Ava's Kindermusik class! We will miss all of our friends and can't wait to see them in the Fall! Starting from the left her friends are Melissa, Teila, Paul, Aiden and then Ava! They really like playing with the big drum. We are really going to miss her teacher Miss Amy! Don't forget, Thursday is Kindermusik night at the Applebee's in Plainfield. If you plan on going please e-mail me so I can forward you a flyer. All you have to do is give the flyer to your server and 15% of your total bill will be donated to the Kindermusik Scholarship fund!! Please help support Kindermusik!
Here are some pictures of Ava playing in her playroom. She really likes her Peek and Play Discovery Dome that she got from Santa Claus for Christmas. Now that she is mobile, she makes quite a mess in her playroom!
On Saturday, Ava's 10 Month Birthday, she started crawling! Once she got going there was no stopping her! In the afternoon, Mommy, Daddy and Ava went to the park to play for a little bit. She enjoyed going down the slides, swinging and riding on the animals! She got her first scrape on her knee!! She was a big girl and didn't cry though! There's no crying at the park!! For dinner we went to Grandma Harless' house! She had alot of fun playing with Uncle Clay! Here is a picture of her riding on the chicken (?) at the park!
On Sunday we went to Great Nana and Great Papa's for dinner. Here is a picture of Ava playing with Domino. He just wanted to give her kisses. She liked the attention he gave her at first then she started pushing him away!
Here is a picture of Ava playing instruments at Little Wonders on Monday. She likes to eat the jingle bells on the hand bells! Half of the song she shakes them and the other half she eats them!
After Little Wonders we went for a playdate at the park with Becket and his mommy and Mary and her mommy. Becket is in our Little Wonders class so we went with them! We went to Arbuckle Acres in Brownsburg. We had never been there before but we had a great time. We were sad though because the slides were too hot to slide on!! We had a great time swinging though!
Grandma Harless went to Gymboree with us on Monday night! It was Ava's last night in Level 2! She is a big girl in Level 3 now that she can crawl and is 10 Months old! She is getting so big! Here she is stacking the air shapes on the balance beam!
Here she is walking like a bear up the shape ramp! She was trying to see what Mommy was doing!! What a goober!
Thanks for looking at our blog everyone! Enjoy the rest of the afternoon!Love,
Grant, Christin & Ava

Sunday, Mother's Day, we went to church. Afterwards we went to the park and spent some time with Grandma 
Here is Little Miss playing with her crazy Great Uncle Chris. She's such a ham!
After the park we went to Grandma Roberson's for dinner. There we saw Grandma and Grandpa Roberson, Great Grandma 
Here is Ava looking at the lizards and turtles. They aren't too fun to watch because they don't move much but she likes to stand up against the glass and look in at them!
He got Isaac too!! Both of them escaped unharmed thankfully! It was a good picture opportunity though!
Monday night we had 
I will try to be better at keeping the blog updated! 
Monday evening we had Gymboree. Ava had a splendid time playing with her Gymboree friends. Her friend Anna will no longer be at Gymboree because they are moving to PA...we will miss you Anna!
Look at all of the bubbles on Ava's head!
Tuesday, Ava had a Dr. Appointment early in the morning. She weighs 17lbs and is 27 inches long. She is in the 10th percentile for her weight, 25th percentile for her height and her head is in the 90th!!! She gets that from the Hughes side :)
After the Dr. appointment we met Jaclyn, Mishaela and Uriah at the zoo. They also brought their cousin Tyler. We had a great time walking around and looking at the animals with them!
Today, Michaiah (one of Ava's many "boyfriends") has to have surgery at Riley! We just want them to know we are thinking about them and can't wait until he is feeling better so we can come over and play!
Yeah! I am having so much fun!
